Description A third edition to the Ember Series I'm creating. ^^ Was pushed to finish the piece by the song, "Aristocrat's Symphony" by Versailles. Guys, check out this band. It is BOSS.

Just a side note- sorry about the ugly watermark. It's really ugly. ._.
I have to say, this one, though it's not as detailed as the others, is my absolute favorite. The character, unlike the other two, is actually a current character of mine being used for several literary pieces, though I won't post his name and history up for privacy purposes. But I adore him to bits, and have been drawing him for years without any satisfaction regarding a job well done in the end, so I'm immensely proud of myself for getting him out onto paper, er...Photoshop. ^_^

please don't apologize about the watermark you're just protecting what's yours, plain and simple and the rest of us better understand that.

This piece and many of your others are so full of vibrant coloring and shading, love all the details, this is a well put together piece.

Seriously, watermarks confuse me too. I find myself going 'why is this so huge and right in the middle. I don't like this!' And since I'm quite sure no one is going to steal my art, I just don't bother. They annoy me. I see some people have figured out how to make their own watermarks, which is often times a LOT better than the dA default one. But I have no clue either.
Still... some pretty nice man abs just the same.

BEAUTIFUL! Where/when will the literary pieces be available? I've always been more of a novel/book person than a manga/comic person, so I'd love to read your literature.

TheGuardianDragon In reply to Phaewryn [2011-01-27 04:09:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! ^^ And hopefully within the next couple years...there's just a LOT going on in the storyline, and I'm stuck as to how to organize it into 3 or 4 consecutive novels. Crossing my fingers that I get some luck in the literary department. ^_^

Phaewryn In reply to TheGuardianDragon [2011-01-27 22:52:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, one does not have to stick to linear time lines in series novels. I rather like books in series that happen during the same time frame, but are completely different stories due to being told from different character's points of view. Those are always interesting, because you can develop the characters and the world/society so much deeper when you approach it from various angles/viewpoints and/or classes of society.
