Siderodromophobia: The extreme fear of trains

This is the even that fucked up Erro big time when it comes to transport

Erro had just discovered his father tied to the railroad tracks outside the city. Desperately trying to loosen the knots Erro couldn't make them budge, he was concentrating so hard on it that he didn't hear the sound of the train's horn as it approached. His dad tried to get him to leave him but Erro refused until his father had no choice but to use the ropes holding him to bring his legs up and kick his son away, Erro tumbled down the bank before quickly looking up, his frantic eyes meeting his father's hopeless gaze for a second before the train passed him. Erro screamed out for him, reaching forward but it was too late, the train rumbled on as if the man's life had been no more difficult to take than plucking a leaf from a tree.

Later on Erro found a bruise on his chest from his father's kick and when it began to fade after a week he would repeatedly beat it to prevent it from fading, much to the anxiety of his mother, he didn't care. He couldn't bear to lose that last connection to his father. And every time one of the New York trains passed nearby their apartment he would clasp his hands to the bruise and his screaming would continue until his mother managed to calm him down several minutes after the train had passed.


So there you go, the story of Erro's fear of trains. 80 years later any hint of the railroad still paralyses him. Hopefully I can enter this to Fallensouls-RP later. Also his eyes are brown here as that is his natural eye colour

For some reason this song seems to go best and I dunno why, I woulda thought something like "What hurts the most" but nope, this song: [link]

This is the only time I ever felt sorry for Erro.

I really like the lineart, and the hands are great, which is awesome because hands are very difficult to draw. The shading technique is good, although it could use a bit more detail. Smooth lineart and colors, and very good quality. The story behind it is very sweet and sad, and I admired the creativity. It takes place in a modern era with realistic situations and characters, so it is very believable. The art could use a bit more detail, especially the grass since you can not differentiate the blades. However, the colors are strong and thorough and the lineart is smooth. I admire that. Overall, it is very good for your style, although it could use some detail.
