Description Sketches from Diana Wynne Jones' Deep Secret. Maree and Nick both came out well, but Rupert always gives me a hard time because I know exactly how he ought to look, but I can never seem to get him on paper. Andrew looks suitably silly and distracted (and also kind of sexy) but also a bit too young.

Ah well. I will eventually work up to a full illustration from this fantastic novel, just not today.

Amazing! Nick and Maree are just perfect like that - especially Nick. I suppose Rupert would be hard to draw, wouldn't he? I mean, I'd find it hard to decide between the "prat" and the "distressed magid". And it would be terrifically difficult to get him perfect. Andrew looks good, too. You begin to see why everyone fell for him

I love your style. I also love the fact that you're making fantastic fanart of Diana Wynne Jones' books. She's my favoritest author ever.

Are you or someone you know writing this or is, for lack of better term, fanart for someone else's work?

And what medium is that? If that's the original color, it almost looks like pastels. If that's the case...*envy*

Fanart for a book. A good one too--Deep Secret by Diana Wynne Jones.

It's colored pencils, actually...with lots and lots of layering.

Omg, you're not dead! *Gaspfalloverouch* Cool sketches, I really like how your coloring style....and Andrew does look sexy. xD Is it really a good book though? I dunno, would you reccomend it? I'm low on reading material.

OMFG IT'S FANTASTIC. DWJ as a rule is awesome, but Deep Secret super-fucking-amazing-awesome. Well, as is the rest of her stuff, but still.

And heh, yeah, still alive. Just a little comatose.
