Artwork

This is my first concept art for Rowan. (I used to have a similar scar on my right cheek, not the left… it faded though. I got it by falling on my face on a dog collar…)

My first attempt at symbolic artwork. Rowan has prophetic dreams; I attempted to convey that here…

A drawing of Rowan concentrating deeply on a fire spell. Surprisingly, this one didn’t take nearly as long to complete as I feared. Special thanks to Jewel, without whom I would have forgotten the scar on Rowan’s cheek… oh, and if you were wondering, his bad leg is not physically deformed; it was just broken badly and then didn’t heal right. The bones are too weak, so he could very easily break it again, and the muscles are weak as well. Oh, and to those who were wondering… the double-clasp in the other drawing of Rowan is really part of his cloak, NOT his shirt. 😛

A colored-in version of “Focus,” using Paint… it’s called PAINt for a reason. 😛

Melilana, Queen of Ertraia, preparing a spell.

The colored version of the previous drawing. (Purple is Melilana’s favorite color–oh, okay, I just thought it suited her.)

Queen Melilana in her days as a Ranger.

Colored in… Melilana’s not wearing makeup in this one. 😛

This is not the best drawing, either… but at least it’s got Rowan in a kilt and moving and isn’t a total flop.

An early concept for the Ertraian arms. (Obviously, I didn’t select this one. I thought it looked too much like a Thunderbird. :-P)

The final design for the Ertraian arms.

A colored version of the Ertraian arms. (If anyone wants to slightly redesign it so it looks more elegant, please feel free. Just make sure to tell me about it so I can see it! 😉 ) Also, the blog icon now! 😀

Rowan in his new jacket outfit, pencil on sketch paper. (This is what my ink drawings look like before I ink the lines and erase the pencil.)

Pen on sketch paper, following pencil lines with the pencil erased (the final version!) Erin still needs to work on drawing boots.
