Description EDIT: Uploaded a better quality scan.

Finished it! Fullview please, there's quite a lot of detail (which is unusual for me. )

I read a fanfiction a while ago about Daine and Numair from Tamora Pierce's "Immortals" series- the fic described different ways their friends found out they were more than just friends. This was the sweetest one, and I had to illustrate it!

It was pointed out to me when I uploaded the WIP that Numair is too short- sorry!

Haha, the Griffindor flag actually looks exactly like my college flag at uni. I thought it was funny when I first got here.

(It's supposed to be a Lioness Rampant, but t'aint. )

British Footy is about as contrived and angst filled as Harry Potter, as well... I think you could be on to something there!

That's awesome! The level of detail is phenomenal, and the positioning is really nice - very much an 'aawww' feeling

I like the background a lot, I'm too lazy to ever really do them myself. Also Numair is the best.

He is, isn't he? ^_^ I'm getting better at backgrounds, although they do tend to take me ages. X( They're only fun to draw if there's interesting stuff in them, so putting shields in was a good plan.

Vtheman In reply to sivvus [2009-01-03 22:57:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the shields are one of my favorite parts for this piece. Did you have a hard time coming up with the designs for them or did you use existing ones? Either way they look really good, they just fit with the series well.

sivvus In reply to Vtheman [2009-01-03 23:43:03 +0000 UTC]

A mixture of both.

The lioness and the horse shields are Alanna's and the Riders' respectively, the sword and crown shield is the "Tortall" one, and the key is (I think! ) Pirate's Swoop. The Snake shield is one my brother and I thought of as our own design, since we used to draw lots of snake comics.

Thanks for all these lovely comments BTW! Sorry for such long replies.

Oh man I reall yhope that key is the symbol for Pirate's Swoop, that'd be too cool!

Haha you're welcome, and no worries you replies aren't too long.

-- I should say that the shields aren't completely random, in the fic I mentioned that this is based on, everyone would have been there. It was set at a celebration ball that was thrown by Jon at the end of the Immortal's War. Naturally Daine and Numair were guests of honour.

No! **cries** It was over a year ago when I read it, and I'd bookmarked it, and then my computer died. X( I looked for it to link when I uploaded this and couldn't find it.

But it's somewhere on [link] ... which I know doesn't help much.
