Artist's Comments

These are (so far) the three main characters of the comic I'm working on in my spare time. Their names have changed kind of often and will probably change again, but for now, they're Skawa the white-haired dude (a dragon soldier), Jatma the black-haired guy (a mage and city-ruler), and Suren the ...is that auburn? Probably. Anyway, he's just an ordinary guy who happens to know both of them. There's a war going on and stuff. I assure you it's fascinating, and will be well worth the read if I ever manage to get it written.

This is pretty close to the style I'd like to use for the comic, though I need to work on my composition and backgrounds. I very rarely do landscapes, and that'll have to change.

Watercolor, 9"x12"

Gorgeous use of watercolours!
A comic in this style will be a great piece of art which I really would like to read!
I especially like the face of the auburn haired guy! Beautiful!

Oh, I adore your pictures! It's wonderful how you can paint with so many different colours and still not have the picture feel too complicated or colour-saturated. And the attention to detail is just......amazing!
I will stop my shameless grovelling with a single question:
Is Skawa wearing anything.....at all?

Love your style

Haha, not at the moment. He runs around naked a lot, for ease of shapeshifting.

As others have pointed out, these characters are really cool and pretty. I wanted to say that the fabric in this picture is awesome. That pillow... It's so foil-like, but it looks soft. Jatma's clothes and his...bandoleer? What is that? Anyway, it looks shiny and touchable.

The gossamer peacock feathery swirls are very nice. Are they magic? Or just part of the bed?

Jatma's robe wraps across the front; I think what you're seeing is the embroidery at the top of the chest-panel. The pillow is actually Suren's arm - he's lying in a meadow. And yeah, all the circley stuff is magic/spirit auras. ^_^

Oops. I see the grass now. The pillow looks even better (and makes more sense) as a sleeve.
