King's Own )

I'm so pleased I made them all seated :D This is what I had in my head when I started. I love how they all came out, my boys! I love the character in their poses, which was the main reason I drew them sitting (final reason being it fits best in the top right corner of the page where they go in the Big Book of Stuff). I love how their clothing came out and the contrasts between the showffs and those who'd rather just sit on the sidelines; between Kaen and Rumal, especially. Both are absolutely 100% flaunting their wealth, but Kaen's SO much classier about it. The archers scrubbing themselves up under their royal new recruit's influence. Anganur, Ulkar and Kaen, my brick shithouses, toll-u and lanky Gylepi and Yoryl Noodlearm... I'm just so happy with all these boys.

Particular shoutouts to Cassie, who's been so long since she posted I completely forget her username on DW, for helping me so much with these boys. From help on how to specifically improve faces or poses, to redlining Kaen's face to make him less freshfaced 20-year-old and more maaaaan, to general 'y'know you can totally do feet better, stop cheating on them' pushes. She makes me so much better :<

King's Own Makakis )

This'd work better if they were in a scene but that'd mean drawing a scene annnnnd I can't be bothered. They're starting to look like a real species now, though, pleased about that! When I get all the character art done I'll be moving onto kingdom art, which will include wildlife, and I plan to do a full, detailed set on drawing them. How their heads work, feet, exactly where the angles on the back go. Like some of these guys are pretty flat-footed on the front feet while others are more up on their toes, be good to standardise that kind of thing. Working through them like this before doing that makaki design sheet works for me, tho, because this is how I've been figuring out how I want to draw them. Some of their necks are too short. Big beefy destrier chests are fun, too, especially compared with their boney little butts.

King's Own Swords )

Lefties represent XD I've also added Nimay's and Nol's to this one, Nimay's entirely unchanged except to give it the curved blade, Nol the same plus I've given him a more detailed guard, which was the obvious place to put some royal swirlies.

YAY THEY'RE DONE!

Title~ Schizophrenia, Yay!
Author~ Annarti
Disclaimer~ Still mine
Notes~ 25 Moods Challenge =D So it's not technically one story, just a whole bunch of little snippets all focused on Nol. I was going to do Shizaaqa and use it as a characterising excercise, but then I got stuck on 'happy', which is number one of the list. Oops.

Anyway. I did change a couple of the moods for my own reasons: Pleased was too much like happy, so I turned that into guilty, much more fun >) Hollow/blank... Nol doesn't do hollow/blank. The only time he's ever been blank in his life was when Naraan died, which was obviously what I'd already done for bereft. I was at uni with the full intention of using my four hours there to plough through the list of moods, wrote bereft, got depressed, and spent the rest of the time looking at GW screenies instead. The next one on the list was flirty, and I couldn't write that after just killing Naraan >< So I turned hollow/blank into bored instead. It's sorta related to hollow/blank >> Sorta kinda not really ^^;

Angry and enraged were HARD, because again, Nol doesn't DO angry. Irritated, fine, plenty of things irritate him: peasants, foreign royalty, heatwaves, being overcharged, Kazinian wilderness, blade archers. None of it makes him properly angry tho, so those were bloody tricky. When it happens tho? Damn~ he can be scary o.o;

*shuts up and posts the damn thing*

Disclaimer~ Still mine, even tho I haven't touched them in months
Notes~ kawa~ 94. I've had an idea like this on my mind for AGES, and I've tried to write it two or three times before, but it's never worked. This time tho, I think I'm happy with it. From Inel's pov, the night before they cross the border into Kazin, specifically on the mission they're currently on. Not really a fic so much as observations.

Title~ Southerner
Author~ Annarti
Disclaimer~ Still mine
Notes~ Genesis 114. Another introduction fic. This is~ Rumal, another of the swordies of the King's Own. He grew up south of the Main Road, which is the seedy part of Ni-Yana, for those who've forgotten the first intro fic I did. He's not proud of it, and he's done his best to get rid of that reputation, but yeah, people still resent him being in the Own.

When a Raykinian says 'southerner', they're generally referring to someone living south of the Main Road in Ni-Yana, rather than from southern Raykin. If they're talking about the whole country, then it tends to be upstream and downstream, highlanders and delta dwellers, not north and south.

Title~ Chef
Author~ Annarti
Disclaimer~ Still mine
Notes~ Genesis 100. Introducing the riders of the King's Own, starting with Kurae, just cos the word fitted. Swordie-come-chef, very cliquey with the other swordies and very stony-faced to everyone else. He also fancies Yoryl, the ohsogay blade archer of the Own, but no way in hell is he going to show it. Woulda put that in the fic, but he's more chef than he is Yoryl fancier, and Yoryl hasn't been to Assiraz yet (capital of Kazin, where the spice markets are. I really need to do an intro to Kazin fic, don't I? ... Later =P)
