Mount Apikuni Its a start

I appreciate it! :'D I've been practicing for yearss now, so it pleases me to hear people like my work.
I can understand why you're having such trouble w/ him now. D: It's tough when you have a specific image in mind. I suggest practicing with other characters, just to get a good feel for 'em and then once you're feeling content with your work, try to tackle on a Syver table.

“Wake up, Eli!”
He groaned – half asleep mind interrupted from a dream about chasing butterflies in Wapun Meadow – part of him wanted to roll over and ignore the Eta's beckoning. Sure, he did say the magic word – “explore” – but Eli was also grumpy whenever he's just woken up. His lips pulled in a half-snarl at the silver male's nudge. The Pi didn't attack him though, didn't offer anything more than a look of annoyance until he slowly blinked his blue eyes open. He squinted them, the light blinding him momentarily as he stared at Shadow. He was talking... talking about adventuring, climbing the mountain and hunting.
Eli answered with a big yawn.
Blinking his eyes, he gradually crawled slowly out of the burrow – having a few issues at first and thinking he was stuck a few times. Shadow was waiting outside, looking like he had been refreshed and was ready to take on the world while Eli looked like a zombie with odd hairs sticking up in ever which way.
“Have you been here before?” His voice was groggy, cut through with another yawn.
