Description
Colored version of [link]I admit I have no idea how to use proper watercolor painting technique. >_< I used it like I was painting with acrylic.
Fiddled with in Photoshop, played with curves and color balance.

Graceling belongs to Kristin Cashore

I absolutely adore Graceling. You've done a great job in my opinion.
(P.S. I don't like most of the fanart of seen for this series so far only because most of them aren't how I imagine the characters, but this one is fantastic and reminds me of how I imagined them.)

Ooh sorry for the late reply xD I was away from the internet for a while there haha! Anyway--AWESOME!! I know you'll love it! I actually haven't read Bitterblue yet, I heard mixed reviews... please let me know what you think though ovo And... are you going to do fanart for the series?!

aaaand darn it. Turns out my library doesn't have Bitterblue after all. I don't exactly have money to burn at the moment, so I guess I'll have to wait and borrow it from someone else. Might be awhile before I read it

I really liked Fire! You were right...it was SO different from Graceling, but equally enjoyable. It was almost like Kristin Cashore took the idea of a "super beautiful Mary Sue" to its logical conclusion, and showed how miserable it would be if you were actually so physically attractive that everyone went after you. The 2nd half of the book was especially good; the author acknowledged so many sad, simple truths of wartime in particular and the human condition in general. She has such a knack for capturing the pain and sadness of love and the fear of losing the people you care about. I also think Cashore is great at writing child characters; often times in fantasy books the kids annoy me, but Bitterblue from Graceling and Brigan's daughter from Fire were both very likeable (and baby Leck was appropriately terrifying).
I'll let you know what I think of Bitterblue after I finish. I'm not sure about fanart for the series...for some reason I often imagine characters looking different from how they are described in the text, so it's difficult for me to draw them without irritating other fans

I've read the book, so now I know who everyone is. Katsa Kicks Butt! Though I can't help think about what she would do in the Hunger Games( reading one book almost right after the other + similar heroine names = crossover) Also, Po is cool and Bitterblue is really neat. And Tamora Pierce liked it, so that makes it awesome-er!

The news of Fire being dark skinned got me thinking. Don't the Leinid people have dark skin too? Maybe that's just my imagination, but I always pictured them that way. Like a Jamaican-looking kind of people.

I think you're right. I hadn't read Graceling in a while when I drew and colored this (I had borrowed the book from a friend). I just bought it a few weeks ago though and, having read through it a second time, realized I got almost everyone's colors wrong here. Haha. Oops. Just means I have to draw them again!
