Description YES! I FINALLY GOT THEM RIGHT!

I've been trying to draw a Roshaun and Dairine portrait/ship-pic ever since Ro showed up in the books. And I have done many, but none have been up to standard...none have been quite what I thought Ro and Dari would look like. AND NOW I HAVE IT.

So... that is my version of Roshaun. And the title references Wizards at War, which I reeeeaaaallly wanna quote right now, but I won't, for all you YWers sake.

I remember chuckling at the part where Dairine had to change to meet Roshaun's parents, and she forgot to do something to... make it less awkard, and there was, like, that brief flash of time where she almost wasn't wearing anything, and then she was really embarassed because Roshaun had been watching her the whole time. or something like that. I have to re-read those books again, for like, the 5th time.

That really is a beautiful portrayal of DairineXRoshaun >w< I love everything about it, though I can't say make out what materials you used, and how you manipulated them. It looks like watercolour at one point, but then, the colors seem too solid somehow; I agree with ~n-WorldProject, it is an interesting style.

I love this pairing as well >>>>>w<<<< And spotting Spot makes me happy X3 (alrighty, that was unnecessary XD).

It's mostly tria markers, but a little bit of colored pencils too I think.

Oh, I see the strokes ^^ Innovative, and lovely combination It inspires me to return to drawing quickly. The face is colored smoothly, and I love where you placed the highlights and shadow XD
This is EXACTLY how I pictured Roshaun X3 I'm a pretty big fan of Dairine's as well ^^

I don't have any pairing prefs in YW, but regardless...this is wonderful! An interesting style. And on the second glance, I notice the details...the text...and is that Spot I see peeking out of Dair's bag?? *squeal*

For me, Spot, Sker' and Filif rule ^.^ And Peach too...

alidaART In reply to LunaRiven [2007-02-06 03:05:31 +0000 UTC]

Er...the quote was something from one of Dari/Ro's discussions about their friendship. I really have no idea; I don't have the book on hand right now. But anyways, thanks, and yes, Dari/Ro is Teh Luff

W@W is such a fabulous book. I heart Dairine/Roshaun as a pairing soooo much. And S'kerret is also The Love.

No, I haven't! I should check it out. Are there more Sker'ret fans?
Oh, and I finished the book. I'm not sure I get the ending. So, since Dairine didn't find Roshaun in Timeheart or whatever, does that mean he's still alive?

All I can say is: FORWARD TO THE FORUMS! GO NOW AND ENTER PARADISE!

Seriously, though, there are LOTS of the discussions about just that question over there in the W@W Spoiler area. Go visit! And my personal thoughts? We haven't seen the last of Roshaun.

Oooh, very cool... Roshaun's face seems a bit wide, though... o.o But, just a thought. XD I really like it overall, though! Especially Spot peeking out from Dairine's bag. X3

...wait a minute, there are shippers for YW? o.o Geeze, I need to get out of the house more often... Er, stay in the house, really, but... Well, you know what I mean! XD

alidaART In reply to linktoreality [2006-01-08 17:22:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh Em Gee YES THERE ARE SHIPPERS. Lots of 'em. Mostly Nita/Kit, Dairine/Roshaun and Carl/Tom, but there are also...hm, Nita/Ronan, Nita/Lone One...all kinds of stuff.

Have you been to the boards? Register! It's great over there. DD herself is on/pays for the boards, so she's around sometimes to answer questions, and you also have the opportunity to attend chats with her once a month. It's really great, but make sure you read the FAQ the moment you get approved to join, or you might learn the hard way There's some pretty specific rules.

G-g-green? Um, no. His eyes are. Very green. But he is, definitely, very, very, very blonde. Take a look at the first chapter of W@W. It says quite clearly that he is blonde.
