Description
Little Fanart for Mercedes Lackeys "Last Herald Mage" stories...Sorry, I know I`m behind with artwork for others, but with all the stress at work I HAD to do something for myself or I would have gone crazy.
This picture is a scene from the 2nd book. I know that he`s supposed to be 28 at this time... I know he probably looks to young... but if you see the pictures on the covers I think it fits
Valdir aka Vanyel is Β© by Mercedes Lackey

Really cool man, I like your spin on Valdir. and yes it fits, but *Dramatic Duh duh duuuuuuuh* the outfit and tavern look alittle new and too clean tofit with the scruffy minstrel Valdir. But overall you got the the scene down pat. nice work

Maybe a bit bright for Van's alter personality as Valdir, but hey - it's up to the fans how to interpret it, right? Right. I think it looks awesome. The look on his face is gorgeous.

Lovely image...and if you remeber how magic affect the body in those books, he SHOULD still look younger than her is. ^-^

Hehe! I love this picture. And I love that you remembered the white in his hair. It seems like all of the art I've seen of him around this time keeps his plain black hair. But the book says that his hair is so white by this point that he's often mistaken for an old man until they see his young face. It bugs me that people leave that out.

Beautiful. Love his hair, and patched clothes, and the glow from the fire... and I particularly love the lute, since I can't draw musical instruments. ^.^
Now you've made me want to go re-read the Last Herald-Mage series.

...Wow, the colours are soo great. And all the details on his outfit, his instrument, the background... are very impressive. You have even done the spectators!
So I guess it will be another fav ^^

Thank you so much hon ^,^
His outfit was quite a challenge especially because I never ever draw pants in different colours... but it seemed fitting for a minstrel

Very lovely, I think I like the pose of the legs(and the boots especially) the most, you did wonderful on it. And the details of the rest of the pic, like the partial painting and the cobblestone floor turned out beautiful hon. Great to see a bit of work from you.

I love the details; the fireplace, the fire, the light created by the fire, the stone floor. And I think you did a great job with his clothes too!

Yay!! Out of all the Valdemar books/trilogies The Last Herald Mage is my favorite. I also think it was the first ones I read of the series and continues to be my favorite books of all time. It also made me look into Lackey more which I am forever greatful for she's my favorite author in practically anything she writes. (Including the newest Ill Met By Moonlight). Awesome job!! I love it.

Oh, Vanyel's in a few of the other ones don't worry. *grins* He makes a somewhat appearance in the Queen's Own Trilogy and then DOES make an appearance in the Mage Wars (?) Trilogy. The one with Elspeth, but you have to read Queen's Own to understand the Mage Wars. In fact, you pretty much just need to read Queen's Own because after that Trilogy, all the rest make referances to what happened and the characters in that Trilogy. I'll shut up now, cause I'll end up babbling on forever about all her books. *grins*

*lol* Well, if he DOES make an appeareance in other books I`ll probably start reading them, just to find him *lol* Well, so I would have to read Queen`s Own next... right?
Ok and now I`ll sound like a stupid yaoi fangirl and I`m already sorry for this, but is The last herald mage... the only book with Shaych characters or does the other books have this topic as well?? *hides now all embarrased*

It's the only trilogy with shaych characters as the main focus, yes. But in the Mage Wars Trilogy, I believe (haven't read them in a while) that one of the supporting characters is shaych. And don't be embarassed, I understand. *grins*
