 It seems like I only ever want to draw fanart when I don't have the books with me for reference. As a result, I completely made up Laec and also what Gen is wearing. I always picture him in yellow. :B


Also here it is flipped, because I like it better that way, although it means his hooky is on the wrong arm. 

PS: You will probably see twenty million more attempts at this, because although this looks kind of cool it's not how I pictured it. C: Ditto for when Gen nails Teleus, which I'll give you guys later this week maybe, hopefully.

EDIT: Oh here, have some rough Teleus anyway. Big one's from a drawing in which I only liked Teleus, except that he had midget legs which I have DISCREETLY CROPPED OUT so you couldn't see. His face is good and Teleus-y though. And then there are some of my thumbnails, which are always more actiony than the final thing. C:

Teleus is balled up in pain up near the top left there, heehee. I'll let you guys figure out the others.

Gen wins! These are good, so I'll be curious to see what else you're able to come up with. ^_~

Same here, when I paint. Only I can't erase oils, so I have to keep adding new layers where I THINK the original line was...

Good golly! I love your visions of the characters and the soft shading here. You have a nice distinctive style ♥ I could see a long series of illustrations like this interspersed throughout the book and they'd fit. I look forward to seeing twenty million more attempts ♥

I really like the phrase good golly and all variants involving golly, is why. Anyway, the snail is from [livejournal.com profile] jillicons! A totally wonderful icon journal very worth checking out.

I can almost feel the motion. It's a good action shot.

i LOVE Laecdomon's facial expression. It is PERFECT. Gen's hoooky arm confuses me a little bit--I had trouble following the lines around it--but you really captured the motion of the scene, and also, that FACE. Ah-hahahahahahahaha.

you know i love it when you bring us artssssssss

awh..yeah, that is one spiffy boot.
xD



hooky arm: I'm sure Gen pretends it isn't there, too...lol

Personally, I'm a fan of Gen's left boot. That's EXACTLY what sneaky thief boots should look like. =)

So he's trying to keep that hook from harming his opponent? I'd call him considerate if he wasn't simultaneously knocking the wind out of the dude with a wooden hilt...

Would the hooky arm blend in with the shirt less if it were on his other side? Like, this position, except you drawing it so it would look cool:

I don't pretend to know much (read: anything) about drawing action, though, so just ignore me if I'm completely off base.

Nice job!

These are great! You really conveyed the motion well; I think it has something to do with the shadows, but Idk, because I are ignorant of the artsy stuffs. Here's what I do know: I LUFF THESE AND I WANTS MORES!!!!!!!

I love boots too! Although I suck at drawing them. :)

Great action and force in there, and I love the intensity of Gen's expression.

I love it! the action and expressions are great. I think I need an icon of Lacedomon's eye. It's just so... O_O

Great job!!!

I wish I still had animation software. Because I am tempted to make a seizure inducing animation flipping between the two versions. >>;

I seriously went "Oooof" when I saw the first two, lol. Also, I'm strange or something, but I like the pencil sketches more than the colored completed ones. I love Teleus. Awesome job!

I love your coloring and your style! It goes really well with the style of the books, somehow. Great job!

Ooh, these are great! I love getting visuals for some of the books' best scenes (and this one definitely counts!), so thank you!

My favorite part about this is actually the sweep of Gen's lax arm. It creates much more exaggeration to the movement. Also, the hook creates a nice focal point for those who might not know who these two are. (Aw, man he IS gettin' pwned... By a guy who has one hand??)

OH WOW, IT'S TELEUS! Just as I picture him!

And your pwned one is just flat out awesome. I love how Laecdomon is flying off, and your shadows are amazing. And I look forward to more. :)
