Description Oh, for people who have seen me in person...that's not me. That's Daine. She just...looks a lot like me. It's the hair. The difference is I give her bang...ish...things and keep her hair long. And dress her like an elf.
Aaaanyway...although by this point in the story her affections are given over entirely to Numair, in the fourth Immortals book Daine and Rikash develop a really neat friendship...that neither of them acknowledges.
But I think that Rikash needs a hug. So. Fanart. ^^

EDIT:
So. The silly text reads:
Daine: "aaaw, you're sweet! "
Rikash: "No I'm not! I'm a mean, nasty Stormwing warrior! A nightmare vision of war and terror! Covered in the gore and filth of the battlefield! Doesn't that bother you? Don't I smell? Speaking of which, get your mouth away from me, you don't know where I've been! And I've got steel feathers, you'll get cut! ...This has "public health hazard" written all over it...."

Hence the title.

Daine and Rikash belong to Tamora Pierce.

I say it like dane? One syllable?

I'm sure she's fine, Rikash is just being paranoid. And doesn't want smooches.

I don't know where, but I think I read somewhere that the first book was Terrier, the second was Bloodhound, and the third was Mastiff.

Favorite character from Tamora's Pierce's books ever! I cried buckets when he died. And again the second time I read it. And the third. And the fourth...and he's pretty much the only character in any series whose death I cried over every time I read it.

Getting away from that, I love this picture! Daine looks EXACTLY how I picture her, and Rikash pretty similar. ^^

Aw, thanks very much! And I know how you feel about Rikash, he was (clearly) one of my favorites too.

As for Daine, I...get a lot of practice with cartooning curly hair.
Rikash had a pretty specific description in the books, which helps a lot. I'm glad he measures up for a fangirl. ^__^

oh man.... it's totally true that Rikash needed a hug. I too have grown overly attached to him, specifically after re-reading 'Emperor Mage'.
Anyway, excellent job on the dialogue... spot on!

Osanagokoro [2007-06-27 00:13:22 +0000 UTC]

First off, a Stormwing must be bloody IMPOSSIBLE to hug, what with those steel feathers set to cut you to bits--weather they'd will it or not. Also, I doubt Daine could stand getting close enough to him to do so, with that foul stench about him.

But you are right--Rikash needs a hug. I'd totally give him one if not for the obstacles mentioned above...and if I existed in the Tortall universe. ^_^U

You make an interesting point, also--how the bloody hell DOES he get those bones in his hair?

And I cried when he died, as well. :'(

triumph-forks In reply to Osanagokoro [2007-06-27 01:34:45 +0000 UTC]

yeah, that's actually what the illegible text in the picture is about--Rikash is going on about how he really shouldn't be hugged, what with the stench and the filth and the sharp edges and all, hence the title. Maybe I should add that to the comments?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Osanagokoro In reply to triumph-forks [2007-07-02 11:39:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I could read them--I just thought it'd be more logical if his protests had been HEEDED. More to the point, he wouldn't have NEEDED to say them. His offensiveness should have spoken for him.

But that's me putting the 'critic' in 'critical.' My apologies. ^_^U
