Description
I have an infatuation with Zaknafein Do'Urden. He is handsome, capable, and an intelligent drow male. He taught Drizzt mostly everything he knows about fighting. The rest came with practice. But Zak, his big heart and well endowed body did indeed land him a good position with Matron Malice....and now, about his bloodline...Are Malice and Zak brother and sister?Pencils (about three hours. 15 minutes at a time over a period of a month) It is mainly a self-imposed excercise with textures.

Me too! Drizzt was brave; but he ran away. Zak was braver because he remained to live within the system he knew.

Well, Malice 'was' a horrible person lol. It's a requirement of being a Matron Mother

true; that's why I wouldn't put it beyond her to enslave her sibling. I"m glad that's not the case.

Tbh, even if he were, it's hardly uncommon 
But no, I asked my wife, she agree's. We both think that Zak started out as a Drow Warrior who became Malice's mate, then due to his prowess with the blades, he became weapons master.

Hmm; I don't remember how the logic went in my head. I think it had to do with their mother having seven kids or somesuch and they only accounted for a few, or he was secondboy something . I'll have to re read it.

I am re-reading atm. Not read it since high school about 15 years back lol. Love the book, but Salvatores tendancy to called Drizzt by his name at EVERY opportunity gets a little annoying. Rarely is it 'he attacked the kobold', but it's more like 'Drizzt unsheathed Drizzt's scimitars. The Kobold saw Drizzt and Drizzt attacked it with Drizzt's scimitars'.
Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration lol, but still!

Hahaha; well, to his credit, he wasn't a writer before he started. He was still getting his craft down at the time. Still managed to make a compelling tale, though!

True that lol. I do find all authors have very different, but very irritating habits! All Games Workshop Black Library books have awful grammar, Feist is particularly bad with 'he said this, then he said that' with no variation other than he/she said lol. Etc etc.
I guess that parts also due to the editors.

Yeah; and deadlines...deadlines can suck.

Very nice piece of art.
However, no. Zak and Malice were not siblings. I believe it mentions in Homeland that Zaknafein was elevated to the position of mate centuries ago, but unlike most of the others, his prowess with a blade landed him a placement as weapon master, so he was not executed like the rest.

Good! i was always sort of disturbed by it, how it was worded, I think. Cuz if it was, then Malice was a horrible horrible person, especially since he couldn't do anything about it.

i totally get it! i love him too! :-D and Drizzt, they are two very rare characters :-D

*nods* I really like Drizzt, too. Although my favorite drow of all is Jarlaxle...
π: 0 β©: 1
that sly dog! 
π: 0 β©: 1
lol Yes. it's chaos to everyone else, anyway. Everything makes sense to him.
π: 0 β©: 1
that- is the awesomeness that is Jarlaxle

Indeed! he's in my gallery somewheres...but the pencil sketch kicks more ass. that one is in my scraps.

Thanks! you should see my Drizzt, too! though my favorite is my own Jarlaxle. He came out exactly how I think he looks!

awww, I hate it when that happens. Or when you put some serious hours on a piece, and then the file gets corrupted somehow....now that...is to cry for.

Zaknafein, loves!
Gives a hug to Slayde Vasiere!
I adore the shading great work, more zaknafein please!
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL you might just get more Zak!

Hell yeah, he is! Hopefully Salvatore will go through with his suggestion of making a book with Jarlaxle and Zak...

Perhaps not, I mean, it seriously could be a prequel to The Dark Elf trilogy, instead of a next book in a series.

Nice idea, but it should be a real big flashback... quite hard to do.

Good work and great attention to shadding and detail.

Thank you! I based his appearance mostly on the latest Lockwood covers.

ο»ΏNo prob, and cool!
trilogy...Never got past it because I am missing a lot of books, like The Halflingβs Gem. *Shakes
head* Sad...Ah well. So to get to the point of my rambling, I havenβt read those books yet.

aww, that's a big bummer. You should go get the paperbacks. If you're able to shop online i'm sure you'll find them on amazon or something. [link]

No, we don't shop online in this house.

Well, you know. Salvatore is trapped between the will of the fans and the will of the corporation that owns his soul. Somewhere in the midst, he gets to put things he likes.
π: 0 β©: 1
Still...Its just not for me. I just don't like a great character being transformed into something flawed, when they were perfectly fine how they were. But I can also understand the pressure. Like I had said, its only my opinion, I'm not coming against Salvatore or anything, just voicing my own thoughts.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL I love arguing. But I agree with you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not me, I prefer making peace and keeping everyone feeling good, then making more trouble with fighting.
π: 0 β©: 1
^_^ That's cool. I can respect different views...I like making people feel good about themselves.

Alright, thanks, I'm the same way.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL That'd be a sight to see!

*_^ you like the pencils, huh?

While I highly doubt that Malice and Zak are related blood-wise, they sure do have an odd relationship--if you could call it that. And you drew him better than he was drawn in the comic. Smoochies!!!
