Description
[COMMENT]This pile of useless fancypants recently received a character update. Seth's a calligraphy teacher now. I wanted him to have an unpractical profession completely unrelated to his education, and this fit the bill. His accessories now include inkpot, inkstone, brushes, and protective tube for paper. I wanted to draw him as he would dress for class. The other two sketches with his hood up aren't finalized, they're just doodles of travelling clothes.
[CHARACTER]
Seth is the strange bachelor nobody recommends to their daughters. He is apparently pleased by two things: collecting students' calligraphy homework and discovering his front door is clean upon arrival. Too often was he forced to pry off a dozen dead eels forced into the shape of a lotus on his front door. Or maybe a large liver for variety. The worst were the hearts often with their aortic veins and life-juice still dribbling from the ends. The dampness of the gifts gave the disturbing impression they were recently procured. Shortly after the eels and other organs began decorating his front door, Seth became aware of a presence... watching him.
It became a thorny issue. His neighbors were convinced they lived next door to some sort of psychopath. Why Setheryll? He led an inoffensive life telling young dragons to "add more force" and "hide the tip in left-falling."
By the time Seth could answer the question "Why?", he would have already travelled across the world to the strange cities of Lun Xing, picked up some very irritating cargo and seen a number of fantastic things.
[MEDIUM]
Pencil, Adobe Photoshop for textures and color adjustment.
In the back of my mind, his real name will be always Chao Zi Xue.Β

lkjflkdajfsdfaffffff I LOVE SETH ;A; And I like his updated calligraphy profession. SO CUTE. His clothes are really interesting and intricate as well ;3; I like his "!" expression, fufufu.
I think he and Linds would get along famously. Two smart blond boys: we have them.
OH LUCAN. Seth does not desire your dead eel lotuses! Nor does he want your doorstep organ gifts! The crazy boy.
I STILL WANT TO READ THIS STORY, SILLY. 8I It's so good. Do want.

HAHAHA Lucan needs to understand little purple things that go "blomp-blomp!" aren't welcome on people's doorways. Or maybe he chooses not to understand because things are more entertaining that way. Crazy boy indeed!
aw, Linds. He'll always be my favourite clever blonde boy. He and Seth can discuss their boy problems over tea.
I'm like.. turning this story into script right now. It's not super enjoyable to read because its being written in comic-page format, which is why I'm holding back on sharing it. D: But when I do send it around, you'll be one of the first to get it. Though I'm scared to death that it will make no sense and be awfully boring, hahaha. XDD

Oh Lucan. Just because you've given a heart to Seth doesn't mean that you've given you're heart to him. And he won't give you his either D: IT'S A TRAGEDY, REALLY.
;A; Now I want a picture of them having tea together, being all proper. SO CUTE.
Oh, also. You're CRAZY. I want it, and I'm sure it will be anything but boring <3

Very cool! I love the shot from behind, though I think that his arm is at a bit of a strange angle. Great details and concept!

Starlitdragon In reply to cursed-sight [2010-07-18 21:04:02 +0000 UTC]
I agree, I think the arm is not really natural either. There are many good poses I could have chosen that would have left his waist clear. xD Thank you for the comment!

Thanks, haha. Seth's girly style is intentional, there's a group of dragons that choose to dress in that stereotype.

oh wow i really like the aging thats you did on this peice!!! its wonderfuland the characters are great!!! did you use wine staining for this?

Starlitdragon In reply to galaxydragon22 [2010-07-18 21:09:15 +0000 UTC]
Nope! Although everything was drawn and semi-shaded with pencil, colour adjustment and textures were added with PS. I put the picture in traditional because the textures took less than an hour, whereas the drawings collectively took several hours to complete.

On the other hand, I never want to draw him wearing that exact outfit again! 8D
