Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I must give credit to prswirve for the pose.

Wow, I’ve been gone a while. It seems to be guest season around here, which has kept me busy. But now I’m gearing up for Nanowrimo, and my plan is to finally write about the Library of Dobesq. To that end, here’s a book-coverish illustration. It features Kasha, who I’ve posted a picture of before. She’s had a new hairstyle since then. The fish she’s feeding is called Grandfather and is alleged to be hundreds of years old and to have powers. Kasha’s not sure she believes that. What’s that in the window? Why, it’s a silhouette against a gradient background. Which seems to have become a habit of mine.

This is what I get for pussyfooting around, I guess … someone else gets my color ahead of me! Nice job.

It matches nicely, but the idea was to have a card randomly assigned to you. Otherwise everyone just wants to do face cards, aces, and joker. If you’d like me to assign you a random card, send me a PM.

I would recommend politely declining the invitation.

One thing about that family photo bugs me – according to my chart of adult to child proportions, the kids are roughly 10, 5, 6 and <1, based on height relative to their parents, but based on facial and head-to-body proportions, the younger three look like they should be older than that. What age are they meant to be?

Eldest to youngest, 8, 7, 6, and 1 1/2 or so. The eldest girl is going to grow up to be a very tall woman. The other two will be more average height. I never was completely satisfied with the youngest two children’s faces. For the boy I started with the child head on the first page of “Winners” and tried to match the proportions of the features to it, although I think the kid the head was drawn from is several years older.

Is that chart handily available online somewhere?

I have quite a few older and younger folks in my pictures. Not sure if this is the best way to manage it or not, but to avoid a lot of repetition of postings, I made a collage of the characters I’m submitting to this thread, and posting links to the pictures.

Here are some pictures I thought I had here already; either I forgot to upload them, or they were from the old forum.

I haven’t seen Defiance; I don’t watch much TV these days. (Too busy wasting my free time on the Internet.) I am, however, toying in my head with a novel about a guy who moves to St. Louis and meets an old lady there who’s very annoyed with his family for not keeping their promise to her family to practice magic together — and she’s annoyed with him personally for not being a woman, as this was a tradition that was supposed to be handed from mother to daughter. Anyway, she takes him on as an apprentice, and the Big Problem they have to deal with is that someone is trying to use the good ol’ Gateway to the West as a portal to bring some monstrosity into this world.

All this I came up with just so I could have an excuse to title a story ARCHMAGE.

If you want an easy way to show your character is from St. Louis, just stick ’em in front of the Gateway Arch.

For the contest, although I may have to actually write this story now.

I suspect this sort of thing is always happening when you’re not looking.

Totally listened to The Little Mermaid soundtrack while making this.

Some suggest that the quyren is an ancestor to both unicorns and dragons, but others dismiss this claim as heresy.
