Devil’s Due: Pouty Face

Leave a Reply

So Sak of Resting Murder Face Studios did a thing wherein she would draw portraits for people who donated a certain amount to Australian fire-fighting non-profits, and I asked her to draw Murlesson AND SHE DID! Look how handsome my angry pouty boy is! AND she gave me permission to colour it if I so chose, so I did. (I did move the watermark/signature as it would not have been visible where it was otherwise.)

I’m considering commissioning her for a full-body full-colour portrait of him, but it might be a while before I can save up sufficiently.

It’s thanks to the plague going about that I have time off to attend to such things as colouring. As a musician, most of my jobs involve gatherings of people, so most of it has been cancelled. So I shall spend my time working on my cosplays and art and writing.

Ill Wind is Blowing by Yllamse

Where it’s blowing from or to, no one knows yet. But Our Heroes look pretty determined to deal with it. : D Doesn’t Hrulash look spiffy in his new yellow jacket? But everyone looks fantastic. I’d love to have Xanda’s gauntlets. Or Jayce’s shirt! Or Kali’s belt. Seriously, these dragonriders are well-dressed. *hugs Jayce*

Also Yllamse is a wonderful person and a great artist and I love her. : D

Hrulash and Jayce

Hrulash and Jayce, by Yllamse

So… for some reason… Yllamse drew this adorable little pair on my DA wall at some point. I love it; it makes me giggle every time I see it!

I forget why Jayce is thanking Hrulash, but it seems the dignified dragonknight is afraid of hugs. Hmmmmmm.

Yllamse (and the other Riders players) really like Hruly for some reason! I’m flattered. He’s confused. Hahahaha. XD

She also included Hrulash in images here (as his serious, competent, grumpy self) and HERE… as a pony. XD

Esgalwen – Singing to the Moon

Esgalwen – Singing to the Moon, by Aywren

Ngah, this is such a beautiful picture! You should click through to the original post on DA and read Wren’s description of her thoughts on drawing this. I love that she chose to draw Esgalwen in this way, singing at a moon festival in Mirkwood (I totally made up the festival and stuff, but it’s a reasonable invention, no?). I realize that I haven’t drawn a lot of Esgalwen, particularly in non-stressful situations, so this is a favourite picture of mine now. This was part of another art trade; I drew her Zemi.

I plan to use this (with permission : D ) as the ‘cover’ to the Esgalwen story. But first I must rewrite the story so it’s more gooder.

Firestorm and Sunspot

Sunspot and Firestorm, art by Talon

Griffon and rider, art by Talon

A commission I commissioned from fellow Wayrifter and DA user, Talon, of the Generals of the Griffonland, Firestorm the elf and Sunspot the griffon. The second image Talon coloured in the way she did because I didn’t get around to approving the more spot-free colour scheme in a timely fashion. But she did such an amazing job that I’m thrilled to have both versions. I mean, look at it! Iz pretty awesome. Not to mention the beautiful background, which I didn’t describe in any detail, and yet she had the exactly right image.

I’m going to post the rest of the gift/commission art I have, today, so stay tuned for more fabulousness. 😀

Psyche by TalonV

As promised, the followup to yesterday’s picture! Talon said something like “that was fun, can I do another one?” so I said “how about Psyche?” and so she did. Again, click to fullview, because it’s gorgeous! I want everyone to note the cool way she interpreted the hairband – I sent her the cover for reference, and it does look like the hairband is attached to the earrings – even though I never saw it until she drew it! Which is totally cool and I’ll definitely be stealing that design for the actual comic.

Eros by TalonV

As another part of this sketch exchange I participated in, I requested TalonV to draw me Eros (from my webcomic), and she went above and beyond by doing a picture and then colouring it! And you really must click for full-vew because there are lots of lovely details in both of them. You can see the originals here and here.

Tune in tomorrow for the exciting sequel!

Rana art by Rose

Rana, by RoseThornZero

This beautiful piece of art was drawn by Rose, who seems to be my new biggest fan, judging from how often she comments! : D We met on Wayrift, and then on DA, and this piece was part of an art commission trade there. Here is the piece I did as my half of the trade…

I really love how she captured Rana’s spunkiness. She says she enjoyed the character design, and I have to say I am amazed at the care she put into it. Also I like how she does faces, and Rana looks really pretty! In other words, it’s fabulous, yo.

Another thing you should check out is her original fantasy story! It’s very intriguing, and looks like it’s going to be really exciting. The picture I did features two characters from it (who are thus far only peripherally involved, but central plot-wise).

I do have a picture today, but I need to practice before I let myself finish it. Off I go!

P.S. This picture is much larger, but the default resize options for WordPress are a little inconvenient. Click for full-size!
