Is this offer open to non-Celestians? I'd sure love to see Lendren.
Saaga2008-01-22 16:21:52
Sure, open to everyone! I love doing these, and I need practice. These are my first-ever computer drawings, so...
Lendren2008-01-22 18:17:00
Great! Lendren used to be the kind of beatnik slacker poet type with bangs hanging in his eyes that you'd expect to see sipping absinthe and agonizing about poetry in a cafe in Paris that was trendy for not being trendy; and though he's grown up and matured and learned about responsibility since then, he still has a hint of that "haughty artiste" air about him, and looks young for his age. Nowadays, he wears a pair of iridescent round spectacles (about the same design as John Lennon's, but with a tendency to refract sparkles of rainbows). Plus of course robes and his mandolin, and the tiny humble song sparrow that's always hovering around him.

QUOTE
He is an ordinary human demigod and has a distant expression and posture, perhaps because of the locks of dark hair that insist on falling in front of his midnight eyes, which hide behind narrow-rimmed spectacles. The only noteworthy trait of his appearance is the vivid white scar, made more noticeable because of his chocolate-brown skin, above his heart: four vertical lines, with a half-circle surrounding one end, like a row of feline claw-marks and a bite, or the shape of a mandolin.
QUOTE
Pale wood has been used to fashion this mandolin, left unstained and undecorated save by the wood's natural grain. Fastenings made of silver and clear crystal afford the mandolin some sparkle, as do the curving holes in the mandolin's body, allowing rich sounds to emanate from the cavity. The only other decoration is a simple crest, just off-center on the rounded body of the mandolin, painted in light brushstrokes with white paint, depicting a milkweed seed and a shining star swirling around one another in a spiral zephyr's dance.


Thanks!

This are gorgeous Saaga, seriously. I'm very impressed. You should do Severian biggrin.gif.

You can either think of some way to show his changeling race, or you can take a trill/faeling approach.

Actually, if you don't mind, if you could do a faeling one and a trill one, I'd be very appreciative... I'm thinking of maybe gathering together a couple of your paintings of me in different races, and compiling them into a banner that says "The many forms of Severian" or something like that. It's up to you completely, but I would love to see these pictures, and love to see your work on this stuff. The only note about Severian is that he has a changeling cameo which you can put in if you want, has a jackal necklace which holds his rune of absorption, a generic chain, a sigil of the ouroboros embedded in his chest. He doesn't wear a shirt usually.. if he's not fighting his splendours are down around his waist. Most other features are pretty unimportant. You're allowed to use whatever creative license you like tongue.gif I really don't mind. Just remember he's Mag, and he's generally pretty evil, but in a fuzzy, warm sort of way smile.gif

Post a description of yourself. It'll be easier for her to see you as you want to be seen. (It would be for me anyway!)
Saaga2008-01-23 11:44:53
Sure, Severian - just lemme get home from school tongue.gif
I really -love- making these.

EDIT: Oh, and yes please, a description too!
Severian2008-01-23 12:04:18
well I didn't give one because I haven't cooked a faeling one up yet.. if you want to do Severian as a mugwump Geo, that'd be cool. I'm really open to a generalized faeling painting.... hm.

He is a nimble faeling and stands at approximately 2 feet high. He has light sandy brown hair that partially covers his pointed ears as it falls to his chin. His face is handsome to look upon, the nose positioned perfectly in the middle, with a small mouth underneat, thin lips, and deep azure eyes, with a light green iris border. His skin is pale peach, stretched closely against his body outlining his tiny, almost useless muscles. His small legs are sticks, no hair growing over him anywhere except on the head. Tribal tattoos adorn his upper abdomen all over, giving a feral look to him. Sprouting from his back, a set of black wings flit softly. There are many holes in his wings, which for the most part are completely destroyed. Little fragments still hang, ripped, but connected, waving soflty in the wind.

Note that he's not wearing a shirt.


getting back from school??? I have class in two hours, and am so tired I deleted this little message thinking I was typing an IM into the post reply box... now i'm gonna be asleep in class sad.gif. ANyway, hope that work sout, and thanks so much!
Evette2008-01-23 22:02:11
Would you mind doing Evette? worthy.gif
She is a nimble shadowcaster faeling and is coated with an ivory skin, and stands about three foot tall. Full thick eye lashes surround her large eyes of a deep green, that greet you with extreme kindness. She has long full hair of a deep brown, that is tied into a weave using several ribbons of a dark purple, although a few strands have come loose and are hangng down into her face. Her petite figure leads your eyes down to her well porportioned hips, down to get long legs, and finally down to her coursly small feet. Full bat like wings of a deep purple hue spread out behind her, a contrast to her petite figure. She is wearing a diamond teardrop tiara, a coin pouch of crystal blue silk, a lovers locket ring, an onyx ring of black roses, a dark commune coin ring, a simple ring of bloodstone, an etched turquoise ring, a twisting ring of amethyst, a purple puppy pack, a purple coat, a long black spiderweb cloak, a fearsome ruby dragon ring, an etched garnet ring, a porcelain doll mask, a beryl sun ring, a platinum and diamond wedding ring, 2 exquisite onyx and opal bracelets, sensuous robes of black cashmere, a glittering dark ruby pentacle necklace, and a pair of vined forestwalker's boots.

Songbird's Say
-Lendren Starfall
by Saaga

Left out robes - made him wear those forestal green trousers common in Seren.

Oh. Crap. Did a songbird instead of songsparrow.
Saaga2008-01-23 22:41:28
Sure - tomorrow. Severian will be up in his three forms tomorrow as well. A lot of fun!
Tzekelkan2008-01-23 23:06:36
You're great! happy.gif
Severian2008-01-24 01:53:15
Yay three forms! smile.gif Really appreciate it... I had a rough night last night and today, so I'm really looking forward to seeing these tomorrow as a major positive factor tongue.gif
Aison2008-01-24 02:55:44

She is an ordinary human and has a petite, slender frame rendered golden and wiry
by endless days beneath the sun. A wildling's face, kissed with freckles and
smudged here and there with traces of earth, is framed by a disorderly mass of
strawberry curls that seems intent on escaping the confines of her headdress.
Warm green eyes sparkle with the vivacity and earnestness of youth, lending
their liveliness and light to unremarkable features. Her nose is pert and
slightly pointed, poised above pink lips. The smiles she bestows reveal a tiny
gap between her front teeth, adding to her youthful and unfettered charm. Slung
over her shoulder is a white sash leading to her mandolin, which rests easily
against her.

Basically, red curly hair trapped in a headdress, green eyes, freckles, and short.

I like her in regular clothes rather than robes. Her mandolin is dusky with starlit tones on the front (dark, twilight-like, dark blue near the neck, light blue near the base, with silver strings).

headdress:


Clearly crafted with elegance and exquisite attention to detail, the metal
utilised to forge it is of unknown origin, bright as well-polished silver yet
possessing outstanding durability and lacking even a hint of tarnish. The sides
have been polished to a smooth finish, forming curves upon each side to rest
above the ears when worn, and several interlocking pieces allow for comfort as
well as protection, rather than a single part. A single white diamond, an inch
in diameter, has been set into the front so that it would rest upon the brow,
the subtle white radiance from its depths casting a steady light that is
reflected by the surrounding metal. Around the precious gemstone, four
interwoven pieces of metal have been etched into the form of scrolls, each
bearing a single world across it in a rolling, elegant script that burns with
blue fire, highlighting the principles of Honour, Courage, Wisdom and Loyalty.

Don't worry about the details.

Ooooh! Thanks! The bird's awfully close to the kind of sparrow Giallyn is anyway. Love the spectacles! Thanks so much!
Saaga2008-01-24 22:46:14
Alright, Severian - I made first those three separate pictures but I liked this one the best as I could not properly nail down similar features to the three separate ones...

Hope you likes it!
Trill-faeling-mugwump

EDIT: I like the mugwump myself. Am improving a bit!
Tzekelkan2008-01-25 00:22:29
You're getting better and better! I like that faeling more than the mugwump though (mugwumps are just ugly in general tongue.gif).
Severian2008-01-25 01:40:53
Wow thanks so much! I love it so much! Now to figure a way to use it, so I can show off how awesome I look tongue.gif

EDIT: Could I see the other ones? If you don't want to post them here, you can email them to me... smile.gif *begs*
Unknown2008-01-25 03:59:30
You want to practice with a Loboshigaru? *grins*
Saaga2008-01-25 11:46:12
Sure, Severian - I'll just finish the trill one too. Currently working on Evette's and Aison's too - and sure Rian - post a desc.
Saran2008-01-26 00:11:10
Perhaps Saran would like one though really it's hard to decide which form he would be in.

General rule is saran is brunette, slim and tall. Almond brown eyes. If he is Aslaran then he will appear similar to malach. (pale white fur, silver stripes, white eyes)
Dark brown spots on his skin when he is faeling, as well as a faint green tinge. I forget if he is a glow butt kephera, haven't been one in a while.

hum, back to work
