Description EDIT: Fixed some stuff. Download for full view.

This is finished, just a few days shy of a year later. For that reason, I'm ignoring the terrible anatomy, the wonky arrangement, the utter lack of background, and the complete disregard for anything resembling composition. Why? Because it was fun to draw and fun to color. I'm like a five-year-old.

My soldier boys from Rising Storm (except for Inovar), dressed for Ery's wedding, celebrating the end of the war, a new reigning lord, and a new life. These golden times are never without a little melancholy, a little regret... but that doesn't mean there wasn't love and friendship beneath it all.

As this is from the end of the novel(s), the more I say, the more I give away. Ask me in comments if you have questions, and I may slip up and answer.

L-R: Erylandes. Fledge. Farren. Koreise. Siyil. Tatheran.

Characters, art, and story belong to me.

You create such wonderful atmosphere with your coloring! I wish I was half as good a colorist as you!

Would you ever consider doing a collaboration on a pic one of these days?

Milo, I would be thrilled and honored! Honestly, I don't see anything in my art that YOU could envy... I have so much to learn from you on my own. If you want to, though, I'd love to collab on something. What did you have in mind?

(Now I run off to drop classes and quit my job to make sure I have time to do it justice...)

Actually, disregard that last comment, I do have a pretty good idea. I have a bunch of crazy, over the top cyberpunk characters I've been sketching for the last few months, but they haven't seen the light of the internet yet. They also haven't progressed past simple sketches yet, so I really haven't chosen colors for them, which would make them ideal for this. Would you have any interest in coloring something like that?

Oops. I missed this comment.

That sounds great! I'd love to work with your amazing designs. I do have to add that metal is NOT my strongest point (it's something I'm working on). Otherwise, I'm game to try it!

You'll have to bear with my strange schedule... I'm trying to work and complete my senior year of college at the same time. Other people seem to do it with far less trouble, but for me, it's a struggle not to quit every day... and sometimes (like right now) my ees are practically burning in their sockets. (TMI!) This is not to say I don't want to do a collab-- I'm VERY excited-- but my turnabout schedule is iffy. Just fair warning!

No worries, I'm just starting college, so I kinda get how you feel. When I do get the linework to you (shouldn't take me toooo long... hopefully) then you can take all the time you need with it. No pressure.

I honestly didn't have any clear ideas in mind, but I'm sure I could think of something. Or we could both come up with something, since it's gonna be a collab.

MMMM GRAPE JUICE

I remember that tutorial! XD AWESOME coloring abilities, as always, especially shading the faces! No matter how hard I try, I can never do that right.

DAWW! Tatheran as a kid was just so cute!

Also, nice scar on the neck there, Koreise.
