Description Nilaihah the Golden-tongued, the fifth of seven paintings based on the drakhaouls of Sarah Ash’s Tears of Artamon trilogy. Oh, my long-lost yellow ochre. How I love you. Let’s never be apart again.

Nilaihah is a late-comer in the story, showing up at the start of the last novel “Children of the Serpent Gate” but not exactly telling us who he is until half way through the novel. Prince Enguerrand of Francia, Nilaihah’s host and patsy, doesn’t think its very funny when he discovers that the “angel” he’s been communing with is actually one of the daemons he’s trying to rid the world of. The other drakhaouls, however, find it hilarious.

yes, but the key word i used was 'knew' in which i meant people in real life. The problem being that around here for some reason people who read fantasy novels are frowned upon. Unless it's the twilight series which are crap in my opinion. Even people who buy fantasy games are kinda looked at weird here unless it's assassin's creed or some highly main stream game. Hell even shopping for food you get ridiculed around here lol.

wow! i was starting to fear there would be no more drakhaouls from you, yet here it is and its so beautiful! how big is the actual picture?

MNat In reply to flyingearthworm [2011-06-25 21:11:21 +0000 UTC]

There are two drakhaouls left to go! I can't give up yet!

And these paintings are actually TINY: 5x7.5 inches They're the smallest paintings I've done in a long time. I usually paint arouns 11x17 or 16x20 sizes but not this time!

keep going!!! ill watch you till the very end! (and most likely a lot longer)

oh dear lord D: i dont get how you can do them that small, i can hardly make watercolor do what i want when its in larger sizes, and small ones like ACEO's i wont even mention. so you get a BUNCH of respect for this, not only is it amazing, but its tiny!

Thank you so much. This series of little illustrations has been very fun for that reason. Without any props or outside elements to assisst, keeping the illustrations individual to the different drakaouls' personalities and visually different from one another while still having them appear as a set was a nice challenge
