Description So, this is a realistic picture of Vaarsuvius from the Order of the Stick comic that I love to read! S/he is an elf of unknown gender... though I just happened to make it look more like a guy. It's in coloured pencils and well, I'm kind a proud of it!

*lol* Thank you very much! Glad you like it! It was hard to try and do something that's supposed to look like it could be both male and female at the same time!

Hahaha, no prob. :3

Though I think the Japanese have it down to an art.

Yeah, that's true... but when you go for more realistic styles it's much harder! Manga characters often look androgynous though.

Nice work on the hair.
I could image people who tend to fail spot checks being unsure of this one's gender

Thank you very much!
Haha, yes, me too. Thanx! I am so curious to know what s/he is really...

If what I heard is true, Rich Burlew only decided to give V all the unknow gender stuff because a few fan kept asking him what V's gender was during the earlier strips.

YikYik In reply to annoyinglizardvoice [2010-06-21 15:53:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I think it was something like that. I know he had intended to give V a gender, but decided to not let us know until later. So... someday, we will know!

Very, very nice. Of all the OotS characters, V is definitely my favorite. I love looking at all the OotS art here on DA, and V is probably one of the most popular characters to draw. Great job. Now if only Rich Burlew would update more frequently...

Mine too! Him and Roy I think. But I love them all!
Yeah... it's like... really interesting right now!! V's really going nuts! *lol* But cool too... I think I'll draw an evil V fan art soon too.

I know! I seriously check every hour or so to see if he updates! V is so psycho now, which is awesome! I'm definitely going to have to add Psycho V to the series of counted cross stitch OotS characters I'm working on.
But, yeah, I loved your piece! Actually, your name and avatar were what caught my attention! We'll just have to keep Belkar away from you!

YikYik In reply to imacrazytrekkie [2009-03-10 21:12:33 +0000 UTC]

*lol* I have had a long time of Oots absence, but I'm getting to it. I check it every other day now again and that's good. It's like, I've rediscovered Oots somehow (about two months ago). I used to check for updates every day the first two years or so, then I lost it a bit when Rich stopped to update regularly for a long time. It's great to be newly obsessed again!
Yeah, V is really going down into the darker levels! I can't help but wonder what he's mate and children will think/say when they see him/her. I think s/he'll defeat the dragon easily enough though.
*lol* Yeah, do that! It'd be awesome!
Thank you! *lol* Haha! yeah, Belkar might wanna kill me... again! Hehe... I choose to have Yikyik as an avatar/name just because it didn't felt right to take the name of the head characters, but I definitely wanted an Oots related avatar though. And I've always loved the cobolds!

imacrazytrekkie In reply to YikYik [2009-03-10 22:52:48 +0000 UTC]

I'm relatively new to Oots. I've only been around long enough to have read through all of them and to be waiting anxiously in between updates.
The cobolds are a lot of fun! Actually everything about the comic is great!

YikYik In reply to imacrazytrekkie [2009-03-11 14:22:21 +0000 UTC]

*lol* That's good too! I have bought all the albums too. They're great! There's extra strips in them and stuff. And you get to read about how Xykon and Redcloak came to be working together and how the head characters met and stuff too.
Indeed! And I love how he pictures them! They look so cute/funny!
Yeah, it's one of the best comics I've ever read actually!

imacrazytrekkie In reply to YikYik [2009-03-11 14:30:28 +0000 UTC]

I don't have the books but my dad borrowed the first two from a friend and then let my brother and I borrow them from him. So I've read the first two of the books. I even brought them to my friend's Halloween party and got her stuck on them too!

Hahaha! That's great! Spread the Oots-mania!
But that's good... then you have only missed three of the albums.

imacrazytrekkie In reply to YikYik [2009-03-12 18:04:34 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'd love to get a chance to read those but unless my dad's friend gets them, I probably won't get to. Oh well!

YikYik In reply to imacrazytrekkie [2009-03-14 11:18:55 +0000 UTC]

You can order them at the Oots page. But they're a bit on the expensive side. But I think it's worth it anyway.

imacrazytrekkie In reply to YikYik [2009-03-14 17:22:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, as an unemployed high school student, I don't really have much cash to burn. Getting the books would be great, but what I really want is an "I prepared Explosive Runes this morning" T-shirt!

I know... I'm in the same situation. I'm studying at the university. But I work during the summers and the albums doesn't come out very often.
Haha! Yeah, that'd be great! Or an evil V shirt! Or that nice pic where Roy jumps onto the undead dragon with Xykon! I love that scene!

I thought at first it was a guy, but it\'s veeery nicely fitting for a woman too.

You pulled it off, congrats
The best fanart of V in my opinion

This is the best picture I've ever seen of her...the rest make him look ugly. Yours is gender ambiguous but still nice.

Hehe... I've kinda planned to draw Roy and Zykon in the battle right before Roy falls. On the undead dragon you know? I don't know if I can manage to draw a psycho halfling killer... hehe, but he sure is so cool! Maybe I'll try some day.

Methinks it's gender ambiguous enough.
Lovely shading, and amazing mastery of colored pencils.
