Description "Now I set myself down on the hard-packed earth so's my back leans against Lugh's. I like it when we sit like this. I can feel his voice rumble inside my body when he talks. It must of bin like this when the two of us was inside Ma's belly together. Esseptin that neether of us could talk then, of course."

(Dust Lands, 1st chap [link] )

I got a lot of really cool books for christmas. At the moment I'm reading "Dust Lands: Blood Red Road" by Moira Young which has definitely captured me already after the first lines. It's different, very exciting and emotional.

And it reminds me a bit of Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games series. So if you loved that books I'm pretty sure you will also love this one!

was listening to this epic song by Vitaliy Zavadskyy while I was drawing - he was writing it for the Hunger Games series but I think the atmosphere also fits so so well to "Dust Lands": [link]

btw burdge-bug inspired my art style but this time I didn't use any reference from her. Yay, I'm proud now!

THIS IS SERIOUSLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS! Thank you so much for drawing fanart for it because no one ever does!
I love how you drew both of them, they look almost exactly how I pictured them, especially Saba. You draw really amazing crows too. Love it!

Schnatz In reply to Xavryn [2011-12-30 19:34:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! That totally made my day!
I'm glad you like my version of Saba and Lugh (and Nero, of course).
I'm only halfway through the 1st book but I'm so inspired, so I'm pretty sure I'll draw some more fanarts for this book!

Xavryn In reply to Schnatz [2011-12-30 19:42:21 +0000 UTC]

You're so welcome! When I saw the title "Midwinter Twins" I was crossing my fingers and hoping it was fanart for this book
They're all great! Maybe we can see some Jack from you?
I've only read the first one, and you're write, it has so many fanart-able parts! I can't wait to see more, your style is lovely!

Schnatz In reply to Xavryn [2011-12-30 19:47:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I will definitely draw Jack, he's so smexy, isn't he? *ggg*
And I want to draw Saba and Emmi and Saba when she's fighting! Perhaps some Hawks, too ... we'll see! I have not that much time at the moment to be honest.

Xavryn In reply to Schnatz [2011-12-30 19:50:40 +0000 UTC]

LOL Jack is a smexy beast I love him so much!
I drew Saba and Emmi, but that was so long ago... They're really fun because they hate each other, haha.
OH do the Hawks! Those girls are so badass!

Schnatz In reply to Xavryn [2011-12-30 19:55:44 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you are really motivating! Now I feel like I have to draw Jack and Hawks by now! Perhaps you will see some more Dust Lands fanart sooner than we both thought! Haha!

wait a mom, I'll have a quick look at your Emmi and Saba!

Xavryn In reply to Schnatz [2011-12-30 20:07:48 +0000 UTC]

Ew, please don't look at that. I've gone through, like, three styles since then
You're not the only motivated one! I want to go draw more Dustlands too now...
Well, I'm excited for some more from you! And especially if it's of Jack

Schnatz In reply to Xavryn [2011-12-30 20:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Too late! ^-^

Well, then let's both go and draw, and when I say this I mean NOW! Deal?

Seems like you still have to wait a bit longer till my next Dustlands fanart comes out. I tried my best to be fast ... but I didn't get the characters good/right enough to post them; and now I can't draw for a while because I have too much to do with uni work.
But make sure to keep an eye out for Dustlands fanart in February!

btw did you draw some new fanart for Dustlands? I mean, you wanted to draw something, too, didn't you?

Xavryn In reply to Schnatz [2012-01-06 23:57:45 +0000 UTC]

Awwn, that's too bad! Oh well, I'll be waiting

I was going to... but the characters kept coming out not how I planned them too, so in the end it was kind of bad.

Yeah, it does seem that way I'll try again soon though.
