100TC - 5. Seeking Solace - Part A by raxgond[100TC5A] Seeking Solace by Ryxedieos
"Weep for it, little one, all the things that make your heart ache with despair. The purity of the water will wash it all away; the past cannot be changed, but a hope and a future lies ahead of you, waiting for you to step towards it and claim it."

-Fai Winthrop, "Like Father, Like Son" chapter of the Seldrac series


First off, I'm quite aware the text is a bit hard to read; it's meant to be an interesting background effect and add to the detail there, if that makes sense. I also discovered something new in Photoshop while doing this picture, so I'm pretty pleased. Speaking of, I've had this image done for a while and forgot to upload it. Whoops!

Here we have my characters Reillyn Az Hachrea Ilsturr and Fai Winthrop from the still unnamed Seldrac series. The former is the little black / red / green pileated woodpecker; the latter is the incredibly bright and colorful phoenix. The quote makes more sense in the actual chapter it comes from (context, of course) as does the reason "seeking solace" fits these characters - but you can probably deduce the relationship between these two characters from the title of the chapter alone. Fai, who is actually Reillyn's ancestor, acts something like a mixture of a parent and close friend to Reillyn, and if it wasn't for the fact that it is hard (if not impossible) to feel uncomfortable around Fai due to his benevolent aura, Reillyn would probably be actually very intimidated by him since Fai is a very important / powerful figure in the series.

Anyways, enjoy! I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out. c:

Wow, this Picture really caught my Attention and I just had to have a closer look on it :)
It's such a fanciful and also enchanting drawing -the characters you created are so impressive and are looking to me like a mixture of mythology and asian culture.
The best about this drawing are of course the vivid and intensive colours - it's like an Explosion of you colour Palette :D
Absolutely amazing!
You did a very good Job and I love it!
