ok, this is a tribute to Laurell K. Hamilton's faerie stories. it has the eyes of Maeve, Frost, Onilwyn, Sholto, Briac, Barinthus, Rhys, and the lead character Merry. let me just say that i hate how Maeve's eye turned out. its very freakin hard to draw lighting-kissed eyes, let me tell you! my favorites are Sholto, Rhys, and Barinthus. and yes, they are done in a typical anime style, and i know there's only one of each. its hard to draw a matching pair of eyes, especially with such detail.
i decided to do this because the way Hamilton describes the eyes in detail in her stories is just cool. i had to try and capture it on paper. i dont think i did too bad. i had to clean it up in paintshop pro tho because i dont know about you, but whenever i draw with pencil, i get lead smudges EVERYWHERE! i just cant help it. i have no idea how i did my Flirt pic without smudging it all over the place.
tell me what you think, and i urge anyone who has never read Laurell K. Hamilton's works to check them out, both the Merry Gentry Faerie series and the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. they are both wonderful!
done with colored pencil, mechanical pencil, metalic ink pens, and finished up in paintshop pro for clean up and the titles.
sholto is everyone's fav so far......i wish i could capture the true beauty of their eyes better tho, but it's hard and i'm not that talented, my talent lies in abstract mostly
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
