Description My second picture for black Egg, this one on poster board which is why my scanner munched out some of the lines on the Illithids Cape. *mutters at the Scanner* Man this took forever, but I'm quite proud of it, and I personaly beleive that Black and White art can stand on it's own, even scanner chewed, which is why it's in the gallery instead of my Scrapbook.
The top corner is The Paladin (who's name I just forgot) The Ranger (who doesn't have a name) And Shiruk and Phaere. Shiruk has his arm entertwined with Lyrael the Teifling, who is on the arm of Jaraxle aka Jon Tully, the new unamed character is in the corner right, and in the corner left is Seoras Trygg, the Illithid.
The picture is largely symbolic, as there will be future interesting interactions and problems between Shiruk, Lyrael, and Phaere. Yes I did mean to draw Lyrael without her wings.

Wow, this is a great piece you've got here. I absolutly love your style of drawing. Your drow look wonderful, and I have to say congrats on the hair, especially the braids. Those evil little things can be so hard to draw corectlly! And the detail on the hair of the female that's dead center is stunning. Great job!

^_^ thank you!
Actually it even feels a little empty to me, but that may be because of the lack of background. I still need a lot of work on my backgrounds.

WOW! First thing I thought. This should be painted on the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. Or atleast hanging in the love. It looks like something the old masters did. Big WOW! The black and white is perfect for this picture. Don't let anyone tell you different.
The Illithid looks great. More Illithid pictures. (personally biased comment)
and for those who want to know, the Paladins name is Fernan. I should know, cause like the Illithid I run him.
Incredible work Xaotl.

^_^ thank you! They're a lot of fun, and I'm hoping to do more as the story continues. Honestly I'd love to try and 'comic' it but I'm not sure of the feasability of that, I have trouble converting a written thread to a written script. c_C

I actually sit there and stare at a variety of different comic books. Ones from : Garfield, to ones from some manga in a SUNDAY manga book of over a 1000 pages of manga.... *shakes her head* I just can't seem to do it right. Although, I was looking at a comic by and she gave me the brilliant idea of just drawing the people separate from the backgrounds and the comic boxes and the dialog boxes. I feel kinda dumb now that I think about it too... -_-''

^_^! Thank you! It really really is nice to hear good feedback on my pencil work, sometimes it seems like black and white is doomed to fall under the label 'Sketch'
