Description Since I was on the topic of dandy's... thought I might as well draw me own dandy chara, Kizil/Krimzi seen here in uncharacteristic contemplation. Otherwise he can be quite hyper, extravagant and has difficulty minding his own business (like this -> .)

He's can be quite the paradox too, crude/refined, healer/killer etc. The latter has to do with a magical property his blood possesses...It can restore life (under certain conditions). A side effect of this rare condition is bloodlust . Fortunately for him he usually takes it out on black magicians, necromancers and others after his blood/life.

You could say he has a 'ganguro' fashion sense XD

Yapping aside, he's one of my oldest characters(creation wise). I haven't posted a decent picture of him in ages mostly because he just didn't come out right. I'm satisfied with this though. And I can't seem pick out any proportional mistakes *blind*, if you see something funny, please point it out.

Oh yeah, that isn't blood on his dagger, it's the red reflected off his clothes... but it's supposed to look like blood XD

Watercolors, cheap color pencils on horrible sketchbook paper (again!).

Interesting and beautiful, love the colouring the light is very well controlled and the richness of the colours and the reflection of the red very nicely done..... hmmmmm........ seems like an evil plot has been formed...... love the details the entire scene somehow reminds me of Prince of Persia and of Mozenrath

The shiny, pastelly colors are so beautiful! And I like the pose. I always sit like that in class, but most of my teachers rag on me about it.

After spending the past two days admiring Mr. Random Dandy, just when I was about to fav him this popped up! I love these new watercolorey pics you're coming up with! It's so gorgeously sketchy (even the paint seems to be er.. 'sketchy', yet detailed at the same time. Em... like how it actually looks like Krimzi is wearing silks? Wai..! I love love all those shades!

(Mweh heh... looks like someone might get stabbed soon)

(But why do I prefer Azraq to him? Maybe it's because he seems too er.. hyper bloody? [Ofcourse Azraq might be like that too... since all I know about him is from the random things you put up ])

*is too lazy to comment on the others. The most admired Mr. Dandy gets ignored once more.*

merriya In reply to Yakra [2007-08-07 08:07:30 +0000 UTC]

Whee, thank you

I'm glad it looks like silk, I had no specific fabric in mind, just wanted it to look expensive... (considering this persons spendthriftness). The bloodlust isn't something he can't control, it surfaces mostly when he's mortally threatened... Otherwise he usually comes across as an overdressed, loud mouthed, aristocrat who'd faint at the sight of blood -_-.

Now Azraq might be the sort who'd faint at the sight of blood... but he's faaaar more destructive, especially considering he has little control over his abilities -_-...

Hehe, take your time with commenting... no worries!

Yakra In reply to merriya [2007-08-07 11:44:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh meh... I had no idea this comment even got posted! DA went 'blah! not posted!' at me and I went off in a huff at losing a comment.

Yip, yip, it does look like silk, or at least some expensive material which give off those gorgeous rich shines! (I love the colors of the belt especially? )

Really? Somehow, I don't know why, he always came across as very loud and.. almost violent from your piccies. Maybe it was his hyper expressions? There is something about Azraq that seems almost... Rincewind-ish.

Ofcourse I realized I probably like him loads because of the blue! XD

merriya In reply to Yakra [2007-08-11 07:02:38 +0000 UTC]

DA does that to me too! (it's devoured over a thousand of my comments anyway! )

But he is loud and violent (Mostly... he can be the opposite too). Leave it to me to bring out the worst in all my characters .

I want more Terry Pratchett books! (never ordered the ones from the site -_- (which ones is he in again?))

Yakra In reply to merriya [2007-08-11 12:16:20 +0000 UTC]

Yip, yip. And because of DA's devouring tendencies, I at times don't end up commenting at all. >_> *excuse! XD*

I had them all soooo... (...and no credit card..!)

Rincewind? Let's see from what I randomly remember - The Color of Magic, Light Fanatastic, Sourcery (though I can't remeber the story anymore..?), Eric, Interesting Times (I LOVE this one! ), the Last Continent, The Last Hero (okie... this has to be the most amazing, prettiest book ever! @_@ ). I might have missed some. Oh, he's in the latest book I'm reading too - Science of the Discworld, part III. This has to be the most boring Discworld book I've ever read.

I have to send you more books!

Excellent! :3 *wishes all these would materialize in front of her*

Aah, you don't have to send them... but I was wondering... where do you get them from again? (I think you told me...but... I'm kinda amnesic XD)

Yakra In reply to merriya [2007-08-16 10:24:01 +0000 UTC]

*tries to make them materialize*

I usually get them from this old book shop near Saeed Book Bank here. He's starting to take orders from me now. (has promised shall get me Making Money [or whatever it's called X'D] the moment its released?). Most of the ones Rincewind I got though were collected through scavenging through various old bookshops over the ages.

(I noticed some Terry Pratchett books at airport bookshops?! Maybe they're available in Lahore now too?)
