Description
Been working on this in secrecy for some time now.I've been reading 's story "Dragon Mage" for a bit now. Me and him have become good friends now and he has asked me to do put face to his characters. Well, I love his story so much that I've been making more fan art of it than he asked for.
So, this is Swift, one of Eric's familiars.
I'm depicting a part in chapter 17, were Swift was looking for food, and finds plums for his master. If you want to know more about him, or what a familiar is, than go check out the story.
Here is chapter 17, (where this takes place) but I insist that you start at the beginning. ---> [link]
Hope you like it Stevie!!

I love the ethereal look you gave this! On a technical level you kept the lines very clean as well, I like the included sketch too. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Oh. My. Word.
Where to start? Seriously, where to start? I already said that you're bringing my story and its characters to life, in a way I could never have imagined. The statement stands, except now it ends with an exclamation.
I'm humbled and happy that my writing inspires your imagination in such a manner.
Your depiction of Swift here, is better than what I had imagined. I love the way you've outlined him and how you've colored him. The shade and transparency is perfect. It's almost like he's almost solid, and I like that. It makes sense, and is easy to visualize being seen in the story. The wings are great! The white edging, and darker shades in the spots you placed it, is done very well. Nice detail with the teeth.
And the eyes, as usual, are great. I like how you made them without pupils; it's exactly how I had pictured it. Well, not exactly, your picture came out better, ha! Anyway, I like how you made the eyes look. It suits the character well.
Also, you did a great job depicting how the familiars choose to interact with their environment about 90% of the time - he's carrying the plums as a real fox would, in his mouth. The difference being a lack of saliva or bite marks.
And, well, he's cute.
The only thing I have to say is that I'm not sure I'd describe Eric as being a "master" over his familiars; I know for certain he certainly wouldn't. They're more friends to him than anything else.
Wow. Once again, I'm flattered, humbled, and a little bit surprised that you like the story so much that it's inspiring you to do fan art like this. I feel bad, since I have no way to really thank you. Other than writing these books of reviews on your art.
I know, I'll just call you my official story artist! Joking aside, everything you've done, except for the one crossover, is canon to the story. I love seeing it.
I can only hope that you continue to enjoy the story in such a way that you are now. As I said, you've brought it to life in a way I could never have imagined!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
