Description Work in progress of my Doom and Dain picture.

Panels: Colour->Shading->Detail

I tried out the Lief and Barda one first but I just can't find the right skintones for them, so I gave Doom and Dain a go instead. At least I know they're pale and dark respectively.

Also, if anyone knows of an actual book reference as to either of their eye colours please let me know. I'd hate to get that wrong.

... sweeeeeeeet

He looks so cool, I partually like he colouring of his cheekbone and neck.

By the way we tried to summon you to a conversation and I'm thinking you might want the link, rather than try to find it yourself.

Thanks!

Necks are pretty hard to draw, there's a lot more detail there than you'd think... But of course you know this, your people are awesome!

Was it this conversation? Or is there another one?

I love necks, they're so cool. I'm so excited for the finished thing.

Yeah that's it. We really should be able to have a 3-way conversation. We don't get notifications for anything but direct replies to our comments. Which makes it hard.

Necks are so weird to draw. You'd think they'd be easy, but no.

And believe me, I'm just as excited working on this thing as you are waiting for it.

I don't know how to solve our conversation problem though... It's a bit awkward with the three of us, isn't it?

Perhaps we should have an actual place to have our conversations rather than just anywhere and everywhere. That way we could just check there to see all the new messages and conversation threads.

Are you going to have a background? Like with the Jasmine one. Because that would take the awesomeness to an all new level.

That sounds like a better idea than what we're doing now. Will this do? [link]

And yes, I'm going to put a background in too. I was thinking of putting them somewhere cavey. They seem to like those...

DarkestWish In reply to King-of-Deltora [2011-07-10 14:28:00 +0000 UTC]

O.O
That is so cool.

Yes, they do like caves.
Maybe Dain's part vampire. He's pale enough.

Yes! Dain is officially a vampire now.

Aw, I was going to draw a vampire but it won't let me draw...

Now we just need to make Lief a werewolf...
The full moon IS mentioned an awful lot...

Aww... How dare they?

Haha, yeah. Lief just loves that full moon.

Thanks mate!

I love drawing realistically and Doom and Dain are probably my favourite DQ boys. It shouldn't take to long to finish them, give me a day or two...

woooo awesome as! can't wait to see them finished

hmmmmm Leif is probably my fave I guess. My favourite gem is the emerald

I can't wait to have them finished! I just completed Doom's face too: [link]

For my favourite character it'd have to be a tie between Doom and Jasmine. I like ones with tragic pasts.

And I think I like the Lapis Lazuli personally.

aussie-dragon In reply to King-of-Deltora [2011-07-10 11:14:02 +0000 UTC]

oh awesome. I'll check it out!

Yeah characters with tragic pasts are always interesting. I like Leif... not cos he's the main character, but because he's got a secluded life that he has no idea about. I love the secrecy that his parents are hiding and I like how he's naive at times but then mature and brave at other times and then kind hearted hehe

Oh awesome. Yeah the Lapis Lazuli is a beautiful stone

King-of-Deltora In reply to aussie-dragon [2011-07-10 11:19:10 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Lief's interesting like that. He must've been pretty shocked to find out he wasn't who he thought he was!

As a rule I tend to like stones that aren't clear, like opals and turquiose too. I don't know why, I just like them.

aussie-dragon In reply to King-of-Deltora [2011-07-10 11:23:49 +0000 UTC]

I only like the emerald because green is my favourite colour. And emerald green is my favourite tone of green :heeart: hehehe and the opal does mezmorise me a lot because of it's stunning colours and stuff

Yeah that must've been a smack in the face for Leif. But I was really surprised about it, especially Dain being the Ol! I was shocked beyond belief

King-of-Deltora In reply to aussie-dragon [2011-07-10 11:29:33 +0000 UTC]

My favourite colour's blue, so that'd explain why I love Lapis Lazuli!

And I kind of saw Lief being the heir coming, just because he was the main character. But Dain, oh that one really shocked me. I would never have expected it.

yeah. I kind of expected it to be Jasmine but I was surprised when the belt shone for Leif

I'd read a few of Emily Rodda's other books before Deltora and I noticed that she loves to make you think characters are more important than they really are.

aussie-dragon In reply to King-of-Deltora [2011-07-10 13:27:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah she knows how to really make you believe all of this amazing stuff and make it so fantasy like and so involving! It's what I love about her writing

King-of-Deltora In reply to aussie-dragon [2011-07-10 13:35:11 +0000 UTC]

I love how she always keeps you guessing until the very last chapter when all the secrets get revealed.

omgosh yes!!! Best part about it all!!! I recently read the key to rondo!! amazing it was! I never suspected anything like that!!! just absolutely amazing. I'm trying to get my hands on the boxset. I found one but it was nearly $60 -___-

King-of-Deltora In reply to aussie-dragon [2011-07-10 13:55:22 +0000 UTC]

The Key to Rondo was awesome! I was so sure Conker and the others were bad guys. The other books are just as brilliant! I couldn't put any of them down!

I think I paid about twenty dollars for each of them separately, so sixty isn't that far off.

aussie-dragon In reply to King-of-Deltora [2011-07-10 22:20:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I guess that's true about the price anyways

Yeah I was certain about that as well! And to figure out that the key was actually the pendant and the artists brush hairs was just absolutely amazing!!! hehehhe I loved how it all twsited and came to an amazing conclusion!

Before Emily Rodda started to write for children she wrote adult mysteries, so I guess secrets and plot twists are her favourite things to write.
