queensthiefHokay, folks, I'm back.
I've finished KoA, finally, and good lord, it was amazing. It was a thousand kinds of amazing. It was the kind of amazing that made me want to read it again, and that made me disappointed with the next book I picked up simply because the lack of amazing blend of tone, style, and secrecy.* I am very excited! It was a good book! :D
I've been thinking of fanart, but what's frustrating is, I have such certain images of a few characters (Eugenides, Attolia, Eddis), and none at all of certain others (Costis, Teleus), that it makes it very difficult to art for these folks.
I compromised for my first fanart. Gen, minus face.
Also at Deviantart!
Bit of a rush job - this couldn't taken 20 minutes - and the anatomy's a little wonky - I kind of want to draw him a little thinner, next time, like I imagine. Also, next time he'll be clothed.** But the basic concept is there.
(Need to research clothes of the time period, and also the kinds of gymnastics you can do with one hand.)
So yeah! There you have it. Hopefully I'll be back periodically with some other characters - also, faces. Faces are nice.
*This is not to say Francis Mary Hendry's Quest for a Maid is not good (my childhood!), only that it is ... not KoA.
**I have an excuse for the lack of shirt. That is because he is someplace where shirts are not necessary. Like in his rooms.Or Attolia's. Not because of gratuitous muscle-drawing. Totally not.
