"Brothers in arms" by Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson

SF&F Picture 6 out of 27 by Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson

SciFi and Fantasy Art Brothers in arms by Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson

'I knew the day would come, me and you would reunite! We shall deny fate, and follow our own paths! Join me like you did so many years ago Notos.'
'I am back brother.'
-RPG The Astral War. Chapter 10

Lucius and Notos had the world at their feet, they were young, powerful and ruthless. Then reality caught up with them and Notos was the one to face the consequenses. They would not see eachother for at least 100 years, and when they did it would be as bitter rivals.

I spent at least 18 hours on this painting, and I must say that I'm quite proud of it, even if there are some flaws. Lucius is standing on the left with a key in his hand , and Notos is the blonde.

19 Jun 2005	Sarah K. Billson	Loading... The very first thing I noticed about this picture was how very beautiful their eyes are. They are full of life, and your eyes are immediately drawn to them, into their almost inescapable gazes. Gorgeous. I love their wings, they look very neat, if a little small. One thing is their faces seem to taper a bit too severely at the chin, but if that's a case of your own personal preference, then I'll keep my 'square-jaw loving' mouth shut. ^_~ Oh and the background is gorgeous, not too detailed but a beautiful silhouette. Keep it up! first comment jingle Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "Thank you so much for your wonderful comment!Something went unusally right with this picture, including the eyes. ^^Ah, yes, I know that the wings are way too small to carry them. But I'm thinking that perhaps angels doesn't weigh anything at all. Besides I'm not that fond of enormous wings.I've never been a fan of the square jaw. It'll haunt me eventually... "
27 Jun 2005	Yvonne Marie Honeyball	Loading... wow! you're perfecting your watercolour st5yle all the time, this is amazing! all the little details, the background is gorgeus, and i actually like the stylized faces. wonderful ~Y~ Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "Thank you!"
29 Jun 2005	Kidnero	Loading... As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms Dire Straits - Brothers in arms, a very good song by a extremly good band. If I compare this drawing with that song, well, it stands up. I love this one too. I like most of it, but the background is just so right. Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "I had to run and listen to the song (thankfully we had a Dire Straits CD), and though slightly more peaceful than I would've expected I think you're right. Thank you very much for the compliment! "
22 Sep 2005	Erin Elizabeth Phillips	Loading... Wow, the colors! I wish I could use watercolors to that effect! When I try to use them, everything starts turning the same blobby nasty brown color. I love their faces- the expressions and the facial structures are just perfect! One little nitpick though, the blond one's hand seems a bit small. Other than that, wonderful! Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "Thank you very much!If your colours turn brown it could be because you don't let them dry. I always let one colour (or layer) dry before aplying the next. If you're as impatient as me, you could use a hairdryer.Ah, yes, I noticed the hand too. It is small,but the scan has soehow melted it away and made it even smaller!"
19 Oct 2005	Fletcherz	Loading... Gorgeous picture, you can definitely see progress since some of your earlier pieces (not to say that they were bad!) the delicate toning, particularly on the faces, is great. Also love the contrast of the focussed foreground and less detailed background. As ever, love your choice of colours. Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "Many thanks!"
20 Oct 2005	Tonje Bakken	Loading... really good picture, the colors are just beautiful, and the black hair, just love long black hair, it's one of the things that I love most in the world, long hair on boys hihi! very very good, the only thing that I think is a little strange is his finger, but it is not a big thing! Keep working, make more boys with such lovely hair!!! Malin ´Silver Wind´ Nilsson replies: "Thank you!Yes I know, the hands are a bit wonky...I guess I got lazy."
