Artist's Comments

Update: Worked some more on the shadows for the characters. Darkened Klaus' beard a fraction and put a bit more life in his eyes. Darkened a great deal of the spy's lower part of her cloak so as to feel more in the background. Highlighted her inner garment.

Of other mention, I changed the category to a wallpaper, however it's still technically digital art. The only pencil on paper attributes went to the original line work of the character's faces and Klaus' anatomy. As for the background? Created with the tablet.

So what's to be said about the theme? Our sceptical Lord Klaus Lysandra, is secretly meeting with one of his family's loyal guardians of the realm. It's more past tense a year before the fiction's storyline takes place, so the relevance of the cloaked woman's identity will be told in later chapters to come. Here, she is about to receive a message tube describing new mission elements. That said, Klaus met her along a defensive line near Tearwen's northern inlet. Sadly it looks under guarded from years of neglect.

Actually the white bird is an unnamed creature of lore...
(In other words, I haven't thought of a name yet! >_<;)

Heh, how did you see Klaus as anyway? Mind you, I'll still be drawing anime styled sketches of him, so the looks between realism and it will vary. Despite my current trend, I still like anime with its facial expressions...

lol, fun fact: He normally is clean shaven, but when he's riding between destinations, he tends to forget, unless there is woman company that may nag him about it.

Don't ever say that. I've said the same, and it only leads to not realising the possibilities. I often look at other people's art, and think, "How the bloody hell did they do that?" So I find myself making it my business to one day surpass them. May take years of practice, but look at the stylings of Masamune Shirow. He is well known as an anime artistic genius, and look how long that took for him. Well over 30 years in the industry. I respect artists that come a long way from their humble beginnings. You would shudder if you saw my first attempts a couple of years back. Luckily, only hell will need to ice over for anyone to see, and the forums they were once known on are history.

You're off to a great start. The only advice I can give, is stick to your guns, and buy a tablet. You only have to look through my gallery to see where I only just started to improve dramactically. [link] <--- that was my first with it.

No prizes for guessing who I modelled her off from. =P

True, getting a tablet doesn't mean you become amazing good at colours straight away. It just gives you more control if you make any errors. An ol' friend of mine even said she found them cumbersome to use and inadequate. *shrugs* I got hooked to it like a fish to water though.

Scary? But I don't want to frighten anyone away. =P Heh, thanks. =D

Though I must admit for the next few artworks, I'm laying low for backgrounds. They drain me of time, and I really just want to draw a couple of normal anime illustrations for a change.
