I was going to do a meme, but I need a bit more time to draw some other expressions. The other picture I'm working on is going to take longer than I expected and I have been trying to make wednesday my big upload day!
So since the pic is only half finished here is the many facial expressions Justin makes, although there are more!
asked me to show Justin as a child so I added an old sketch I did. I am working on a family picture where he will be 10 years old or so.
Silver Dolphins Saga Novel series-First three books are medieval settings.
Please look at my journal for the rough story summary and character lists. I would also like details on which characters are liked and what you would like to see. Thanks!!! fav.me/d6qwfe2

HAHA yes!
Young Justin: "Pray a bit but I will forgive you Notsun."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
WHAAA DAWW!! *Hugs some more, but loosens. I find it very difficult though to accomplish.*
You even spoke royal as a little one!! I suppose that makes sense but, you are just so adorable!
(Agar came about at 10 years old right? He was five? I reviewed your "A New Family and Home" pic. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Young Justin: "Of course, 'tis I was taught." *laughs nervously*
When Justin was 10 Agar was 5 yes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. I suppose I have some silly accent but I just don't know because, I speak it.
*Lets go of poor, adorable Justin.*
Your accent is very formal and neat though. If I could talk like that....
Heh I would play games with you but I don't know if I am allowed to tickle a little Prince or not. *Winks.*
(YUS... )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Tickle? Pray no." Waves his hands in front of him to ward you off. "Anything else perhaps. I do enjoying hiding, or floating around! I can make us both float!" Hands Notsun a belt.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Floating hmm? I always wanted to show gravity who is boss.
*Puts it on and stands ready.*
READY FOR TAKEOFF! Or you know, floating when you like.
*Stares at Justin's adorable and tiny feathers.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"All right Notsun!" Justin lifts them both off the ground with his magic moving them both around the room. "Tis fun yes?" He asked enthusiastically.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very!! Wait, how often do you do this? Are you allowed?! I don't know how well magic and royalty mix! Last movi-... show I saw with a similar scenario, it ended pretty badly for a while.
*Flies around a little bit, flipping because I don't know how to control my airborne self very well.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Not really allowed, but 'tis fun."
"Justin! What have I told you about doing things like this?" Anelda scolded.
"Oh mother!" He placed Notsun and himself down and hung his head. "I am sorry mother."
"Oh Justin I just don't want to see you hurt." She hugged him tightly then looked at Notsun. "Pray who is this?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Is put down and I look over and see Justin's mother and smiles. Until she inquires him.*
OH? Uhh... well you could say a friend of the good and young prince but, wait am I allowed here?
*Makes another small grin but I give a glance to Justin.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"'Tis Notsun mother." Justin said gesturing to you.
"Ah, the Nostun. A pleasure to meet you."
"'Twas not his fault mother! 'Twas my idea to float around."
"I thank you for your honesty Justin." Anelda said with a smile. "Well as long as no instigating of magic use occurs within the castle ground then you may be here. However Justin, you know if you father found out about this he would be more cross then I."
"Yes Mother. I promise no more indoors."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A honor Queen (?! ) Anelda.
*I bow and listen in.*
I did instigate it, but I will do it no longer. Perhaps outside if the Prince is allowed. I am sorry for causing trouble.
*I smile at the young prince Justin.*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(of course its queen XD)
Justin stared at Notsun, shook his head and sighed.
"You did? I pray that does not reoccur! Outside far from the castle and village. These are the rules and he knows that." She said looking down at Justin. "Safer for everyone that way. However we don't want you over exerting yourself either Justin."
"Yes mother."
"Very well then. I will let you two talk some more then." Bows her head and turns to leave. Before she does she whispered to the guards at the door. One guard entered the room to keep watch.
Justin groaned, "Now I must be watched. 'twas still fun whilst it lasted."

Aww but we can still have SOME sort of fun now, right? Even if it is supervised.

Or are you afraid I will put you in more trouble, Prince?

Bahahahaha!!! Justin being silly!?! Oh dear lords! Thats epic! XDDDDD
Though my heart melted after seeing Justin as a child <3 <3 Dawwww!!!! I was going to say he deserves a cookie but thats sweet...um how about meatballs? LOL
How did I not see this before?! Gods XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HAHA that picture was fun to draw!
DAWWW! Yes meatballs will work!
It was a year ago I have ALOT of old stuff! IN my gallery the first folder takes you to sub folders of each character. Just go through one at at time lol!

Justin's consistently looked good throughout the years.
I'm still trying to find a consistent way to draw my characters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! It is tough to do but I feel good about them now.
I just kept drawing until I found the looks I liked best.
Although snout size changed a lot, and his height was the worst to manage! =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, snout size and height are my two main problems.
Lately I've tried to go by rules-of-thumb, like "Scratch is taller than Molly, Rose is taller than Scratch..."
And snout size... I'm still deciding what to do. I think facial expressions would be easier if the muzzles were shorter, but I also think longer muzzles are more original.
I sorta compromised by making the snouts look longer when viewing the characters from the side; and shorter-looking muzzles when looking straight at them... but I'm not sure if I like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol!
Yeah muzzles are tough too. I go by look first.
There are some other artists that have that figured out already. I love this one. fav.me/d6w6ywh
Yea have to play with that a bit. A lot of people do that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's a good ref!
I used to do a lot of practice doodles, which helped me out a lot. I should practice again, especially since I plan to start my comic up again soon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is isn't it!
Yes good idea! I seriously need to sit down and work on expressions as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I really do like them though just a friendly note, some expressions do seem to change quite a bit, i guess if your character is those types that have "solid" face, as in not much being able to move different parts of face to express different emotions? I do like this still its a great set!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I have just recently learned how to make this kind of character expressive. I have to do more like I just did with Talos. 
Thank you though, because you are right!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I do like my characters to be expressive. He can move his brow to make some expressions. This is a mix of different years and I would love to redo some to make them look proper.

Nice job!
I love that logo you put in your drawings.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!!!
I made that logo in blender 3D!
It is part of a bigger logo for the series. The other part is a construct of my magic system and how it works, so it is a secret until I get release date.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome!
I've fooled around with blender before.
Gahh more secrets
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nice! Blender was intimidating to me for a while but I had goals that kept me focused!
I know I do hate keeping secrets!! To many original ideas or plot points though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't really have a need for blender at the time, so I didn't get too in depth with it.
Ah, it's okay. I understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see! I found it highly useful in making a model of Justin to help with posing in scenes! That was frustrating me to no end!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Awesome! You know, I've never done the different facial expressions for any of my characters. Probably something I should do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!!!
Yes do it! A good way to get to know them! There is a meme floating around that challenges you further still. Body language! I'm going to work on that at some point! I t well help when I go to do the comic again!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted to do the Dragon Age Meme, but I couldn't even draw the character well enough so I didn't do it. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OOO dragon age
Awww, well I'm sure you would be able to now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I adore Dragon Age. I'm so excited for Inquisition. It's so difficult to wait! I want to see Varric again! I love that dwarf!
I dunno, I tried the meme a few months ago XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That game is awesome! I made the mistake of being and elf and a mage in the first one. Lordy was I hated, hurt, and stomped on! I kicked ass though! Battle mage! Ah it was fun!
Second one I regret my options and would like to go back and pick Zevran. Sebastian was lame!!!! lol
Lol yes Varric is awesome!
Ah I c!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like the city elf origin in the original. I chose Zevran the first time around. Then the second time I went with Alistair so I could do a quest for him in DA2. Even though I knew he'd screw you over, it didn't make it any better when he said "I love you for you, I won't ever leave" then when you have to marry him off to Anora and he's like "Well I'm King now, so screw you. What I said before doesn't matter." It still hurts man >.<
Actually in the first one I spared Loghain, so he got all butthurt and left the group. Then I had Loghain sleep with Morrigan XD Every guy I've talked to gets super upset that I did that lol.
I loved the characters and main story of DA2 better than the original. But I seem to be the only one. I never got Sebastian in DA2 because I haven't gotten the dlc's for that one.
Best characters in DA
Best characters in DA2: Anders, Isabella, Varric, and Fenris. And it took me a while to like Fenris. Merrill always ends up hating me >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YES! I went with Allistair the first time >.> bugger!!!
LOL that's funny!!!
Yeah DA2 was awesome!
Ah Fenris! That is who I meant!! Yeah sebastian was a decent character but the romance plot sucked big time!
It took me awhile to like him too.
LOL same here! My husband went with Merrill when he played.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like Merrill, but she's sooo stupid when it comes to life choices. "Oh, everyone hates me" <.< Maybe that's because you consort with demons and use blood magic. "No, they just don't understand" Yes, they don't understand, but you're not helping the case by using magic that is socially looked down upon and makes you an easier target for demonic forces. Idiot. -_- I usually end up telling her to knock it off and then she hates me.
Fenris comes off as a dick when you first meet him, and he is, but trying to get on his good side and actually getting there, he turns out to just be a beaten dog. He's ready to bare his fangs at anyone he deems a threat, and you have to get past that before you're all like "Awe! You're not a big ol meany, you've just had it rough"...Even if he did bring it on himself and since his sister tricked him, I'd say you can take that with a grain of salt.
I hear Sebastian is a tough character, because you can't romance any of the other characters. I was a slut in DA2. I got with Isabella, Anders, and Fenris. I would have gone with Merrill, but like I said, she hates me. Varric and the Arishok weren't options. Too bad, those two are my most favorite. >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL yes she is!
Ah ic! Yeah as I watched his story line I was like oh should of gave him a chance lol.
Yeah that and he was to devoted to the faith! -_-
LOL that is funny! I'm sure that was an entertaining play through!
Yea I agree, darn!
