Hrulash and Garekhen

Quickie picture of Hrulash and his dragon buddy Garekhen for the Wayrift Dragonrider contest.

In the Adhemlenei, Hrulash is Tseo’s buddy, and the second-in-command of the Royal Guard; he is not that great at combat, actually, but he is the best knight for paperwork ever. But he is rather uptight and impatient, exceedingly serious, demanding of his underlings, and possessed of a good enough tactical skill that people can’t say he only got his position by being friends with Tseo. Garekhen, the dragon, is also quite serious and focused on doing things the right way, but finds an enormous simple pleasure in flying with his friend.

I kinda slopped this together in a couple hours. That’s why the anatomy is a complete fail, even though I did  try, at least with Hrulash… A few things: Garekhen has lion-like paws and no back-spikes. So with the horns and the lack of fins, he looks quite different from Hoarwilk, the other golden dragon we’ve met so far.

Hrulash’s name means Riverwave, and Garekhen is a dragon-name so the kalmaei don’t know what it means.

Flairé Poster

Click for larger size! I spent a while working on this one, and it turned out… not too bad, I have to say. The sunset came out pretty much how I wanted it, and Flairé too. Yes, that means much too bright and colourful… whatever. Leslie… is much too small. But I fail at perspective anyway… Anyway, she liked it, and that’s what matters.

P.S. If I ever get a car, I am going to name it Norma.

Pent 2

Oops, my bad. This one came before yesterday’s. But anyway, you notice the different style. This one is much more anime-flavoured, while the other one has some attempts at vague realism. Also, I failed at this one.

Man, how long has it been since I used the Fire Emblem category?

Let’s do more. : D

Elkyari

It’s the attack of the red-headed elves! This is Elkyari, otherwise known as Cardinal (as in the red crested bird). You may or may not remember him from this page in the Flairé comic. So here he is in his ninja catsuit thing. He is actually quite a good soldier and captain, too, and has become rather an influential character, although you haven’t seen much of him – yet!

I’m not sure if that’s his natural colour. He likes it, though.

Ryder Hesjedal fanart

Iiiiiiit’s Ryder! I should have just gone with a pencil sketch. I really should have. Anyway, this was traced from the Stage 2 win photo of Garmin. My brother likes this picture. Because it involves realism of a sort.

…I really should have gone with a pencil sketch.

Finished The Two Towers. On to RotK!
