Shep
Institutionalized

Shep is known throughout his villages as "the stupid shepard boy", but they don't know him very well! Join Shep as he tries to win the heart of the fiesty shepardess, Gabrielle, and fight off the so-called "village hero", Conlan!

Shepard Booth

This is Shepard Booth a.k.a Shep, my little shepard boy. He is based offa the poem "The Passionate Shepard to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe. He is in love with Gabrielle the shepardess, and wishes to one day win her heart...Many crappy things happen to Shep in the process though, including getting turned into a kinkaju (if you don't know what a kinkaju is, click here: [link]). Ah, poor Shep.

Gabrielle

This is Gabrielle, the shepardess and the object of Shep's affection. She is based off of the poem "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard" by Sir Walter Raleigh. Basically, she is not impressed by Shep's attempt's to woo her. She is also the love interest of Conlan, the village's arrogant hero. She is not much impressed with him either...Picky, aren't we there, Gabby? ^_^

Conlan

This is Conlan, the village hero. He has slayed many beasts, impressed many rulers, and has slept with many, many women. Now, he is after Gabrielle. She doesn't seem too impressed...As for Shep, he's getting heroically wedgied. When a lowly shepard vs. the village hero and much loved "good guy", I don't suppose it's gonna go well...When I say Conlan, I think of "Conan" as in the barbarian. Of course, Conlan means "hero" so it's pretty fitting...

Such a lonely day...

The lyrics to System of a Down's song, "Lonely Day", seem to suit him pretty well. I can sorta see the voice fitting him too...That's why I put it as his "theme song"! Poor Shep...I suppose it does get rather lonely in that field with only sheep to keep you company. Don't mock my inaccurate reflection! That was hard to draw...

Locked up

Poor Shep! This is one of Conlan's ideas. Right now Shep is awaiting trial for thieft, as in something that Conlan stole...Luckily, he'll get out of it. I haven't figured out how yet, but he will!

Unfinished Shep and the witch

Okay, he's cowering because there's a witch pointing a wand at him, but I haven't finished her yet, so you'll just have to wait for the full picture.
The question is now, why have I posted an unfinished picture? Simple. Because Shep looks awesome and I wanted to post him here and now.
I just love his expression! Even his funny hat is showing it! ^_^ I'm not sure why, but I think I portrayed his body language perfect! I feel cool!
Now that all of my self-obsorbed ranting is over, be sure to check back for the finished version...

Laundry Day

Ah, laundry day! Of course, when you live in a little field located in an old-fasioned village, it really becomes quite a hassle...Huzzah to horribly drawn sheep! Ugh...Shep's head is intirely too big as well...Other than that, though, I think it's kinda cute! ^_^ Shep in his little underwear shirt. By the way, those one things hanging on his line are his hobo gloves...

Mr. Fix-it

Besides sheparding, Shep can also do others things from carpentry to tayloring, from butchering to...some other old fasioned skill that eludes me right now. I suppose it's because he has to fend for himself out in that big ol' field he lives in. Not to mention he can't really afford professionals anyway...For extra cash, he offers these skills to the rest of the village during his freetime. Right now, I would like to imagine he's repairing the village elders' roof...Poor Shep. He's already hit his hands several times obviously.

Naked...in a field

This is after shep's kinkaju transformation. When faced with the problem of of being transformed into a kinkaju, he remembers that such curses can be broken by one thing...a kiss of true love! He cannot think of anyone who truly loves him, but he CAN think of someone who he truly loves. In kinkaju form, he scratches on Gabrielle's window. When she opens her window to inspect, he snatches the kiss and runs off. She chaces after the creature, but by the time she catches up, he has turned back into a human again. Unknowing hat he and the kinkaju are the same, Gabrielle questions Shep for being naked in a field...thus is the scene that you are seeing! ^_^ Oh, he kept his silly hat in kinkaju form, he just had to keep holding it on because it was too big!

Check up for Shep

Ah, another horrible attempt from Conlan to rid himslef of Shep...and another problem for shep tp miraculously pull his way out of! What can I say?  It's basically a mock fairy tale, and the good guys always pull through in those! Well...the ruined modernized versions anyway...Right, so I'm gonna need you to click on this drawing. Why? Because the link will further explain what's going on! Besides, you can't possibly tell me that you've looked through this whole site WITHOUT clicking on anything, can you?
