Oh, that's so lovely
Before I enlarged it, I was like "Huh, did she (I'm assuming you're a she, sorry if I'm wrong!) do it the wrong size, or over-enlarge tiny stock images or something?" 'cause I thought it was really pixelated. But I was so wrong! This is genuinely so ... so ... darling! I think you've captured all of them perfectly. Sandry twirling around happily, Briar looking in at people (well, Sandry, but I'm imagining that we're looking at them from a room, so he's looking at all the people in there too) but keeping out of the way, Tris totally just enjoying the night and the sky and the weather (and probably hoping for rain), and Daja looking at the moon and thinking about her past or her future or her friends (she always seems to have pretty deep thoughts, anyway)!
And the fuzzy feel makes it sort of glow Weirdly, I kind of feel like I'm looking at them through a scrying glass or something. Or it's a memory - you know how with memories, it's the feel of the time (happiness, comradeship, excitement here) rather than the exact details that stay with you? Like, maybe, we're Lark years in the future or something, and she's looking back on what it was like when they were all together growing up!
...Oops. Really long comment. Summary: I love it!

N'awh! Thanks you so much!
And I don't mind the really long comment, it made my day!
You pretty much have it spot on, too. I was trying to make it kind of like a frozen moment in time, a happy memory sort of thing.
And it's wonderful that you've read the books! (Well, I assume you have from your comment. Either you've read them or you made an extremely good guess as to the character's personalities and backgrounds. )

No problem!
You totally got that feeling! And the 'frozen moment' thing is captured especially with Sandry, I think, because she's mid-movement - it's not like they all posed in a tableau or something
And yes, I've read the books! I read them years and years ago along with the rest of TP's books, and she's been my favourite author ever since. It must have been more than a decade by now, which just makes me feel old... Although it would be kind of cool if I could say I just guessed everything

Tamora Pierce has been my favourite author for about three years now. Wow, it seems longer than that!
And thanks so much for the vote in the contest!

No problem! Like I said, it was tough voting between you two, and both of you deserve to win! I'm looking forward to doing prize art for both of you now ...
Aww, I can't believe you've known about her for less time than me and I've done about TWO pieces of fanart for her in all that time. Right. I'm making this my new project

First order of the day is definitely Niko. 'Cause he is now being claimed as MINE. Oh, Niko.
And before you ask, the Niko in my head is, like, SIGNIFICANTLY younger than the one in the books. I missed the age description the first time and just couldn't change my original image afterwards...

Lol! I was thinking that it was a little odd, him being.. well, old, and all that!
I'm a Briar fan, but then again, everyone seems to be

LAWL. I know, Whisper said the same thing (well, in different words, but whatever)! I can't help my misbehaving imagination!
True, everyone likes Briar, but I can honestly say that I never liked him in a fancying sort of way. He's definitely a really good friend though

Briar was actually one of my first fictional character crushes (I sound seriously sad, but we all have them ), so he holds a special place in my heart

Aww, that's so CUTE! And yes, we all have them. I HAVE SO MANY. SERIOUSLY.
Niko, for instance.
And yes, it's like I totally adore Raoul (from the Tortall series) because he was the first one I fell in love with. Oh. What a darling.

DeathByFeather In reply to moosewingz [2011-02-11 04:15:15 +0000 UTC]
Oh my gawd, yes. Raoul is simply scrumptious! He's so sweet. I like George too, but not as much. And I love Neal from the Kel series, he's so adorably sarcastic

moosewingz In reply to DeathByFeather [2011-02-11 09:51:53 +0000 UTC]
Raoul is totally MINE! Grr! *gets territorial* But yes, he is so wonderfully and marvellously delightful! He's laidback, and funny, and REALLY TALL, and brave and heroic and just such a darling, and nice to Kel because he genuinely doesn't care that she's a girl when she's as good as the boys, and he's caring and N'AWWWWWWWW! *flails in joy*
Oh, George is lovely too though, but like you say, not as much. *hides from George* Sorry, dear.
AND NEAL. WHAT A BABE. Although I love Dom too, and him and Neal have some AMAZING interactions - really funny but also so adorable and family-like. AND WHEN THEY HUG. I totally died of the squee.

GAHHH! I typed out a really long reply to this... and then my computer decided to quit internet explorer!
Long story short:
Raoul= perfect
Kel Books have the most amazing adorable guys in them, more than all of TP's other books
Neal and Dom= *GLOMP*
Dom/Kel= waaaaaay better than Cleon/Kel
And I also like Rosto, from the Beka series. Just for being so badass

Oh fun! I love the filter you used, it gives the whole thing a dreamy stained glass feel! one of those...frozen moments in time when you're perfectly happy, a memory you'll lock away for unhappy times
