Description
I've been rereading the Circle of Magic books and ugh I forgot how much I love Lark and Rosethorn. Rosie especially, but I really really really enjoy their relationship and how well Tamora Pierce portrayed it.I've been sketching them a lot and I was rather pleased with this one so here it is.
Rosethorn hates hugs. Unless they're from Lark.

//my bad, disregard my last comment since I hadn't seen this image yet 
it's hard to find fantasy stuff that isn't full of het sex, TBH. Or at least it was for me and so I gave up reading anything b/c I'm too picky. If i wanted to read a romance novel I'd read a ROMANCE NOVEL. //minirant

lol!
yeah i would always recommend Tamora Pierce. she does such a good job with her female characters
it really is, though, it's so hard to find good fantasy

Hm that's probably why I switched to a lot of anime or manga. Easier to find at least a few that don't entirely center around romance crap, but you can still get the fantasy or sci-fi elements. Maybe I just had bad luck with trying to read fiction. I think the last fiction book I really enjoyed was House of Leaves (some dumb ex-friend borrowed it from me and never gave it back, FML) The only other recent fiction I remember reading was Atwood's Oryx and Crake, and I found it underwhelming at best. I used to read Charles de Lint, but I liked his short fiction better than his novels. I stopped right in the middle of one and never picked it back up after I realized I didn't give a frack if the characters lived or died. (That said, he wrote better female characters than the majority of male writers I read at the time)
I'll have to check the used bookstore for these next time I go...

lol i've gotten to the point where I tend to read mostly female authors because i don't trust the way men write women. and i just got back into reading fiction now that i graduated. i do suggest you check out Tamora Pierce though

I cannot tell you how happy this made me. I am a huge fan of (mostly) all the Pierce books, and was so surprised when I saw this in your gallery when I was only looking for LoK stuff. YAY LESBIANS IN YOUNG ADULT LIT. also, this is adorable. Rosethorn not being abrasive...

it makes me happy to see another fan! it's such a small fandom for the CoM books, and there's hardly any art for Lark and Rosethorn. i just love them so much and thank you so much!

Personally I like them more than the Tortall universe, but it seems that I am the only one with that preference. oh well. I have never actually looked for art/lit of the CoM stuff, but currently I am lurking through your fanfic on your tumblr (not a stalker by the way). but anywho! keep at it! all the cute fluff just makes me smile

i share that preference. i like the Tortall universe, but the CoM books and characters capture me more, somehow. it might be because there's not a character in the world i love more than Rosethorn, idk.
awesome!i love when people read my stuff!

Agreed, well and the general idea of ambient magic. I don't know, toph and lin are pretty great....
Also, do you plan on continuing your TyZula fanfic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rosethorn and Lin are tied. I can't chose between them.
I want to. I haven't had any inspiration for it though in a while. i don't want to be one of those authors who leave things unfinished
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you do have a metric fuck ton of fan art of lin ( not that i am complaining)
ah, well, dont want to be one of those authors that just runs a good idea into the ground. But I do hope you find some inspiration, because incomplete fanfics are becoming the bane of my existence.

lol yeah i really enjoy drawing her!
oh i know. i hate that a lot of the really great fanfics are like never updated and i hate that i've done that to my readers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually you have really inspired me to start drawing again. I really just want to make fun cartoony things of lin and other LoK characters. WHY ARE FACES SO HARD??? but she seems like a really fun and distinctive character to draw.
for shame, for shame.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's awesome!!! i love to hear that!!!!
Lin took me a while to get down right, but she's so much fun!

yeah, I am always amazed by how you draw expressions and character interactions. Your anatomy isnt perfect ( I use to be very focused on body/figure drawing), but the positioning is very natural and I really just want to be able to draw that as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
expressions are always fascinating for me to draw

they are so hard! do you have any tips besides practice?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
study. look at faces, and study them and look at other artists and animation especially. and yes, practice practice practice.

Circle of magic? Good series, something you'd recommend? Fantasy, maybe?
Anyhow, really nice picture. It looks really sweet.

and thank you!

How long? Book series, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh there are..... ten books total, I think. Two sets of four, and then two stand alones.
the books in the sets of four are only about 200 pages each. easy reads.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. That does sound like a serious book series. How's the writing, in your opinion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's aimed at a younger audience, so the writing is simple, and it's an easy read, but it is good writing. i am fond of how the author handles the characters, especially the female ones.

I shall keep this in mind, then. Was it called "circle of mages"?
