Watercolor and Pigma Micron pens on watercolor paper
Casimir and Erandur, back to back. Past and present. Night, and day.
The colored version! Finally! Line work (I'm always more fond of the line work) is here (along with more description): www.deviantart.com/fancybirdy/… Since I'm doing a lot of experimentation with photographing artwork, please let me know if something doesn't look right.
Fun Fact: Almost got a virus or something on my phone while looking at reference images of Vaermina... Just to be safe, I then went and downloaded a bunch of Mara pictures. So far so good. Phew, that was a close one! XD

Brand-Shei is lovely, I'd love to draw him sometime! He was actually on my eye painting list, and I've been meaning to get back into doing that series.

How did I not see this yet??? I 100% second Erandur with tattoos! I also love the contast between the fabrics, not just their colour, but also how (dis)orderly they look. It subtly emphasizes that Erandur got his life together! I also love how abrasive Casimir looks whereas Erandur's stance is more vulnerable. So much symbolism...
Anyway, lovely artwork!

Thank you so much! Haha, this piece took foreverrrrrr XD I'm glad it all came across ok! I'm trying to be better about planning ahead on compositions. It was a big stretch!

Oh! My! God!
How cool is that??? What a great idea with the night and day reference! I love the combination of violet and yellow so much in general and you just put these together in one picture with two (2. 2!!) Erandurs with lively (and lovely hehe) poses and tattoos! Love the storytelling here, I'm amazed!
This officially gets on my personal all time favourite list, good work <3

Well, you know what they say... Two Erandurs are better than one. XD Thank you so much! That's an honor for this to be on your all time favorite list, wow!!

You're drawing made my day, too, haha
(I'm always so enthusiastic, I'm almost sorry XD But TRUE, who could resist two Erandurs?!)

Strange how mere tattoos can show so much character complexity.

I am a big, big fan of tattoos for that reason. I don't have any myself though, so I'm living vicariously through Erandur, haha!

Oh these tattoos *absolutely rule.* I love the idea of him going back over old ink with new.... and funny, it took me until just now to realize his robes over the years are complementary colors :^p

Thank you! I'm thinking he might have left the Vaermina tattoos alone on his left side, though that may only be because I haven't figured out what he'd cover them up with yet...
Yes! I didn't realize it either until recently, then I got really excited to throw paint at him!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah haha! I like the idea of him letting old history lie for the time being. But then the idea of exploring tattoo removal in a world with magic is really 👀 as well.
and NICE. I think it shows! The subtle smear and wash effect came out really lovely ;_;

The contrast of the purple and orange is so satisfying and Ilove how the paint runs down. It's just... Wow!

Ohhh thank you! <3 Even though I was nervous about it, the paint flinging was actually pretty good stress relief. I'm looking forward to trying more splattery looking things!
