Oh dear Farore. This incredible piece of art is by Aja of True Magic! She says that it was fun to draw. I am happy Flairé is fun to draw. He’s certainly fun to hang out with. I love the sword hilt, and the hair, and the giant leaves, and the cool bench, and the clothes! I also love the fingers (I wish I could just do hands like that) and he’s perfectly tall and skinny!
I worship Aja now.
True Magic rocks!
A tad shy?
This is Firefly, Flaer’s golden-haired little brother, and a rather small kayak. He’s rather cute here…
Shahhh…
The legs aren’t right. Everything else is fine. Really.
Oh, well the sword is using foreshortening that got flubbed, so it’s actually longer than that.
I did a colour version. It will be up when I get to the spring of ’07. Edit: Now up!
Hi-yah!
This is Gullac, Flairé’s brother, the sarcastic one. This is the first picture I drew with my new mechanical pencil, and it came out pretty well, although the arms are crazy. Something happened to Gullac’s hair, too. It didn’t look like that last time.
Dum da dah, dum da di da da dah, da dum da dah, dah, dum…
I just have to say that the slow middle section of Jupiter is WONDERFUL. The music, silly. At least, it inspired me to draw this picture, which is of Flairé with a wierd nose. His clothing is okay, though. And his hair is good. My art style is starting to get positively modern (as in, like my present day style)!
Try the French-Canadian group Norouet – that’ll get your blood dancing
My brother never ceases to make fun of this, but it’s actually a part of the kalma’eiric culture to dance on drums, occasionally throwing one’s primary instrument in the air. And her dress came out well, too.
Ancient sadness, and rumpled clothes
Flar, the king. He looks kind and wise. Perfect. He also looks kind of… off – his hair is good but his face shading is not – but oh well. And I was still experimenting with cloth. Not too good here, but improving slightly.
I can see you, and Link can hear you… O_O7
I was thinking about drawing in the middle of the night, and I imagined drawing this hair. So I got up and drew it. I don’t do that often. Didn’t turn out too well scanned. Then I drew Zela, using shading to see her profile in a 3/4 view. Then I drew Link’s ear because I felt like it. Yay for randomness!
The whole pile at once
This is Zela and Flaer’s complete family. From L-R, T-B (top to bottom), Flaer, the hero of the story, who has since had a slight makeover, Zela, the heroine of the story, Flairé, looking wierd and the narrator of at least part of it, Flaria, the token gracious female, Menad, who’s looking quite a beauty here despite the fact that he goes evil at some point, Marteth, who we met yesterday and who still has stupid hair and this time a stupid face as well, Bayn, wearing Griffin-land style clothes and looking a bit odd (jaw too straight), Gullac, winking roguishly at the viewer because that’s what he does, and finally, Mathaning, the naive innocente. This is the best picture of him.
So, finally, the whole of Zela’s family has been represented graphically at least once. Good!
grumpy in winter
This is Zela and Flaer’s fourth child and third son (counting Menad), Marteth. I now disagree violently with his hair. On the other hand, it’s well shaded (for me), and his character design on all other points looks pretty good. And that’s a dragon head on his sword hilt, not a dragon skull. And his expression is pretty good, although his chin is too sharp and/or protruding. Or something. It doesn’t look realistic somehow. Anyway, it’s a brand new (to you) character! How intriguing!
