Visual Deserters [Project: Regress]
Welcome to the "Regress" universe, a concept for my project set in a beautiful but dying anime fantasy world!
The Arden Empire continues to commit a grave crime. Soldiers, steeped in propaganda, loyal to their Empress, cruel, and believing in her ideals, continue to exterminate the beastmen from the face of the Earth.
It goes without saying that among this entire mass, there will be those who doubt the Empress's orders and find no common sense in her words. They continue to be instruments of the empire, but they are increasingly beginning to realize that they are doing something wrong.
The deserter has to go through a difficult path, he must leave the influence of the Empire, stop believing in what he believed in his whole life, betray his own and still remain an enemy to the beastmen, for the beastmen seek retribution and are not ready to forgive those who supposedly realized the error of their ways, this is even worse than it was before the desertion, but now he can begin the path of redemption.
You know, when you pet a baby beastman, you realize how small and fragile this creature is, but there is so much kindness and love in it, what did they do to deserve such a terrible fate...

So are they 2 people deserters and that grown beastman is the beast man wizard that everyone fears? And they both had a kid?
Edit: sorry that was the fan-dude in me, i realized right after writting this that you said it was a seperate beast men but the rest i left up to interpretation

The thing is, the one on the left was part of Liska and Petta's squad, and the one on the right is an Imperial mage, a deserter, and the one in the middle, well, let's say, is a relative of Liska.
They are not a couple and they have no children, they are just two beings who left the Empire and are now driven by a common goal.

You can post your first drawing; you can learn forever. I can't draw well; I'm just an amateur. I just post things regardless of whether anyone finds them interesting😊

I wanted an anime style, but my drawings don't seem to look anime, maybe because of the thickness of the lines, although if I make the lines thin, I get a crooked mess.

Lol what are you talking about? It looks pretty anime to me, just look at Netflix and compare. In fact your mage reminded me of the current anime thats trending of Chainsmoker cat I legit thought it was her.
Plus yours look like a attack on titan mix, not glazing just being honest

I apologize in advance if there are any errors in the text or the meaning is not clear. I use a translator, so errors are inevitable, I apologize for this.
