Description I love this series soooo much, although I haven't read it in at least a year. I have only just now picked up the newest book, if you can believe that (no spoilers, please!).

Anyway, I felt like drawing Nicci but couldn't think of a good scene. I asked my friend ~MudstarMord-Sith for suggestions, since she loves Nicci. She suggested one of the scenes she herself had already drawn, and so this picture was born.

This is the scene from Chainfire, right after Richard digs up Kahlan's supposed grave and begins to think he has nothing to live for at this point. He stares out at an abandoned Aydindril and contemplates jumping to his death. That's when Nicci stops him and convinces him to continue fighting for what he believes in, even though she herself doubts Kahlan's existence.

Sorry the title sucks, I don't know what to call this. I think I have been improving lately artistically, though, so that's been fun. I am really happy with how Aydindril turned out. I won't say it turned out better than I imagined (I always imagine something so much better than what I am capable of) but I will say it turned out better than what I thought I could pull off. I'm pretty pleased with Richard and Nicci, too. Except the hands, which I still fail at and usually just try to leave undefined so I don't have to deal with them!

Can't remember whether Richard was actually wearing this outfit or not. Don't have time to search for that detail. I forgot stuff about his outfit, anyway. Like his bracers. And those were important And was he still wearing the Agiel at this point?

And as for more minor details, I prefer Richard with shorter hair than this. But I doubt he's had time for a hair cut recently. Anyway, I don't think it was very long because the wind "ruffled" it when he was contemplating jumping, rather than whipping through it like it might have done if his hair was long. So... I put too much thought into this stuff. But I never heard of long hair being "ruffled", so he's got short but scruffy.

Love it! And Nicci is technically supposed to look like a supermodel (but I prefer your rendition) , but then again...what character in the SoT series isn't like that.

klikkitat In reply to craniifer [2012-04-24 02:16:49 +0000 UTC]

is she not pretty enough to be a supermodel here? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose ^^ I think she looks pretty good, but then, its my version so I guess that's a given But I mean... given the time period, its not like I can glam her up with tons of make up or fake breasts and such, you know?

craniifer In reply to klikkitat [2012-04-24 02:27:18 +0000 UTC]

I personally prefer anyone who is NOT a supermodel. I like personality and stuff. I'm just making a snide remark on Terry Goodkind and the lack of flaws in characters. Mind you, nobody is as flawless as Richard, but I digress.

klikkitat In reply to craniifer [2012-04-24 02:31:04 +0000 UTC]

LOL! I see now. I thought you were complaining that she wasn't good enough here. That's the beauty of reading - you can imagine their appearances however you want. Sometimes my imagination doesn't line up with canon (in other series not just this one) and that's okay I like my own versions better. I don't enjoy films or TV shows based on books at all, because I don't like looking at somebody else's version. I'd rather just read and have my own.

Richard is definitely a little too perfect... but its hard not to love him, so I don't mind in his case

oh it's so beautiful! I love how the emotion is portrayed on their faces! Richard really looks the way I pictued him and Nicci looks so beautiful i might cry! I really adore her I...she means the world to me. She just...is kinda my role model I guess, after she changed that is! and she looks so soft yet strong..wich is how i see her. great job I really really love this!

Thanks! I was so happy with how their faces and expressions turned out. I should show you the line art, because it is amazing the difference a little color can make in something. I'm so happy I've done Nicci justice for you Feel free to suggest any other scenes you might want me to do, because I loved doing this and it really made me miss SOT! LOL. I would love to do more, I just have a hard time picking scenes out because there are so many!

I think I did one on my old account. It actually was probably Verna and Warren's. I can't remember, but I know I did somebody's. Its in storage now so I can't see it and I don't feel like logging over lol. I prefer other scenes than just a bunch of people standing around like in a wedding though.

I haven't seen Denna from you in quite a while now that I think about it! Or any SOT art, really I'm really excited to do more now that I'm starting to get back into it again. Its just that I have so much other stuff to do too!!! LOL. I still have to do my Hunger Games stuff, too. Oh and that BG for you!

Cara is my favourite of all
But it's not exactly Nicci's fault, she was manipulated and forced to believe what she did, and the things Jagang did :S poor woman. I admire the things she went through and how she turned out in the end.

Oh no, I know its not her fault But I can't help it. I think she is great for all that she has done in the later books. I certainly don't dislike her. She just isn't and never will be my favorite for the role she has played in coming between Richard and Kahlan. But I still like her and think she's a great character. She'll never compare to somebody like Cara though, at least not for me. I adore Cara and her pure devotion to R and K.

And now I have to leave in about 15 minutes, so I came to check my messages I'm on page 111 or so. Everyone keeps saying how great this book is, but I just keep wondering when something is going to happen (besides the same prophecies over and over)!

I'm assuming so lol. But I was surprised to look at the book while I held my spot open and see how far in 111 pages actually is. Surprised that I had read that much, actually, cause it didn't seem like anything had happened in all those pages! A few prophecies, an explanation of the library catalogue thing, Cara and Ben's reception thing, and a few more prophecies from that weird (but funny) woman.

But TG has never let me down yet

Can't you? That's surprising, I thought it was one of the better ones! Does it simply bore you? The ones that I couldn't stand were Soul of the Fire (5th) and Pillars of Creation (7th), the latter being the absolute worst. Both had very little to do with Richard and Kahlan, and I just didn't care to read stories about new folks I had nothing invested in. I read them only so I wouldn't miss something if it came up in later books, but I did not very much enjoy them because I spent the whole time looking for Richard and Kahlan.
