SciFi and Fantasy Art: Likimeya and Shima'onari

This is kind of a fluffy family picture. It shows Shima'onari hugging his wife Likimeya who is pregnant with their little Jiriki to him. I always wonder about pregancy and child-caring among the Sithi and especially the relationship between the fathers and their children.

It's so BEAUTIFUL! I love it! XD You made Likimeya just as I imagined her! We didn't saw much of Likimeya during the books and I tried to bring the war lady with her black armor together with the wife and mother. I always wondered what kind of mother she is. Didn't anyone else recognize she was speaking to her son only one time during the book in a manner the reader could understand? *sighs*

This is really beautiful! Love the colors!*bows* For me the coloring of a picture is the most important task in the matter of creating a ground emotion for the pic...

WOOWW!!! This picture is so beautiful!!! The eyes, the face, the hair...all I can say is wow. How did you do all that? And what is a sithi? I'm dying to know since you portray them so beautifully. BTW, I also like (more like love) CLAMP manga.
Anyway, keep up the great work! The Sithi or Zida'ya are an ancient elven tribe of a fantasy book series called Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (written by Tad Williams). Their behaviour and way of life shows lot of asian (especially japanese) influences...I can't describe it...you really should read the books.

That is A LOT of hair. I mean, my hair is to my shoulders, and washing it is craziness. That much hair is just beyond my comprehension. You did a good job with her tummy. I can see that she isn't "very" pregnant, but she obviously needs help balancing, and Shima'onari's shoulder is propping her well. Good attention to detail. the real craziness is not to wash them but to dry them ... but Sithi are immortal so I guess the have a lot of time to take care of their hair...the author told us that the Sithi are colouring their hair...normally they all have white hair (that's why Likimeya has white eyebrows) I'm happy you like her tummy...it was difficult to do because I'm not sure about pregnancy among the Sithi...they are elves - so their hips are small...Sithi babies couldn't be that big or their mothers would have a really tough time by giving birth to them

I like it. Everything is beautiful, except for his hair. I'm not big on men who have more hair than I do. >1 but other than that the picture is beautiful. Good feeling. well, never forget we are talking of an almost immortal elven tribe - this guy's hair had over a millennia to grow and no hair-dresser around. *g* well, he was described at the book of having long hairs which were 'tied high atop his head'...

What's wrong with being fluffy? Tad Williams has to see your art, Jess. He'd love it! well, I'm not totally sure if I will ever tell him about this gallery. I'm so shy...and I fear his displeasure *is looking to the floor*
