Description
This took me FOREVER.
So these are the main players in the project I'm currently working on and am very close to starting to draw, so expect to see a lot of these four in the future.
Characters are Prince Sebastion DeGuille ("Bastion"), his twin sister, Princess Viola, his best friend, a wizard named Christian Orsino ("Hex") and in the painting behind them, a mermaid named Olivia. She doesn't have a human form, so it was the only way to work her in to this particular one, and she doesn't look much like a mermaid because you can't see her fins and she dresses in the bodices of gowns she finds in shipwrecks. Yes, they are named after the four main characters in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and yes, the surname "DeGuille" is super punny (bonus points if you can tell me why) and is meant to make you smile and give some insight into Bastion and Viola's personality.
Also, in case it isn't obvious, Viola's dressed as the night, Hex is the sunset/sunrise, and Bastion is the day, and in another bit of punny goodness, the colourful gems Viola's wearing are moonstones, and the colourful gems Bastion's wearing are sunstones.

HOLY-FREAKIN-FANTASTIC-MOTHER OF PEARL.... This is INCREDIBLE! One of your most beautiful pieces EVER! I'm just totally blown away by the amount of detail in it.
In particular, Viola's dress... I want it and I want it now. It doesn't just remind me of the night sky, it reminds me of the milky way. The bottom of her dress is like the night sky, but as you travel farther up it it's like entering the mikly way with vast amount of stardust painting the way.
I just kind of have to laugh at Sebastion. I mean, he's almost to beautiful to be a guy AND he knows it! I'm suprised he doesn't have peacock feathers poking out. Most of all I'm loving Hex, there's just something so alluring about him. Maybe it's the translucence of the mask and the little grin on his face. I don't know- I love the mysterious types.
And the ballroom- oh my it's so beautiful. Okay, forget doing my wedding cards, would you please design my entire wedding? I'll feed you cookies and cake and lots of Italian food! *sticks out lower lip*
Really, truly, gorgeous and incredible piece!

inkscribble In reply to Mylares [2008-08-13 03:10:18 +0000 UTC]
Aww, so glad you like it, sweetheart!
I didn't think of Viola's dress as having anything to do with the milky way, but looking at it after reading your comment, I can definitely see it! Bastion's in full beautiful boy mode here (I put his hair in curls because I was thinking of 18th century mens hair), but he normally isn't anywhere near this girly. I'll be putting up character sheet soon, so you'll be able to see what I mean.
Hex actually isn't mysterious at all - he was inspired by Sora of Kingdom Hearts, so he's actually a silly and a total sweetheart.
Awww! I'd love to design your wedding! Italian food = epic win!

I shall name it, the Milky Way dress! Designed by the famous designer the Lady Ink Scribble. (ooooh, I know someone famous!)
And I'm so happy you did post a sheet on him! His pretty boy looks need somewhere to be display, neh?
And aww, I guess his face was so honest I thought he had to be up to something. But I see the sweetheart innocence now that you've pointed it out. D'AWWWW MORE RANDOM GLOMPAGE IS CALLED FOR! Man, I need to start going to these balls...
And that would be SOOO amazing! Of course, I'd need a husband first...*runs out to find random guy* "YOU! Marry me now so I can get cool designs for my wedding...NOW!" Who could resist? *continues on search*

Heehee! Awww!
Glad you like the sheet! And yes, Hex is totally glompable - or at least, that's the idea!
Also, I fully support your plan of attack for finding a husband. It works for Hollywood, right?
P.S: I got second place in the Forbidden Love contest!
