Uh-huh?
I imagined something different for Evylyin’s hair, but it didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to, both times.. Hey, why are the girls in Dragon Booster all ‘toothpick’ girls? Everyone seems bizarrely angular and thin. And please, really, why do the ‘dragons’ look like dinosaurs? I’ve said this before, I know… it just bugs me every time.
Farm-girl in the big city
At about this time, Kevin discovered a rather nifty little TV series called Dragon Booster. The premise is that there are dragons and humans, and now-a-days, the humans control the dragons, and they’re all different colours (the dragons) and they used to be gold, and now they’re not except for one.
The hero’s dragon is gold, and that’s why he’s the hero. Now he has to learn how to be a hero instead of a teenager. Tall order, I’d say. And he has to stop the ‘dragon/human war’ that his father’s childhood rival is trying to start, and dodge his own rival in the bargain (who happens to be the son of his father’s rival…).
So this is my dragon rider, Evylyin Rouz, and the spelling is wonky because everyone has nutty names in that world. Well, since when is Mordred spelled Moordrydd? Oh, wait, I think I talked about this before. Just a little bit. Anyhow, Evylyin and Dymunde were coloured with markers. Not Crayola, but I forget what they’re called. She’s from a small town called Grenoble, and they’re a bit odd there compared to the Dragon City hot-shots. For instance, each dragon can only work in the field it is most suited for. Like white dragons work at the ski hill. And red work at forges. And blues fish.
Happy ending before it starts
This is a movie poster for a lovely little novel called “The Princess and Curdie” which is actually the second of two. The first is called “The Princess and the Goblin”, and it’s just as sweet. They’re obviously fairytales, written by a guy called George Macdonald. And I made a movie poster for the second one. It’s supposed to be in the castle, and the marble floors are shiny, and the rug thing at the bottom is red.
We should have dressed up a bit more… at least Mom let her hair down
Yes, one of my faceless pictures. Hey, I think it works, and even looks good sometimes. Family portrait of the first four members of Zela’s family. The other five I didn’t have character designs yet for. Though, I did write their names on the side, in preparation… and it looks like wise Bayn has his name as Bayn-nu. Well, I don’t know. Anyway, Zela’s got her hair loose for once, and the pose sort of works, but their feet all look stupid. And Flairé must be shy about his hands or something.
My ability to draw bad guys is still very, very poor
This picture is of the varying heights of different people in Zela’s world. Some of them don’t exist anymore, not because they went extinct, but because now they weren’t yet created. Us, for example. Anyway, the hulk on the left is Sicassa, spelled Menad Sicaca. Ugh, inconsistant c. Then there’s Lyrilna’s head. He’s a giant snake, and I mean giant. I don’t know where he lives, but it’s believed that he’s actually Zela’s grandson in some fashion. It will all be explained in good time, or even earlier if you keep your wits about you. Then there’s Zela, good old 7′ tall. I think they’ve actually been growing, because a recent picture of Flairé made him to be about 9′ tall.
Flairé: We have different feet, so we’re 7′ tall in our measurement. Yeah, that works.
And then there’s a tall human. The Hero-type, right? Height confers nobility? And finally a short fat human. With a thick neck and a small head. -_- On purpose, though.
Graceful and tall
This is a nice picture of Zela because it is shaded: hooray! I like it a lot, and her stick-like fingers are quite good. And her spine is there, and folds in her skirt, and her hair is all right.
