It's colder than before The seasons took all they had come for Now winter dances here It seems so fitting don't you think To dress the ground in white and grey?
It's so quiet I can hear… My thoughts touching every second That I spent waiting for you Circumstances afford me No second chance to tell you How much I've missed you
My beloved do you know When the warm wind comes again Another year will start to pass And please don't ask me why I'm here Something deeper brought me Than a need to remember
Grant me wings that I might fly My restless soul is longing No pain remains, no feeling Eternity awaits
Partial lyrics from "Beloved" by VNV Nation. ----
A "speedpaint" (I use the term loosely because this actually took me three days and there's some pencil in it) of Morgan and Nimri, in a moment that may never happen. It's the dead of winter and she is out of his reach, now, secluded away in heavily-guarded quarters. He was forced to return her to her people when she was poisoned in a brutal attack, and though she will recover in time, both her physical strength and her power as queen, he may have lost her forever.

So. I love your pictures. I don't know what else to say! They're amazing and I am so jealous of your talent! But, (and this may just be my stupidity), I want to read the story and when I click on the link it only shows me your artwork, character biographies and a map. WHERE CAN I READ THE STORY?!
Um, I've got an odd question . . . I've recently started doing illustrations to go with some stories I'm working on (neither are professional by any stretch of the imagination), but I have problems with drawing the pointed ears I need for one boy who is a dragon in disguise (For lack of a better way of putting it at the moment; and no, that's not how it's phrased in the story.). I was wondering if you would mind if I used your ears for reference while I practice. I've never drawn ears like this before, and I wanted to ask before I do it. (I'm NOT trying to steal your art, nor do I plan to take credit for it, but I need something to look at to go by when I'm first starting out. And if you say no, please be gentle. I feel really bad about asking you about this . . .)
I don't have much experience with drawing anatomically correct ANYTHING, so . . . Heh, yeah. All my friends give me weird looks when I ask to draw their ears and noses as practice. (I can't imagine why. <-*sarcasm*) So pictures and the Internet are my only sources for practice images . . .

And once again, thank you so much!
