Jan Challenge Day 2: Andalite Psychopath

Wanted to do something organic (ie easier than robots) and bloody today. Not quite sure how I ended up choosing an Andalite, it's been over a decade since I've read any of the books even though I still have most of them hiding about somewhere. She's done mostly from memory with a slight refresher just to make sure I wasn't getting any aspect of their anatomy horribly wrong..

<It's amazing how indignant many are to be killed by something as primitive as a knife.>

God I loved this series as a kid.

And one more thing, I forgot to tell you all that I am open to requests! So hit me if there's been something that you've been wanting to see, I'm open to a lot of things.

oh! I remember now why I hadn't commented on this! I saw it at work when I was stealth-checking my journal but was still sick enough to not be able to type fast.

I love the splashes of blood. they look like body art or normal coloration, until you realize it's on the knife, too. and then it's a little chilling. nice work.

Ah okay, no worries. That bug looked to have hit you hard.

And yeah, the Andalites have blue-black blood. And what's even more chilling is that the knife isn't really a true knife but the tail blade of another andalite. They're centaur-like things with a long muscular tail that have a defensive blade on the end. >:3
