Svarik, OC of my friend MirachRavaia
He's character from her story called " The Heart of the Mountain", also called Meadow King.
As it could be assumed, Svarik was so cute and giving me puppy eyes for days... It was scary how many many sketches of him were all around my stuff... And notebooks
in time I should had studied, of course XD
And so, knowing myself and knowing Svarik... Three days of passionate no-eating little-sleeping barely-breathing and more than 100 Photoshop layers later, here we go! 
This is 67. theme Playing the melody for my 100 theme challenge: visanastasis.deviantart.com/jo… <3333
Original size: 2708 x 3285 px
Tools: Pencil, eraser, Photoshop CS3 with mouse

Thank you so much! Svarik is so amazing character, and I must say, he deserves all sympathy that can be given to him 
Yup, some characters are indeed meant to be hugged all the day

Ahaha, indeed! Although some of them might not be too fond of the idea.

This is really, really good...I'm jealous of your skills.

Don't be jealous , we all have some things we are good at; you write good, and I draw good. That's why our family is so strong-when we all pile on, someone with drawing, someone with writing, someone with singing-we are the strongest artistic bunch in Arda

It's beautiful! Mirach told me he can make others dance to his flute, so it's technically magical.
(Gosh, I adore your skill.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Technically quite magical, only not as it is common expected considering term *magic*
But he's so so great character! Me and Mirach are having roleplay with him and my OC Liron, and I totally enjoy it! Svarik is so nice and positive! 
(Oh,thank you

*points down to the discussion with Mirach*
I'd say, knowing Mirach.
You're welcome!

It's not true magic, the music is just too irresistable
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, right. Which is another way of saying "it's not me, it's the flute...", or, like Galadriel, "you have no idea what you're talking about, you call both what I do and what the enemy do 'magic'. Ah, oops, my ring is one of those Celebrimbor made, using the knowledge he learned fron Sauron...".

Lol, good point about Galadriel! But Svarik really has no idea what you are talking about, because the flute is a perfectly ordinary musical instrument. The power of music is enhanced in his world, and he can play it really well, so the song can make you weep or laugh without any magic.

Well, if you insist. Musical-sensitive world can still seem magical to those who aren't used to it.

( firstly of all, I am so so sorry for needing so long to answer.. school
Thank you so much for compliments! 
Yes, butterflies! I really enjoyed drawing them!
Flowers as well! 
Svarik indeed is a wonderful character, and I totally enjoy his personality! He's indeed amazing, and he's my favorite Mirach's character! Her and I during these couple of months were roleplaying with Svarik and my OC Liron on my site, and I totally enjoyed it: [link]

I'll use this icon as well... (Sorry, icon!)
Three days a and 100 layers, and so many sketches??? 
It's really great how similar your idea of him is to mine! He doesn't have a beard on my picture, because in the story he is younger and doesn't have it yet. The rich and vibrant eyecolor is a sign that the person has the blood of a Being in their veins. All people from the Sáni nation have it (they will come later in the story, in Kaldir's storyline) from their ancestor White Eagle, while Svarik has it from queen Morning Dew. Only other difference is the type of the flute, it seems. I fear I didn't translate it correctly, maybe it should be a pipe.

( Poor icon.. )
It's Svarik's fault, trust me. I never experienced so clear form of puppy eyes in action. You have amazing characters, but Svarik really have special place in my heart
I am really becoming better in timing, so three days aren't really big considering that before one year or so I had to work for days on much less impressive work.. I am improving
I think I maybe got idea of him slightly older, since on lot places in RP we were mentioning he was skipping the soldiers for years, so *years* leaned little more hard on him in my imagination and given him little beard
Sáni nation seems interesting. Even if I think story about Morning Dew will still stay more favored by me, maybe because of Svarik... It seemed to me everything connected with him I like... His innocence goes on first place... Than friendship with Izmir, than listening and soul healing abilities, than eyes, than smile, than hair...
Flute and pipe... When I read it, I think I said one long " Ooops... "
I hope it's not making him be little out-of-concept... Can I get away with it if we assume that if he plays pipe well, he can play flute as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, in the story we first meet him when he is 17, and the RP would be about 10 years later, so the difference is just accurate. And I think you like Svarik because he is similar to you in many things. I just had the feeling that he is the right character for a RP with you.
I'm sorry about the confusion with flute/pipe. It's my fault for not translating it correctly (should we use pipe in the RP from now on, or leave it with flute?) But I'm sure he could play flute very nicely as well, he just has pipe because it's easier to make, I believe. It's just a simple whistle with holes...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, he's around 27? You know, for quite long time I was plotting Liron to ask Svarik somewhere how old is he ( It's mostly my curiosity, I fear.. Maybe little Liron's as well 
Similar to me? You know, among all nice thing you ever said to me, this one... Is so touching my heart.. And it's a nice and really dear compliment to me... I don't know what to say on that, I hope I really am that close to Svarik, it would be an honor to be as good person as he is 
Don't worry about translating, it's just little mistake that could happen to anyone. And why should I scold you for it then?
And, hey, *simple whistle with holes*? Tell that to all people to whom Svarik's playing helped. Would they say it's *simple whistle with holes* as well, or would they say it's the most beautiful instrument they ever sow?

Yes, 27. His birthday is June 21st
So we will continue calling it flute, and I will continue imagining a pipe under that term
