Aw!

But I don't think Haldamir's ever going to turn into a romance. I'll do one romanceable male in my modding career (Gavin) and one romanceable female (Lynneth). After that, friendship track, only. However, there is still BG2 Gavin just on the other side of the horizon...

And never say never. So who knows?

In the meantime, I'm kinda liking drawing various mod NPCs with the BioWare bunch. I think it's fun.

here is my addition. Aerie before she lost her wings and became a whinny little brat. I love drawing wings.

Whoa, Mene, that is your best piece, imo! But - if I can offer a little criticism - the wings should be bigger then that to endure her weight. But other than that - this is *exactly* how I imagined Aerie in BG2:).

Thank you. And I do agree that the wings could be larger. I realized that after I inked it already...

I actually use to never ink or color my pictures really, but these challanges have gotten me into doing it. I would do coloring if time allowed.

You do too! Get coloring.

You wouldn't want me to color it, you'd never see me. I'd need to kill myself for such an abomination.

[Menelanna]

with work and summer school Kellen...I don't have time to draw, ink, and color a picture in two weeks. But I am working on one coloring now. Which could be used for this later if the challange ever comes up.

[Kellen]

Well, okay. I'll just have to be content with it inked and all... the... other... pretties...

So many pretties. Piled high beyond the sky.

Vaarsuvius = male. Period.

Well, after lurking for nearly four years, I finally registered just so I could post a response, because as I was looking at all these beautiful submissions I found myself doodling on a nearby piece of paper...

That said, this is an inordinately grand lead-in to a work which rather pales beside all the talent on display here - so without further ado-

ZOMG!
That's awesome! Don't you dare say it pales in comparison to anything!
The pose is definitely Aerieish, and the overall look too, seriously, very good!

Aww, thanks.

Though I have to say, one of the reasons I came up with the pose was so I wouldn't have to draw her hands. I cannot draw a decent hand to save my life.

[Kaeloree]

Wow, Clary, that's gorgeous! You have a lovely style, very simple and elegant. I can't wait to see more of your work!

Particularly love her hair decorations and the dress... just beautiful!

[Ilmatar]

Yay! Another one recruited to SHS via Fanart Challenges! Welcome to Spellhold, thank you for finally joining us and participating in the Challenge, Clary! Your Aerie is indeed cute and very much like her! I hope we'll see more of your "doodlings" soon!

[Alatariel]

It's very pretty, Clary! Don't you dare say otherwise! I love the simple lines and ff-ish style... And welcome to SHS!

[Menelanna]

i like it alot Clary! And welcome to SHS. looks like us regular spammers have someone new to torment.

[Kellen]

Mene, you will not scare away the pretty new artist. Um, drawer of pretty things. I don't know about looks.

Yep, Kellen the flirt.

Welcome to Clary, and a good job to everyone who's been posting so far. I've always liked Aerie. Not as much as Jaheira(whom I love), but she'd be my second romance.

[Clary]

My goodness, if I'd known I'd get such a warm welcome I would have delurked ages ago Thanks all for the compliments (however undeserved)!

As for looks, I do actually have a self-portrait, in which you can see that I'm actually a two-inch-tall gremlin who likes to tote around golf pencils...

[Kellen]

Aw, but a cute 2" pencil-totin' gremlin.

Those kinds of drawings hit that warm fuzzy spot right here.

Huzzah to other new people! Howdy Clary!

[vilkacis]

ANNNND it looks like I still have time to spam this topic one last time.



And now I have posted...

*counts*

...8 different versions of four total entries? Argh. If that's not some kind of record, I don't know what is. (Am I being annoying productive or what?)

Huh, it says "Friday 30th June" in the first post. Today is Friday, 29th June. Silly me! Terribly sorry about that - someone totally should have kicked me for it and make me fix it. Anyway, the challenge closes now, so all entries before this post will be counted to the stats. Aerie drawings are more than welcome after this post too, so please don't be shy!

Challenge 12 has been opened for you, so move over there!

On a side note, I think it's fun asking people what gender they think Vaarsuvius from OOTS is. I found that guys usually answer "female", while girls (including me) seem to think he's male. Of course, there's always exceptions. And in both cases we can't really explain why we have that opinion. There must be something that gives the impression, but neither party can ever put their finger on it.

I tend to lean slightly towards "him" being male, personally. (It's like, 50% male, 40% female, and 10% either "neither", "both" or "just plain WTF???"...)


Well, since my attempts at realism don't seem to work all that well, here's a cheesy little anime Aerie with a cheesy little anime... wing thingy. And stuff?



...I dunno. She might still look too much like Legolas.

(No, I don't spam these topics. It... only looks that way! Honest!)

Heh, I still think he is definitely, 100% male. In an elven kind of way. And of course, there's also about 32% of "Whiskey Tango Foxtrott?!" in there. (Yes, I know that's more than 100%. It's on a different scale, you see, I won't tell you which one, though.


No, I have no idea what I'm actually talking about right now. I'm making this up as I go along.




...


Still here? Move along, already!)

Make up your mind, Vilkacis, boobs or wings

Pretty! I like the wings, they look a bit mechanical. I always had a thing for mechanical, bladed wings. No wonder I like the Steelwings in Tamora Pierce's Tortall books. Well, I like their wings. The Steelwings themselves are rather nasty. And I much prefer the Crows (and Nawat. Nawat is *GREAT*! Crow mean for the win!) in her "Trickster" books from the Tortall universe ("Trickster's Choice" and "Trickster's Queen".). Actually, I always love Crows, and Corvids. They're so beautiful, and the smartest birds you'll ever find. I love them.


Anyway. I like the wings.

here is my addition. Aerie before she lost her wings and became a whinny little brat. I love drawing wings.

I agree, this is your best piece so far. Your style fits Aerie perfectly. And she looks much more confident than in the game. It's great!

I seem to always end up drawing wings. Keck, my little Dragon baby Iggy has feathered wings! I don't know why, but I always end up drawing feathered wings, although I know full well that I just can't draw them very well. Oh well.

Vaarsuvius = male. Period.

Seconding this liek tewtally.

And I third this, like, consummately!

Heh, I just wanted to say, it seems the Art challenge draws all people to register (The pun was not intended, though I still like it).

Oh, and your style too works perfectly with Aerie. I love how you draw, and it looks and feels absolutely beautiful.

Aww, man. I missed it just by a few hours? It's still Friday the 29th here!


Oh well. Here's my Aerie, as drawn a few days ago. It's only a five minute sketch (What's this? Not a chibi? And not a simplified comicy style either? Who are you, and what have you done with the real Jazhara?! ) I might colour it one day, but I don't have the nerve right now.
