Description
Characters: Durza the Shade and AryaFrom: Eragon
Yes once again uploading my homework. *laughs* I was able to complete this one this evening. Hooray! 10 more to go.
Anyway, I sort of took on the idea the movie had for Durza, I thought his costume was really cool. As for Arya... I thought that the movie version wasn't very good. Personally... I like my elves to have pointy ears... So yay!
As for the scene, well this is the opening chapter for those of you who don't know, where the Shade captures Arya (like the title)
The most difficult part of this had to be the fire. I must have spent most of my time working on those flames. I think it turned out nice though, so I guess it was worth it.
Materials: Drawn by hand with an HB pencil, and colored in Corel Painter 8.
Time taken: About 5 - 6 hours. I think I am getting faster.

*claps for Durza*
I've never bothered looking for Eragon fanarts... I figured most of it would be based around the movie. And the movie was crap (No offense to those who like it... but.. whatever). But I'm glad I stumbled upon this! I absolutely love your style, and I'm delighted to feast my eyes on your work.
O.o wow. I just did a quick search to see what other Durza work I could find (I'll admit, I'm a bit of a fangirl), and yours by far, is the best I've seen. ^^

Wait, I meant that last comment in a good way O.O Sorry.

Durza in this picture reaaally reminds me of Genkaku from Deadman Wonderland.

I've never seen that before, but thanks.

That is a really good picture of Durza! I love his smile, and his hair, and his clothes... well, pretty much everything! Those flames are really amazing too! Durza really should have been hotter in the movie. I always loved him as a bad guy, one of my favorite bad guys (at least the version of him in the book, the movie was very much sub-par....) He was a terrifying bad guy and the final battle between him and Eragon at the end of the first book was awesome! I often read the chapter where he interrogates Eragon in Gil'ead twice whenever I read the book.
Long story short, I

Thank you very much! I am actually looking into maybe redoing a few of my Eragon pieces. We will see what I have time for, but I glad you still appreciate the older works.

You're welcome! I just wish I could draw as good even as your "older pieces."

The fire is brilliant - Durza looks really, really, really good too. I honestly can't believe you did this all in five hours.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well there is actually a funny story behind that. I actually worked on it for about 8 hours, but it didn't save properly and so I had to redo the last four hours of work an hour before the project was due.
Thanks for the comment.

Oh dear, you poor poor thing! I hate it when that happens. Well, it turned out excellently, that's for sure.
I try to comment on everything I like (and I definitely like this) - I've started a campaign for more comments! I'm hoping some day it'll come back around to me
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ha ha! Yeah I was pretty stressed, but luckily I had a really nice teacher back then and he let me present my art last so I could finish up.
And I think that's a wonderful campaign, I wish you luck. More people need to comment more often.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well that was nice. Is your present one not so grand?
Why thank you! People really do. Pass it on!

It sort of annoys me that Arya has brown hair, but it's still a great job. I think the movie's interpretation of Durza was the only somewhat right thing they did.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
...For some reason, I really like your Durza. Which should be wrong - he's the villain...

Arya's hair is black, but the rest of the picture is amazing! Do more like this one.

I dunno how you did it but Durza looks freakin' sexy XDDDDDDDDDDD
Great job, I really like this one. The angle is perfect
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Ohh, thank you for creating this.
This is by far the best thing of Durza I have found. Much closer to my vision of Durza than anything else. Only I picture him being much paler and having longer hair. And without the things on his face.
Mmm..sexy, amazing Durza..
I LOVE DURZA SO MUCH.
Thank you for this.
I wish I had discovered it earlier.
*bows down to you*

I thought that Arya has black ringlets, or?

You did this in Painter? I thought it was colored pencils!

Arya actually had black hair, but I adore your depiction of Durza!

This is really awsome! Nice job! The flames are really cool. And I like your version of Aria is better then the movie's. Elves need pointy ears.

๐: 0 โฉ: 0
The flames sure look great, this sort of reminds of this one scene in Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children but enough of that..
It has obviously been too long since I read Eldest as I can't recall the characters too clearly but I have always imagined Durza a bit.. uglier. Even so he sure does look evil, which is great. (oh how lame I sound.. x3)
Oh and I really like what you've done with Arya! The photos I've seen from the movie, no no, that was more like a cheap (and blonde) version of Arwen. Prefer your a whole lot and yay for pointy ears! Plus I really like her hair and clothes.
Waiting for more.

Ooooo...Durza looks really cooool....

I like the way you created the flames in the background, and the characters look awesome too.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Looks awesome, love the fire. I tried to do a comic book version of the last battle for a story class one time.... I can't wait to see the rest of these. I agree, Arya in the movie was fail.

Thank you Seifer! XD When reading Eragon I always imagined Durza was pretty good looking, compared to the movie anyway... I'd have to say I like the way you pictured him out to be alot better! XD

*laughs* You and me both... I always thought Durza should be hot.
Thanks for the comment.

Exactly! Bad guys usually are hot. It's damn true... It's like a bad ripple affect... Damn people make hot bad guys look better then the good guys, so you can't help but love them even though you REALLY should hate them.. >_< Curse such...horrid logic...

*laughs* It's awful. You want to hate them but their pretty face tempts you to the dark side! *laughs* I think people do it on purpose.
