Art Trade - Retsy and Sapphire

Description

Art trade with :iconsaphamia:
She asked me to draw her wildcat character, Sapphire, sneaking in and pinching something off of someone... :D

Premise:
Danbuster managed to acquire the services of expert thief, Sapphire the wildcat. He's still as determined as ever to win his brother back to the good side and his friends, Frederick and Spencer, helped advise him that the best means of doing that is to keep Retsy from any evil influence possible...
To this end, Danbuster made out a cheque for £250, which he promised to hand over in exchange for a spellbook belonging to Retsubnad... this being a book of evil spells that Danbuster feels ought to be destroyed now before Retsy has a chance to learn them! Sapphire looks like having a handsome reward coming her way for services to the greater good! :D

Her half of the trade can be found here. Marquila, playing with the Redwall Dibbuns: [link] :aww:


BTW, Tolkien-fans may observe that Retsy is a devout Tolkien-fan himself! Like Christopher Lee, he has read through "Lord of the Rings" at least once every year and has studied the Dwarfish Runes and Elvish Script that Tolkien invented. Also, the palantír that he possesses was found (so he claims) in the ruins of Barad-dûr (from after when Sauron was finally defeated).
The runes written into the sides of the pedestal translate as:
PONTENTIA OMNIS SIENTIA (Potentia omnis scientia - there is no C in Dwarfish runes, so it must be left out or replaced with S or K, depending on whether it's a soft or hard C. This phrase, incidentally, is Latin for "All-knowing power", which is rather an extravagent boast considering that Sapphire just robbed him from right behind his back)
PALANTIR OV RETSUBNAD (Palantir of Retsubnad - but the phonetics of the word "of" makes the soft F sound more like a V)

Also, the Elvish writing surrounding the palantír reads:
I AM DHE SEEING STONE OV RETSUBNAD -- YÛ CANNOT HIDE -- I SÊ YÛ (I am the seeing stone of Retsubnad -- You cannot hide -- I see you! ...again, written out as it sounds phonetically, rather than real spelling)

It looks like you have a really interesting story going on here DC and Danbuster. May Shadow Sly be of assistance to aid Danbuster to help get his brother back?
