Description This is my half of an art-trade with , in which I was to draw her Myst persona with Sirrus.

I figure the title of this piece could be said by either of the characters, cause I mean, while the Sirrus fans have been drooling ever since they laid eyes on him in the first Myst game, Sirrus himself would probably be feeling rather differently about the Stranger (the player) during the looong years between the first game and the fourth...

Even though he does see you in the game and... doesn't recognize you. Oh well. He should!

I hope you like it *shoomlah , I was having the hardest time coming up with a concept for this picture! As a result my sketchbook is now full of your character, and there's a rather random comic featuring you and Sirrus that I will be posting shortly (it was so random that I didn't think I could really count it as my half. ). Your persona is quite fun to draw, but unfortunately she's not really showing her personality here, not looking the slightest bit cynical...

And I think it's significant that the whole time I was coloring Sirrus, the Iron Man theme was going through my head.

Ah, you know I love it when you draw Sirrus. I wish I could draw. And I never knew Sirrus had that many fangirls o_O Anyway, this is awesome as usual.

Freckles! I love characters with freckles. Also, her hair is awesome. You did a really good job with the color on this one. (Not that you don't always do a good job...)

Thank you velly much! Drawing Shoomlah's character reminded me of how great freckles can be, actually.

I really like it, their expressions particularly. And like KatieWings said, the colouring is sublime.

Haha, nice work! As my newest journal says, I've tried playing Myst, but I'm not sure what to do first. ;D

And for the record, Shoomlah's gallery was the very first DA gallery I ever visited, back before I had a DA gallery. It's strange how I remember that.

OMGOMGOMG Awesome. You win at... Everything. Crap, I need to make my half of this trade out of this world amazing now. The fact that it\'s some hot crossbreed between Tony Stark and Sirrus is not at all a bad thing.

I\'ll be in my bunk,

Phew! So glad you like it that much! There's always that awkward, nail-biting stage of waiting for the other person to log onto DA and pass jugement. I've been checking your page obsessively for the past couple days -- "Two days, where is she???"

It's okay, the promised comic will not be nearly as elaborate in the art department.

I really love your Sirrus, you really managed to capture him the way he is! and *shoomlah 's persona sure looks like a great MYST character.

I didn't know that Sirrus don't recognize the stranger in Revelation! I thought that he does recognise but was trying to use him to lure Atrus to Srenia and then have revenge on both.

Artoveli In reply to TaktarTheLombax [2008-05-26 17:55:03 +0000 UTC]

Naw, it would have been a much more pronounced recognition if he had recognized you, don't you think?

Faeliscity [2008-05-26 09:16:27 +0000 UTC]

Ha! I recognized her before even reading the comment! (translation = excellent job) (OK, the fact that she was with Sirrus might have helped, but then again Shoomlah isn't the only sirrus fan - far from it, so...)

Her expression is OK even if she doesn't look cynical: it's the fangirlish mood that does that to her

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Artoveli In reply to Faeliscity [2008-05-26 18:00:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I imagine the fangirlish-ness is probably responsible for overriding her personality a little bit here.

Ahhhhhhh...... ^^ I even can't speak.... I mean type... Fantastic...
Of course I remember this nice Stranger... hmmm I'm a lil jealous ('coure I'm a fan... or.. maybe.. fangirl... ^^), but this is BRILLIANT.
Great Work. You're very talented artist as I said before... and will speak so for eternity.

Elorviel [2008-05-25 05:30:20 +0000 UTC]

Okay, so unlike most fans, I never found Sirrus attractive. That is, until now. Who would have thought a stylized drawing of him would have made me think "wow...he's...cute!"

Artoveli In reply to Elorviel [2008-05-25 17:23:50 +0000 UTC]

I never had much of a like for him either. Call me crazy but the overall villainy kind of turned me off.
I must say though that I was quite pleased with the way these profiles turned out!

I saw that movie the other day with my sister. Two thoughts on it:

1) Bloody brilliant.
2) When's the (censored) sequel coming out already?!?
3) I wanna see it again NOW! (okay, so that's three thoughts. It's past midnight, lay off)

Yes, it was quite enjoyable.

Just to be clear though, this is not Tony Stark. He just looks remarkably like him.

Holy crap... Sirrus IS Tony Stark o_O Genius alchoholic asshole inventor

... and dear god, now I want to draw Sirrus a set of crystal-resonator armor. His would be green and shiny. Except he probably wouldn't fight crime and would instead conquer defenseless island nations.
