I just wanted to pop in and say that because I pestered her on DeviantArt like I had planned to, you can now see some of Arkillian's lovely artwork on my Wiki!

So far -- and this is just because Rosella doesn't have one yet (probably tomorrow!) -- I've put some pictures on the articles for Valanice, Graham, Cassima, Edgar, and Alexander.

Why, yes, this post is mostly a shameless plug. :P

Hey- If I were to draw some lesser drawn characters (IE someone I haven't drawn before) who would people want to see, cause I'm kinda interested in drawing other characters too. I'm intrigued by the possibility of Manannan being the ranger for one thing (young!Manannan), or perhaps a rendition of Shadrack with or without the hood (there IS art Phoenix Online has released of him which is hoodless) or maybe Hasan (Ready to sail? XD I love it when he says that- I always mimic him  :sweetheart: )... there's so many characters ^^ I mean, the good guys get drawn alot. I want to give something less common a go.

I think what I'm saying is what bad guy do people want to see me draw? :D

I'm pretty sure anything you draw will be greatly admired around here :)


Hmm...maybe Lolotte? Or Mordack? I feel like they don't get drawn much, as far as the villains go.

Mordack maybe, but Lolotte is a female who is pretty and exotic. She gets drawn plenty (in comparison to other badguys). Lol- drawing Mordack and his skull cap feels like Flash Gordon fanart XD Will see how it goes :)

edit- man- that url went all WEIRD O.o

I've seen that picture of Lolotte before -- as much as I love it, it's still just one picture. It's really more of a dialogue portrait than anything -- there' still plenty of more room for other pictures!

I'd love to see some drawings of things we don't get to see in the games -- I mean, there's entire characters we only hear mentions of, or just get to read their epitaphs after they've died. How much fun would it be to be able to create a character's look from scratch for the King's Quest universe?

Also, I'd love to see artwork of Graham's card game against the firedrake -- it's mentioned in the Companion and in that Hoyle's card/board game program Sierra did, that Graham would have won if the firedrake hadn't incinerated the cards. That'd be an awesome scene to see.

I'm just throwing things out there, if anything inspires you then my job here is done. :P

The URL's still a bit weird, but i'll fix it in a moment. That's an awesome picture though!

... Woah- the card game. Now that's something I have absolutely NO idea about XD. Never played it, and I barely know what you're talking about (I found it by stumbling onto some screen shots a few weeks back. That's all I know about it though :( )

I donno. Drawing dead people would be more interesting if I had more context to draw from, but I find those graves more humorous to read about than to sit there and draw. I mean... if it was for something then I'd have something to flesh out but drawing something that has little meaning to me is... I donno. It's not too inspiring. I draw OCs- don't get me wrong! I'm just not the type to make up a character that has no purpose or... character. It's alot of time to draw a person that means nothing to you :(

This is why I figure drawing some bad guys. They dont' get drawn much, but there's context to drawing them.

And thanks Katie :) I kinda rush my posts in between phone calls T.T

I really like the one that jokes about how royalty seem to have trouble remembering how to swim sometimes  :suffer:

HAH! This is true. Royalty have excess luck, but little sense of self preservation. They need constant reminders not to kill themselves XD

Graham is sure developing some swimming issues in Ep4:

Arkillian, do you ever do drawings based on photos? I like your art and would like to pay you for a color drawing of my miniature dachshunds, in the future. I'm broke through next month, but maybe in January.

Arkillian

I could, but I'm not too great at animals :/ I can try. I can't guaranty my results though.



DawsonJ

Ok. We'll see what ideas come up. There's still time. How much trouble is it for a colorful picture? (Think Etheria's rainbow slides scene in KQ7.)

Arkillian

I'm not sure what you mean ^^; Colour is in context with the picture it belongs to. Are you still wanting a picture of a dog, or is it now Etheria? I mean, colour for the sake of colour is pointless without reason. I can draw a picture and colour it. I don't know what you mean by colourful though.

Heh, yeah, that happened to me as well. Quite odd.
So what if I am, huh? Anyways, I work better when I'm drunk. It makes me fearless! If I see a bad guy, I'll just point my sword at him and saaaaaaaaaay, "Hey! Bad guy! You're not s'posed to be here! Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!

Arkillian

Funniest bug ever? It happened to me too. I thought it was my video card breaking. My computer may be BSOD cause of it >.>

Sorry, I'm trying to come up with ideas of images to request. I should have clarified that.

Ah, ok. It's probably best not to worry too much about till it happens :) Colours are decided upon when you know the content and the feel of the picture. It's not really a think of 'Draw Rosella and rainbows' It's more 'Draw Rosella in Etheria' or something like that. Or draw a rainbow themed Rosella pic. That kind of thing. A picture doesn't need to necessarily be bright colours to be happy.

It's not King's Quest art, but it's fun:-

[spoiler][/spoiler]

A picture I drew for a Christmas count down for a fan club of Miles Edgeworth  and Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney. I got the 5th of December so I thought it'd be fun to theme it 5 gold rings rather than the usual fluff Christmas art can be. As soon as I thought this, I imagined the old school hip hop bling where they had those rings that covered all your fingers and loled hard. Had to draw it, but I separated the rings so the theme was more obvious. I hope people enjoy :)
