Sooooooooooooooooooo, this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. There's a bit of a story behind this one, so please all indulge me a little and allow me to explain:

> It all started with a sketch picture someone made, after they had a thought that went like: "Hey guys, if you put a 'B' on the end of Sandbar's name, you get 'Sandbard'! I'm gonna make a sketch about Sandbar being a fantasy bard!'
> > >95650
> Which I absolutely approve of because he's a heckin' cutie X3
> And then, a few days later there was another upload. Someone else took that basic concept and expanded on it, creating an even more handsome design for us to enjoy.
> > >661887
> For a moment, it seemed like this was going to take off as it's own little niche thing with artists making contributions to the base concept and I was very excited. :3
>
> …and then it just didn't. Which was rather disappointing for me. :/
>
> So I decided to do something about it, to give this handsome and adorable boi the treatment he properly deserves: a fully-colour shaded piece of art depicting him in all his glory! :D

And with this, I am pleased to announce a new series I'm having made, with some help from some wonderful artists!

The beginning of an Legend, of High Adventure, of Merriment and Cheer, of Song and Sonnets, of Friendship and Love, and the occasional Sexual Encounter for good measure because we all know that's what the crowd loves!
So begins: The Saga of the Sandbard :3
