Kirstril and Shlaes
WHAT IS THIS I CANNOT STOP ARTING
Here is a picture of Kirstril and Shlaes being sweethearts, because they are. XD No shading because it’s two in the morning here. Shading later!
Lamro in colour?
My first attempt at Livestreaming produced this. I still think the first picture of Lamro looks better, but hey, now the man has colours.
The anime eyes are practice for all those Dragon things at the bottom of my post.
Princess Kylyralessa
Holy cats, can it be? A serious pretty picture! Of a character I don’t do too often!
This is Kyla, the youngest princess of the Nunathoemlen (Unicornland) and her name means Golden-haired Gull.
So… also practicing costume complexity. As you can see this one is more complicated than I usually do. Though… you can’t see most of it because of her hair. : P In Perf Res today, too, I did a sketch of Menad (during break : P ) and he was wearing a super outfit. I might scan it.
Credits: Grass brush, tree brush, cloud brush. Also Aywren because I saw her doing sheer curtains the other day and that inspired Kyla’s shawl.

Lilahcol
Was taking a quick look at my draft for Book 1 of the Adhemlenei novels, and got the idea to do a quick picture of the Lilahcol, Flaer’s home city. This is the view from the southeast. I may have to adjust the world map, because on the world map that bend in the river is like 200 miles away or something. (I’m bad with distances.) Here it’s about 30 km, max. I think. Anyway, this is the capital city of the Lilemlen of the Adhemlenei, the Land of the Moon of the Four Kingdoms, and its surrounding villages and farmlands. Roughly.
Also I just realized that the main road actually enters the city via the other side of the city; this road is only the ‘back gate’ so to speak. It’s still a main gate, but the MAIN main gate is the other side and most of the roads go there. : P
Goo’ night.
Erd, King of the Nunathoemlen
This is Erd, the King of the Nunathoemlen (new-nah-thow-em-len), and the father of Muila and Layalin and Kyla. (What? I don’t have any better pictures of Kyla than that? D8 ) He looks rather young in this picture… he’s supposed to look a bit older. But we’ll say this is early on in his kingship, back when he was an idealistic young sprout. Continue reading

Hrulash and Garekhen
Quickie picture of Hrulash and his dragon buddy Garekhen for the Wayrift Dragonrider contest.
In the Adhemlenei, Hrulash is Tseo’s buddy, and the second-in-command of the Royal Guard; he is not that great at combat, actually, but he is the best knight for paperwork ever. But he is rather uptight and impatient, exceedingly serious, demanding of his underlings, and possessed of a good enough tactical skill that people can’t say he only got his position by being friends with Tseo. Garekhen, the dragon, is also quite serious and focused on doing things the right way, but finds an enormous simple pleasure in flying with his friend.
I kinda slopped this together in a couple hours. That’s why the anatomy is a complete fail, even though I did try, at least with Hrulash… A few things: Garekhen has lion-like paws and no back-spikes. So with the horns and the lack of fins, he looks quite different from Hoarwilk, the other golden dragon we’ve met so far.
Hrulash’s name means Riverwave, and Garekhen is a dragon-name so the kalmaei don’t know what it means.
Flairé Poster
Click for larger size! I spent a while working on this one, and it turned out… not too bad, I have to say. The sunset came out pretty much how I wanted it, and Flairé too. Yes, that means much too bright and colourful… whatever. Leslie… is much too small. But I fail at perspective anyway… Anyway, she liked it, and that’s what matters.
P.S. If I ever get a car, I am going to name it Norma.
