"Aarion" by Dante Rushdan

I'm back again! ... well, I finally got around to 'drawing' Aarion for ya (took me long enough, didn't it?) I hope you don't mind, but I wound up using Poser and Photoshop... the results are pretty spiffy (and should be up in my Loth gallery soon). .. I hope I got all the details right. I don't think Aarion has pupils, but he looked really really odd without them, so I had to keep them in. .. Anyway, you'll see as soon as it's up! ... One day, I may even get around to adding a background to the picture.... Who knows?

Dante Rushdan replies: "Cool, it's done! Now I have enough for the tour, I'm pretty sure. Ah, who needs backgrounds anyways? Too hard! I think I have about 2 and a half backgrounds in my gallery, and they're all horrible. Anyway, can't wait to see it. Poser will be an interesting touch."

Here he is! http://elfwood.lysator.liu.le/loth/f/e/fetishfaerie/aarion_finished.jpg.html

Dante Rushdan replies: "Woohoo!"

I don't mind drawing Aarion if you don't mind drawing Ellouise Aldriach (To find out who she is, see my art) or Catriona III ( I only have pictures of her in armour, and I would love to see a rendition of her done by you in colour, she has brown hair, and dresses in clothes like Ellouise does, or my Arwen does, just finer as she is High Emperess. Thankyou.

Dante Rushdan replies: "Ellouise, huh? I'll think about it. I have three huge reports due in two weeks, so I don't have much time for art right now. I'll get back into the "artistic groove" whent summer vacation comes around."

I'm almost on Elfwood( a few more days!) and when I get on I'll let you know somehow! If you like my stuff, can I draw Aarion? I really really want to! He's so nifty!

Dante Rushdan replies: "Of course you can, you're my #1 visitor (as far as I know). Good luck with the moderators, too."

You wanted some details on Ellouise. She is very tall for a human lady, but just over average for a Katakaan at apoximately 1m 80. Her skin is what we would call mediteranian, and her hair is jet black. She has bright cyan eyes, with cat like pupils. Her normal clothes are mainly plain blocks of colours, probably cyan (very popular colour amongst Katakaanian nobility), pine green, and sea blue. Her top and skirt would be matching (eg. mainly cyan with green trimmings, or mainly green with sea blue trimmings) She is high nobility, so may have fushia or trimings on her clothes, but not mainly purple, as that was a colour reserved for the High Emperess. Her cloak was forest green. Her assasins' clothes are the exact same shades of grey as in the picture. Her belt is black leather.

As for setings, think gothic cathedrals, the buildings of Oxford or Cambridge university, that sort of style. Lots of collumns and twiddly bits and spires.

Dante Rushdan replies: "Sounds good. As soon as I get a pose in my head i'll get to it."

I have completed my picture of Aarion. it is up on my Elfwood site. I have credited you, but I don't know how to link through.Oh, that's nice! I like mucho.It will be up on the tour as soon as I send my next entries to the mod queue. Thanks for having the time!

Great design!!!!!! It's cool how You got all those people to draw him.

Dante Rushdan replies: "Thanks! Hopefully, more artists will want to draw him. I love seeing all these different versions."

Are you sure your a teenager? God. You,ve probably been told this a hundred times but your brilliant. I'm a credit pupil at Port Glasgow High School in the west of Scotland in Britain and I take credit art. So I know art when I see it as I've studied it for 7 years. Anyway from 1 Teenager to another, well done.

Dante Rushdan replies: "Thanks, Kweejibo! An art student, huh? I'm thinking of taking college art classes over the summer, to fill my time. I need to learn proportions and different mediums. Thanks again, and nice nickname."

Nice. I like your clothing design, and the idea. If I did a drawing of him, could I change things about what he was wearing? Like an extra jacket, or a different head thing, or anything like that? Like he just has differnet sets of clothes? Nice shading, looks very smooth btw.

Dante Rushdan replies: "Sure, that would be cool. Thanks for taking a look."

Bladed shields, clever...
I would do a drawing, but I can’t draw, hence my being in the Wyvern’s Library. Sorry about that...
