Description My entry for contest "Picture yourself".
EDIT : This piece won the first place in the contest

21X29,7, pencils, pastels, watercolor and markers

I decided to picture myself with some of the characters of my novels, because I think they are part on myself. Each one is a kind of double of me.

So, you can admire first my lovely couch and a part of my "lovely" flat.
As you probably noticed, I'm the one dressed in black drawing. around me, you can see some faber castel pencils and pastels, some tria markers and china ink pen.
the characters, for left to right are
Faloum the Fierce Feline
Liashee
Imia
Moondream
Mélusine Andumayar
The Guide (No picture yet)


Hope you will like it

This piece fills me with happiness. I too feel that my characters are as much a legitimate part of my soul and as real as this lifetime. Without them I would be lost!

Thanks a lot I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to have this relationship with my characters

yes, so often I hear writers say their characters bear no relation to them (which I do not believe). It is nice to see someone who is proud of the important people in their lives, invisible though they may be ...

What a great little concept! It is so fitting; I think a little bit of us always ends up into each character we create.
Best of luck with the contest!

C'est pas faux ! Alors continuons donc notre conversation.^^
Est-ce que tu travailles parfois avec de l'aquarelle, pas les crayons, mais de la vraie aquarelle ? X3

sombrefeline In reply to Menestria [2008-09-06 06:57:22 +0000 UTC]

oui j'utilise de temps en temps l'aquarelle pour une oeuvre particulière ([link] ou [link] ). Mais là, je suis en train de bosser sur un dessin où j'ai mélangé pas mal de technique, notamment l'aquarelle pour le décor. je vais essayer de mettre ça rapidement en ligne

Et chacune, à tour de rôle, ont glissé un regard tout à la fois attentif, bienveillant et intéressé sur la tisseuse de vie.
Car il en était ainsi, ses doigts sculptaient, étirant, rassemblant, insufflant vie à l'inanimé.
En retour, d'autres touches de vie colorées faisaient leur apparition dans son existence.

Ainsi la Tisseuse était dans ses créations et ses créations portaient immanquablement sa patte.
