It's finally September. Oi.
So, this is Gabriel and Sparrow, two of my characters from a story my friend and I roleplay. Sparrow was killed shortly after the two were married, and even though he isn't supposed to dream (it's a flaw of his race), this is one of his dreams.
This painting was inspired by this reference picture from linzstock.

Runic TunicTotal Posts: 60Sep 2, 2007 7:53 pmMan this is sweet! It's a really off-beat reference, but did you ever play Riven (the sequel to Myst)? In that game there's these dagger things in the ground and this made me think of that game. Really great atmosphere, but what are those cube things? --- Sorrow is lightened by being brought out openly. -The Saga of Sigurd the Crusader

Inqy (Reply)Total Posts: 231Sep 3, 2007 9:20 amHah, no I never played that. They were going to be buildings if I'd allowed myself to work on them longer. ^^; But I have to finish my homework now, so I have to pretend this is done. x_x --- Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

Orange-for-AnguishTotal Posts: 7Sep 9, 2007 5:19 pmWow, holy freaking huge ears ^___^! -- but seriously, this picture rocks. I had a role playing character once named sparrow ('cept it was a male... and a half-elf with awesome red hair ^-^) I was gonna paint a picture of him, but my painting skills are teh suck. I have a half-finished piece of crap lying around somewhere *laugh* --- Orange is for Anguish, Blue for Insanity ...I'll outlast Van Dorn |

Inqy (Reply)Total Posts: 231Sep 10, 2007 8:18 amHaha, thank you so much! This is my own race, but yes, you could say that it's based off a dark elf / drow sort of thing. ^^ Drow usually have white hair, though. I have pictures of those, too, somewhere... Now I have to dig them up. xD --- Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. (Iris Murdoch) |

songosan123Total Posts: 6Sep 16, 2007 3:55 pmThe atmosphere of this peice is rather amazing, it has alot of emotion to it, almost like a final goodbye of someone that person loved. I like how she is fading away yet he is still there. |
