Description I wanted to color, so I drew these two, from my favorite books when I was in middle school- "The Immortals Quartet" by Tamora Pierce.

I must have read them a million times.

I kind of want to send this to her, because seriously, these books were a gigantic influence on me and she's kind of my hero. Does anyone know how to go about sending things to authors? Is it a total freakish and creepy thing to do?

BY THE WAY GUYS I KNOW DAINE'S HAND IS TINY. I JUST DON'T WANT TO FIX IT.

You did him dark! Yes, thank you! I know she never really comes out and says it but he IS Carthaki, and they are dark skinned. But otherwise this is lovely!

You could to her official site (you can type tamora pierce into google), and she has her contact info on there. She also givies a list of what she will and will not look at. Good luck! This is beautiful!

PS: Daine's hand isn't all that small.

Oh, I actually mailed it to her through her publisher ages ago, she received it and e-mailed me back telling me that she enjoyed it. Awesome!

If you ever find how to send fanart to her, I would love to know! I've been comtemplating sending her my fanarts as well XD

I gave Brian Jacques a picture I drew back in elementary school at a booksigning of his and he loved it XD So if it's creepy - I've already done it lol.

this is aweosme! daine is beautiful in your style!

I've been on a hunt for Daine/Numair fanart and voila! This is absolutely gorgeous. I love Daine's hair and freckles. Her hair is just PERFECT. Just as I imagined it. Same for Numair's hair.

Oh and your coloring is awesome too
I wish I were capable of digital art D:

Their height bothers me (wasn't Numair supposed to practically tower over her?), but that's about it. And hands are hard by rights.

BUT YAY! SOMEONE WHO REMEMBERS NUMAIR'S PROPER SKIN COLOR!!!!

You win so hard just for that.

Well, I tried to draw her around 20-25 ish, so I drew her taller. And...uh...she's standing on Kitten. >_>

oddrikku12 [2007-12-20 19:34:50 +0000 UTC]

Total and complete love for this picture.

I'm just amazed how well drawn this is. The coloring is very nice as well.

Hey, maybe Daine was just stuck in mouse mode, her hand not completly grown back to size yet. It's be like Numair to just grab Daine after she was off in her own little animal world.

Kunoichi-Mandi [2007-11-12 12:41:32 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous picture! I don't think Daine's head is tiny at all.

Dude, those books are the BEST. I must have read them like, 4 times.

the is fabulous, probably one of the better Immortals fanarts I've seen. The costuming and detail are very nice! I hope you do get it to Tamora, she'd probably be tickled. ^^

Awww, thanks! I hope she gets it too- although I'm not really expecting a response, I'm sure she's a very busy lady.

yeah she probably is pretty busy, I kinda hope she would be busy working on that Numair story she's talked about for so long on her upcoming works page lol

Could send her an email but I'm sure she has some kind of generated response now that her fanbase is so large.

Looks great, though!! I loved this series as well and I hope you find a way to show her.

lauramw In reply to hudster [2007-09-12 00:27:02 +0000 UTC]

I sent it by mail to the publishers, actually. Hopefully it will reach her! I really wanted to avoid e-mail because I had a vision of it ending up at the bottom of a giant pile of "OMG WHEN IS X GOING TO BE OUT?!?!" e-mails.

Inazuma-zumie [2007-09-11 12:29:49 +0000 UTC]

Aww, Daine and Numair! *coos* It's been forever since I read those books!

Only way I can think of getting that to her is going to a booksigning and showing her, or maybe heading over to the Sheroes website and forum.
