Description I really don't know where all this Animorphs fanart is coming from. I should be working on my own stories.

Aldrea and Dak. My favorite couple in the Animorphs universe by far. My heart ached for them both when I read their book at like age 13. I think Dak's telling her a story, and she's probably half-listening to his voice and half to his heart(s?)beat. (I don't remember if Hork-Bajir had more than one heart.)

I realized a little late that Dak has too many fingers/toes. Screw it!! I think only three fingers/toes looks goofy anyway.
I cleverly hid most of Aldrea's hand in Dak's armpit... ehehehehehe.

The primary purpose of this was to fart around with my markers/colored pencils. I like how it turned out, but it's kind of a lot to look at... I need to work on my skills. I kinda figured it out as I went... little sloppy in some places. Probably would have been less so if I hadn't done it all in one sitting... my hand was aching by the end of it. Still took me forever. And the scanner still dulled the colors considerably.

If I do not get a job this summer (grr economy), I was thinking I might do commissions again-- once I figure out how people should pay me and how to get them prints of the piece (I know there's a Kinko's around here somewhere). If those things ever happen, would anyone be interested in a piece something like this? And what would you be willing to pay for it?

Art's mine, characters are K.A. Applegate's. I wish she'd let me have them.

Also sorry for dumb title.

There's more Animorphs fanart? Oh, joy! Please, work on your own stories, we all need to do those things, but please, looking at how sweet these two look, and being a fellow Animorphs fan I can't wait to see what comes next. Ever consider Visser One's romance during her early years on earth with the twins? Elfangor & Loren? Maybe even some ideas of Ellimist in his Ketran form?

My favorite book in the whole series. (It also has some of the best cover art, if not THE best.) I love the relationship of Aldrea and Dak.

Touching picture. Eh, who pays attention to finger quantity anyway?

Agreed--I feel like mediocre effort was put into most of the covers for Animorphs but they really outdid themselves with this book!

God I loved the Hork-Bajir Chronicles. It's very loyal to the appearance of the characters esp from the cover illustrations. Dak and Aldrea make my heart break, but they are still my OPT, other than Rachel/Tobias. Great job

Animorphs NEVER really got the public attention it deserved, IMO. If someone would resurrect the idea of a show (and not make it terrible) I think some serious money could be made!
Glad you liked.

I know. My sweetheart and I both read the series in middle school and loved it. Dunno why it wasn't more popular around then. Oh well. I kinda, secretly want to make a really cool animated series someday. But I need training first.

EEE this is amazing! I love your interpetation of Dak. Most of the time people just draw them like the covers... you put your own twist, I like it! And I like his feet and Aldrea's stalk eyes. They're swoopy. 8D

Good job with the colors, too!

I did a Dak and Aldrea pic FOREVARS ago... actually, it was my first DA upload... I should do a new one.

Haha, that always disappointed me when I looked up Animorphs fanart... that if there even was any it was usually copied straight from the cover of a book. I guess most Animorphs fans were 12ish or so and I totally was idealless myself at 12.

Thanks!! I'm glad you liked the style!
