Description
The madness will end when these requests are over, I promise. I usually don't update this often (people tend to stop commenting and ignore me).This is for , who wanted Aly and Nawat from Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce. I've never read the book, but thanks to my roommate, who HAD read it, I was able to get the clothes right. Aly is a maid, and I was drawing her as an English maid. Michelle told me that she was indeed an Indian-like maid. Ooookay. So I changed that.
Anyone read the book other than her? I personally don't care for Tamora Pierce. But I liked drawing this because it reminds me of Kartik and Gemma (FYI, they apparently are NOT Kartik and Gemma, but you could have fooled me).
I like the crow the most. That's what happens when you use references. Which I usually don't.
Why the crow? Apparently Nawat is a crow who can turn into a man. That's why.

Kartik is from A Great and Terrible Beauty, if you've ever heard of it

I think I subconsciously make everyone look like Gemma and Kartik. >_<

I thought it was gemma and Kartik and then I thought Wow Gemma's hair isn't red anymore and then I read the description box.

That's pretty much what everyone else thought to.
'Sokay, though.

Haha. Pretty picture(:

When I first looked at it , I was like "yay another kartik pic but who is the girl" . Then I read what you wrote and it made sence

Yeah, I subconsciously make everyone look like Kartik. 0_0 (Though to be fair, the description is just like him).

I dont blame you, Kartik is the best
I want to read the book now because of the guy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would too if I hadn't already tried and failed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really how come?
Is the story not interesting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. I got to page ten and got confused by all the technical terms. You know how some hard core fantasies are. 
But that's just me. All my other watchers claimed to like it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhhh those kind of stories...
It takes a lot of my energy to pay attention to the story but once it gets to the action, I'm good. But I prefer stories that immediately start with dialogue and discrib everything at the same time. WAY for interesting

you drew them both beautifully. (I've never read the book, but I know a bit about art.) Love the expressions.

You need to come up with more original comments. :/
Or you need to calm those hormones down.

this is my favorite tamora peirce book! well worth reading if you have the time! i love it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I tried reading it two years ago and couldn't get past page ten. Too many technical terms. But I'm not a fantasy guru to begin with, unless it's vampires.
Nawat seems like a lot of fun anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nawat rocks my socks! if i remember right the first chapter in the first book is all fantasy history stuff- i just skipped it because it was so dry. but after that the story starts and that's pretty good! i too, am not a big fan of the fantasy genre in general.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I probably should have just skipped the first chapter. Oh well.
I guess the "traditional" fantasies don't appeal to me because they usually follow the same formula. The main character must go on some sort of quest to attain/protect something and then they get into all these adventures along the way. I just can't get into something like that.

yeah, i definantly agree with you. the hero cycle, something i had to learn about in the english class from hell...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The hero cycle. I'll remember that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its an actual thing that some guy came up with. beowulf and most epic stories follow it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I like to compare it to the formula used in romances. They generally have a formula, then plug events into it until they have a story. I prefer fantasies that AREN'T about some quest. It's too overdone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe, my fave plot ever...NOT!!! guy meets girl- guy gets girl- guy loses girl- guy gets girl. SOOO overused
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I know. XP And there's always the plot in which the guy spends the whole book/movie chasing after one girl and then realizes he's in love with her best friend. *sigh*

*rolls eyes*
couldn't agree more!

wow, it sounds like i like tamora peirce, well thats not true actually... i dont really like her other writing at all but these books (there's a sequel) are better. in my opinion, sorry- i'll shut up now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh yeah! I did read that book many a year ago!
Nawat is HILARIOUS.
"Girls are like crows! Girls like shiny things!"
XD
Good times.
Anyways, great job! The crow is especially quite fabulous
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I probably would have liked Nawat if I made it past ten page of the book, which I couldn't. Too many technical terms. But that's Tamora Pierce for you.
I like crows, but not because they're shiny. It's because they freak everyone else out.
Thanks! Yes, the crow is the best part, I believe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yay, someone else who likes it
Nawat is SO AWESOME
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I have read the book, and I actually liked it. It does look right, but I think Aly's clothes are supposed to be more Carribean slave than Indian maid. I really think the crow and Nawat look great though.

Oops. Well, I could only go on what my roommate told me. So I'll have to explain to why it's a little messed up.
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's still awesome, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Before i read the AC I was just asking myself "Why does Gemma have short hair..."
Then you explained. And all was well.
I haven't read the books but I do like the picture. And I really really like the chick's outfit. (chick? wtf?) And her hip muscle line thingie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I had problems disassociating Nawat with Kartik too. Hell, they could be the same guy. No one knows. 
Hip muscle line thingie. I love your specifics.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Success indeed.
And my specifics are what brought me my fame... that exists only in my head.
