Vir Lath Sa'vunin ART ZOMG WUT

[ashstoner_021]

*collapses into a huge heap on the floor*  Wow, I wasn't sure I was ever going to finish this... well, and live to see the day anyway, haha.  I've been stringing poor Shimmy along with WIP glances for awhile now, so I figure I'd best get my ass in gear and FINISH IT.



I admit, the background on this is laaaaaaame.  I wanted it to look way more epic, but it just WOULDN'T do what I wanted it to!  So... yeah.  Haaaaa.  

CLOSEUPS:








There ya go!  Hope you gals enjoy!  I admit I'm a HUGE horse freak, so the excuse to work on my horse anatomy was a good one.  Man the muses just BLIND SIDED me with this.  Here I was, all innocent and working on WIAWSNB... and then boom!  I swear I literally almost fell over.  Was weird.  ANYWAY... I promise I'll do more comic now!  BUT THIS WAS REALLY REALLY FUN AND I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS!  

<3's to Shimmy and Lenna.  You guys are awesome.

First off YOUR ICON IS AMAZING AND I FEEL OHSOHAPPY NOW. Of course you have my permission, if you want to make icons out of any of my gift art, you don't need to ask. They're your gifts and you can do as you will after all! The credit is nice though <3

The bg is okay now that I look at it, lol. I envisioned something way more massive and epic, but I'm pretty sure it would have taken me WAAAAAYYYYY longer to complete. I picked the colors because they felt very tranquil and foresty, like Dalish!

Tesni is probably my favorite out of all of these to be honest. Her face cooperated SO WELL. Plus her tattoo came out amazing, which is a first for me. Although I will say that I like her horse the least of the three. She came out too cartoony. Ah well.

Alistair REALLY surprised me once I got color on him. Before hand his face was kind of 'meh', but now I am QUITE pleased. And possibly drooling. *slurps* His horse as well gave me a bit of trouble to get the markings right. I think I invented some new swears when I was doing that. Also, I am still learning how to do lightening... lol. I wasn't sure if you guys had certain enchants on weapons like I do, but I ALWAYS have Alistair and Lexie decked out in lightning glyphs. Plus... I wanted SHINIES. I can't take full credit on the sword perspective, my friend Sarah helped me XD I WILL THANK HER FOR YOU THOUGH. Also I don't think I will ever get tired of drawing the Warden Commander armor... I'm getting good at it! XD Sort of... lol.

Caerwyn didn't cooperate well. He looked way more badass in my head, plus I can't seem to draw mouths or things in them lol. Although I LOVE the way his horse came out. That made me smile. And YES ABOUT THE BLOOD IN THE MOUTH THING. That is exactly what I thought as well!

I also attempted to coordinate the horses' tack with the armor their riders are wearing. Most turned out well except for Caerwyns, his armor went too dark on me, which was weird.

I'm so glad you guys like these! They were a large learning experience, and I tried new things that I've never done before. Thank YOU for making such a good fic to spur ideas into my head like this! <33
