Description
~ Prom: Pool Party ~In honour of , to celebrate graduating Round 9 and all the new acquaintances he's made, Eyolf is throwing a party! He's been bragging so much about his own "loveliest little island on the South-West coast" that he had to invite his new friends there at a "pool party" (in his time). The dress-code is... very typical of Eyolf, as you can see!
's Captain Jace Pyrs is making a barbecue, and everyone is impatiently waiting for the result of his meticulous grilling! I'm sure he's preparing some of those tasty tubers growing in his country and prepared them. (I've a private notion he's got his sight set on a certain guest - I won't say who he is, but Eyolf noticed the interest and is certainly going to try and hook them up - he isn't Dr. Love for nothing!
He couldn't have done the job without the contribution of 's Gerda, who's making the fire "portable", so the food isn't at risk to get cold. She has prepared one of her famous berry treats, a pie that everybody is eager to taste. These two are getting along pretty well and, for now at least, staying away from the loud croud. Gerda thinks the weather is quite warm ^^
's Chris is casually playing ball with 's Minne who can manipulate the wind to make sure it doesn't stray too far. Her magic would be very appreciated among the sea-faring Norse.
's Makayla and 's Deimos are in charge of the music, and everyone is singing along. 's Niyeoth is having some "old" mead (we know she appreciates relics xD), although she would have a much better discussing with the likes of Yngvar or Aidan than with Eyolf otherwise, but she can't not enjoy the chilled atmosphere.
Eyolf Solhrafn himself is delighted and so proud to be surrounded by so many beautiful and awesome people. (I'm sure he invited Yngvar as well - especially since it would be his second Prom in the Training - but, knowing Yngvar, he probably said it was terrible enough the first time and he couldn't be bothered to come to another frivolous and tedious party.
Eyolf is now announcing the arrival of The King, who is none other than 's Sam Ramey! Not very proud of his own physique, Sam was reluctant to honour the dress-code. But - after a few cups of mead, a large dose of Eyolf's "Philosophy of Love" and experiencing the chilled atmosphere - Sam has renounced all inhibitions and is now prancing around in his kingly mantle and no one can stop him!
________________________________________________
Even though the island is supposed to be Eyolf's own (so there's no one but some servants around), I tried to keep non-medieval things to a minimum so as not to give Eyolf's servants a heart attack. But I made an exception for Makayla's guitar, Deimos' glasses, and that weird string of cloth around Sam's neck. I mean, there's fireballs and wind magic around, some modern-ish gadgets can't hurt!
Also, it was really fun drawing nudity while coming up with lots of ways to "censor" it
Reference for the first image: Pool Party and various refs for everything else.
This was so much fun! Thank you everyone for the awesome round

I'm sorry it took me so long to finally comment on this, but I really wanted to take my time for it! :'D
You created an absolutely awesome Prom Task - there's so much going on, and there's so many featured characters, too! Each time I look at this picture, I cannot help but smile; each panel has got such a sense of easygoing joy and fun going on! The way you used watercolors to create a summery, playful vibe that matches the atmosphere of the scenes is really nice, and I cannot help but be impressed by the way you managed to sensor actual nudity!
It really is a party befitting of Eyolf, who seems to excel at getting people to enjoy themselves outside their comfort zones and without their clothes on.
You captured every character well, from their recognizable appearances to their personalities - and thank you for including Minne too! She absolutely loves swimming and playing games, more so when it involves using some magic in the company of fun people like Chris. (That being said, I bet she'd find Eyolf a fun person to talk to as well, considering he's quite free-spirited ^^. Captain Jace, however, she'd steer away from - no more law-abiding military company for her ). Also, congrats to King Sam, who finally gets the recognition he craved!
More importantly, thank you for your engaging contribution to the OC-T with Eyolf (who was one of my favorites this round) as well as as a part of Team Yellow. Our (short :')) commentary talks are much appreciated, and I had a lot of fun sharing some insights on our stories. (I'm sorry for delaying the Wish task though! Hope you didn't mind the delay too much!)

Gosh, I apologize for not answering this delightful comment for such a long time, no excuse is good enough for this!
Thank you! I think it's the most complex Prom piece I ever did, so thanks to my recent trials with watercolours I was able to make something that was relatively quick to do but doesn't look that bad or very rushed, which also meant including more characters. I'm so glad you like the mood and how the characters turned out, and even more so that you enjoy my depiction of Minne - thank you very much for this! I liked coming up with the idea of a party thrown by Eyolf, and I especially had a lot of fun censoring the nudity, as you can imagine
It's great that Minne would enjoy herself and get along great with everyone (haha not so much with Captain Pyrs, that's totally understandable XD) since they're all fun and relaxed people. She, Gerda and Eyolf would have quite a bit to share about magic (even if Eyolf's magic is not as spectacular) and she'd certainly have geeky things to talk about with Niyeoth, wouldn't she?
Thank you so much, I'm glad and honoured you think so! It's been the same for me It's no problem, certainly, I was late with it myself ^^

Amazing work on this one, I love it so much! You provided the censoring so cleverly, the story behind each snippet sounds like so much fun and they seem to have amazing time
It's a brave idea to convince so many characters to join a nude beach party, and most certainly something fresh and original. It makes a whole lot of sense for such a liberal and openminded character as Eyolf to organize this sort of stuff. Niya is definitely one of the most comfortable nudists out there, thank you so much for inviting her!
I love how you drew her hair and her overall expression, I'm damn sure she enjoys the mead
as well as the water itself, she loves pool parties! I think she would consider Eyolf fun in a moderate dosage, you're spot on that she would enjoy Yngvar and Aidan a bit more.
Wonderful drawing with a glorious story! Thanks once again for drawing Niya with such a lovely bunch of characters

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you find the idea funny and fresh
Eyolf is in his element, and he's happy to have found such fun friends in the training! Haha that's good to know - I don't really know what common interests and speaking subjects he and Niya would have in a different context, but I hope the party is fun enough to make them overlook that ^^
It's been a pleasure drawing Niya, and I thank her for accepting the invitation

HelevornArt In reply to Akaszik [2018-12-18 05:05:16 +0000 UTC]
Thanks so much
Haha I think it has to do with feeling so comfortable in your own body that you forget you are naked. It's not about lust, like his critics would say, but rather about something intimate that people share in order to connect better. I don't know if it actually works, but his parties are usually successful xD (Also, there's no other way to bathe in his time and place but in the nude, so he doesn't think it's such a big deal anyway)

Tete-DePunk [2018-12-14 00:36:29 +0000 UTC]
WOWOW!!!! This is just beyond AWESOME, Helevorn!
You drew three panels, all so wonderfully detailed and composed, just one panel would be awesome on its own! So this is three times the awesomeness here!
Your ways of "censoring" everyone's nudity is just beyond remarkably clever- it's wit itself, and and it feels natural, yet conceals what needed to be concealed on dA.
Utterly fantastic and generous of Eyolf to invite the Prom guests to his island- everyone is having such a smashing time, and Eyolf is perhaps the best and most charismatic host in the history of proms!
Your work with watercolor blends and lights up so beautifully with the island's landscape/waterscape, and it really brings out everyone features so vividly!
Loving how Sam is brimming with gusto and confidence as he dons on the fur-trimmed cloak and crowns himself king! Eyolf's philosophy of love really works wonders! :Wow:
Deimos and Makayla embody a certain elegance and style, esp Deimos rocking those locks and shades like a cool 80's star! And Eyolf looks charismatic as ever, and Niyeoth looks to be content among the merry crowd!
Last but not least, Minne and Chris look to be having so much fun- impressive perspective captured here! And gosh! Golly!
Captain Pyrs would totally don on an apron for safety and be in charge of cooking.
AWWW! It's so sweet and alive how you did Gerda! She would feel totally fine with nudity, and would gladly conjure a floating fire to keep the food piping hot, and of course bring a treat for everyone to enjoy!
She looks so alive, so earthy in your style! I love the shape of her face, her eyes, and her hair! And it's really clever how you "censored" her, yet manage to show her body type figure.
(In the future, would be you open to creating a commission of Gerda? I'd gladly agree on any price you set. Do you take commissions?)

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed comment! And please forgive the late reply.
I'm happy you like my depiction of Gerda, your words of appreciation means a lot! And I'm especially relieved that you like the idea of the nude party and that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable here - I was worried she wouldn't enjoy this, since I hadn't asked for your opinion in advance (I wanted it to be a sort of a surprise, and I felt asking for permission would ruin that, so I took the risk )
I'm also glad that you like my depiction of the rest of the characters. I enjoyed trying something different in terms of style and perspective from my usual drawings, and I loved drawing this merry crowd (and Eyolf is really proud to be having fun with such awesome and beautiful people ^^)
And wow - thank you for the proposition of illustrating Gerda!! I hadn't thought about taking commissions before, but I would gladly illustrate Gerda (I absolutely love her design)! I'll note you with the details.

charcoalfeather [2018-12-13 17:17:15 +0000 UTC]
Wow, thank you so much for making Sam the Prom KING!!! I like how you made it sort of obvious he's not totally confident about his body image by making him turned slightly around, and the audience is unable to see his face. It's also awesome to see Gerda here again, as well, this time less shy than in my picture and having brought some of her delicious food for everyone else to enjoy!
It's very nice to see Eyolf announcing Sam as the King - that just really shows what kind of friendship they'd have - despite Eyolf probably finding Sam a bit too immature at times, he genuinely supports him and wants him to feel good about himself (even when many people think Sam's absolutely deluded!). It's nice to see Sam let go of his insecurities and inhibitions and get drunk on Eyolf's philosophy - literally! Prepare for his randomness to hike up even more...

HelevornArt In reply to charcoalfeather [2018-12-15 20:15:21 +0000 UTC]
Haha thank you so much!!! I'm really glad you like this and the way I depicted Sam! I'd been having this idea for so long, ever since we talked about what Sam would do at Eyolf's party, so I was looking forward to depicting that
And glad I could make his insecurity apparent in spite of his decision to show up like this - he's been drinking quite a bit to gather his courage, I imagine ^^ And good point about Gertha I loved her image in her Anger task where she was covered only in her hair, so I felt like drawing her like this, albeit in a different context ^^

Oh my goodness!!
What a wonderful scene!! I'm grinning ear to ear right now!! This was a wonderful surprise to see!
You did such a great job with the picture!! The angles are amazing and the colors look really beautiful. You always make amazing traditional art and this one is no exception!!
Omg and I just friggen love the theme of this prom. Everyone looks so comfortable, though.
Thank you soooo much for including Chris!! He looks like he's having a blast. And definitely staying under water. I feel he would be very shy at first, but looks like Minne found a way to bond with him.
But Sam looks really great!! hehe, I'm glad he was able to let loose thanks to Eyolf's "magic".
And hats off to you for the conveniently placed objects.
Ahh, thank you so much again! This piece truly is a delight!

! He certainly isn't the person to strut around like that, but thankfully he's found a fun activity that keeps him under water
My pleasure, it's been fun drawing him!

Sam is looking absolutely fantastic as Prom king. And everyone is having such a lovely time!

Hahaha I'm happy you like my depiction of Jace! I thought grilling would be a manly preoccupation and I much more imagine him doing that than playing beach ball or singing ( I think he'll get to that and more later on xD) Besides, he doesn't have to be close to Deimos for this so as not to feel awkward, while he can surely get noticed doing what he's doing (and in that outfit ^^)
Thanks for the lovely comment!

WOW! OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO AMAZING! This was such an awesome surprise to log into and really made my day!
I love this piece so much!
This is such a beautiful and breathtaking piece!
I really love the way you've done the layout for this piece! The setting, colours, colouring and composition are all incredibly well done here!
Thank you so, so much for including Makayla here! She looks so great in your style, you did a fantastic job on her, along with everyone else here! I love how everyone looks here! Makayla would be loving this and having a great time, as she's a sociable party person!
This looks like such an awesome and fun pool party, everyone looks like they're having such a great time and enjoying each other's company here, which is great to see! I love how you have everyone contributing to the party in their own special ways and expressing themselves! You captured everyone's characters and their personalities so well here!
I LOVE that you have Makayla and Deimos in charge of the music! I also love how Jace and Gerada are in charge of the food and the perspective on them is wonderfully done! Minne and Chris look like they're having a ball together! (no pun intended)
I also love the way you've shown the prom King Sam here, it looks like he's ruling over the party, and you did a great job on the angle you've drawn him on here. Haha, Eylof looks like he's having such a blast, I love his energetic pose, he looks great!
and Niya loks great too! How fitting for her to be drinking out of an old relic!
It's so clever how you've censored everyone's nudity here! I love the variety in everyone's different body types and how well you've executed them all. You captured Makayla's body type perfectly here and I love how her guitar is censoring her and Deimos! xD I also love the way Deimos looks here too! He looks so content and at peace here, which is nice to see! You also did a great job on his anatomy and capturing his body type here too!
Eyolf sure knows how to run a wonderful, fun party! You did such an amazing job on this piece! I love everything about this! Thank you so very much for this, I love this piece so much!

She is awesome, definitely one of my favourite characters if the round, and so pretty

OH... MY... GOD... THIS... IS... INCREDIBLE!!!
You did an amazing, astounding job at this!
This piece has rendered me utterly speechless! I love, love this so, so much! Thank you so, so much for including Deimos! He isn't one for parties, but he actually likes this one because it's different and he's in charge of the music, which would be a huge plus in his books! I really love the nice, unique variety of guests. Eyolf sure has excellent taste. ;D
I love how this is set up like a comic with the panels showing off the different scenarios of the pool party with a variety of guests. You did an amazing job on their poses, the composition, and the perspective on the first panel is simply breathtaking! I love how Jace and Gerda are doing the barbecuing. ;D If they plan on boiling some Pine Tree State Lobster, Deimos would be in seventh heaven. Oooooh, who's the guest the captain has his sights set on?
Is it a young Greek man with wavy black hair?
I love how Deimos and Makayla are in charge of the music here! Very clever use of censoring the most masculine part of Deimos. ;D I love how totally 80s he looks with his colored clip-on shades and his hair. You captured that aspect of him! I really love how incredibly well he translates into your style! He looks so sexy and gorgeous! You did an amazing job on his physique and got his build and body type down pat.
Deimos would be turning heads at the party, but that could be just me.
I love how Makayla looks playing her guitar and how that's also censoring her lady parts. ;D You did an amazing job on her and she translates incredibly well into your style! I really love how she and Deimos are the musical duo of this party! XD They were dubbed the musical duo of Team Ochre, so it absolutely fits here. Is Eyolf checking them out? ;D
I love the choice of Prom King, too! Oh, I love the sound of Eyolf's "Philosophy of Love." XD
You did an amazing job on this piece! The coloring, textures, characters, and interaction are all amazing! Thank you so, so much for this! I love this so, so much! I cannot stress this enough!
I was having a crappy day, but seeing this in my inbox cheered me up a lot, so thank you for that as well.

I'm also glad that Deimos enjoying the party, I thought the music would get him going even if he isn't much of party person ^^ And yes, I think you've got the Captain's preferences just right, I'm sure he's wondering if that handsome dark-haired Greek man is checking him out, but he's pretending he's just minding his barbecuing
It was really fun depicting Deimos, he's really handsome, his story and setting are interesting, and I absolutely love his style!!! And haha Eyolf is surely planning/hoping to interact more closely with him and Makayla, but he wouldn't want to interrupt their artistic manifestation
I always said that if Eyolf were to live in modern times, the 80s would be the perfect setting for him
He should visit Deimos in his setting, he'd love it

Ohh that's so exciting! I'm sure Eyolf would love to see how people in his place and time have fun, go to a club, drive around in a nice car, be noticed and meet people, shop for clothes and go to rock concerts. Deimos is not as much of a social person, but Eyolf wouldn't mind being the center of people's attention when they go out anyway. Of course, they could also stay in, have some drinks and get warm on a snowy winter evening ^^ I actually made a drawing of Eyolf in the early 80s, but apparently I can't link my dA status from the phone, so I'll have to access my computer first

Well, it doesn't snow where Deimos, Celeste, et al. live as I explained in my "Reona and PTC" settings guide. If it did, it was before Deimos' time and the snow didn't accumulate. XD Still, they get winter and Deimos and Eyolf could have drinks to get warm on a winter evening. XD Even though cold to Deimos would probably be warm to Eyolf.
