Artist's Comments

Ahahah... haha :faint: Remember this one? Here's the sketch: [link] Ever since I drew that picture I've been trying to colour it, and I probably started all over about four times. It would be interesting to know how many hours total I've spent on this piece x'D

Anyway, here it is. Better than ever! :dance:
I hope you'll like it. Full-view is recommended^^

Rhodry, Salamander and Devaberiel from Katharine Kerr's Deverry books.

What first stikes me when I look at Deverry cycle is the wonderful use of colors, as a pretty wide range are used but they all blend in very well together. I like that the background is not a flat color at all, but shifting in tones and with textures wich gives it a more real and old feel.

The dark background tones also makes the blonde front characters stand out, and the person with dark hair melt in a bit with the background, looking cool and mysterious! Another subtle detail in the background that I think is very important is the castle. It helps the picture telling the setting of the characters, of course also with the clothing and dragons.

The techniqal skill and the feeling for colors that Shideh has makes this a wonderful picture to look at. I haven't read the book that these characters are from, but I think it wouldn't look wrong at all as a cover for it!

It looks awesome!
You did really well with adapting it to your current style :D

I just love the hair *__* And the depth that you manage to get when you colour their faces and such.
My favourite part is probably the details on the clothes though. You are so good at making those patterns and they're just jawdroppingly beautiful :D

The flowers are gorgeous too :D

Nice to see it finised!
You did so well! :hug:

Whoa, this picture is great! :heart: Now I wanna re-read those books... :D
