Description He'll live. The first week or more will be hell and he should have died. But he will live.
- Yulia
Eloris town head doctor.

--------

"We promised we would never die for each other. To live for someone means a lot more to us then dying and giving up the time you could spend together. Evah knew that neither of us would have survived that night as it was and so she made sure I would survive before death claimed her. She gave me a second chance; the life I have now was her last gift to me and I will never let anyone take it from me."
-Emiris Stormhael


While Guardians are highly skilled and can usually hold their own against large groups of bandits or common soldiers, they aren't strong enough to survive against a number of highly skilled fighters. That night half of the group that had come left to chase after Evah, leaving six skilled warriors to execute Emiris as the others would Evah. The Guardian was able to fight back and defeat all of them, but with everything he sustained the only thing that kept him moving was adrenaline and determination to find Evah. The sword wound across his back was the first and through out the battle his wing, clavicle and left arm were broken, several ribs were cracked and numerous other wounds were sustained. The only thing that kept him from dying was the healing magic from the newly formed bond. Usually used to numb any new physical attributes, the magic instead healed the other wounds just enough to keep him alive. From there the healers of the town could do the rest. In order to keep pressure off of broken bones as well as to have enough room to keep his wings in place, Emiris was lain on a thick, soft quilt in Yulia's home in front of the fireplace to ward off the autumn chill. He was unconscious for a week and in order to keep the Seraphim from taking Emiris back and hunting down Kel, Evah's family reported that he had died with her. This means that everyone from Emiris's past other than Evah's immediate family do not know he's still alive, and wouldn't believe you if you told him he was an Arean Commader. This is added to by the fact that Guardians aren't even allowed to enroll in the Caelian or Earthran armies because it would separate them from their charge. On that night Emiris became someone who no longer existed on document and therefore became an enigma who could easily drift through the territories.

Points for Ares

PLEASE DON"T KILL ME!! *runs and hides*
As you can see from the stuff above this happened over a year in the past and aside from a fading scar on his back he doesn't look like any of these wounds ever happened.

Also, he's not completely naked under the blanket, so back of you rabid fangirls.
Yes I do feel I have to put that on there because of how some of you chat people behave.

Ehhhh, I can't think of anything else to say.

This is what I did instead of everything else like Fasnet or other more important things. Way to go me.


Used this for a drawing process thingy here.

Hey, great job, well done!
Emiris' pose is very well achieved: sometimes it's difficult to draw a character lying and it's even more difficult to draw him from that point of view... or well, at least I find it difficult! Moreover, the character doesn't look detached from the rest of the composition and the background, that's also remarkable.
You did an AMAZING job with the background: all those details make it look very interesting; the scissors, the pots, the bandages and the towels are very well placed because they don't break the composition's balance and at the same time they give a context to the artwork. Not to mention that the light source gives a suitable atmosphere.
Besides, I like the story that's behind the artwork, it helps me know Emiris a little better
Again, you did an excellent job, keep it up!

Oh wow. XDD thanks so much for taking the time to write a comment that long.

Drawing his laying down wasn't too hard, but the bottles and stuff from that angle was a bit more challenging. Also, blending into the background was helped by having all the shadows the same color, just transparent.

Yeah, Sol suggested I write little short stories like that to make the drawings more interesting. ^^ So thank her.

amazing job as always!
Though the hands feels a bit unnatural. I know that the position of the arms is possible, but to me it would feel more natural if the hands were with the palm facing up. Not to mention I have trouble understanding were the thumb is ^^'

Otherwise, I do love how this turned out. Can I steal your skillz?

AealZX In reply to Az-The-Dragon [2012-03-17 16:19:42 +0000 UTC]

XD thankes~

Ah, yeah it is usually more natural to have the palms up when on your stomach. But this was is possible too. If you look in this pic at the references I used the grey scaled one has the hands palm down. I drew it that way for the appearance it gives but also because the radius and ulna aren't twisted around each other like that.
Thank you so much for pointing that out though.

Haha, no, but you can clone them so we can both have them.

Az-The-Dragon In reply to AealZX [2012-03-17 16:29:17 +0000 UTC]

I see your point, they still feel/look unnaturally posed to me, though. I do wonder why...

How am I even supposed to clone them, though?

AealZX In reply to Az-The-Dragon [2012-03-17 17:24:37 +0000 UTC]

Some things do that to me too. But if I see it in a ref I just run with it. Makes my life easier and I'm lazy.

I dunno. That's for you to figure out. XD
