Description A truly dramatic scene, for those who know what's happening and who the hell are those two people.
I brushed off the dust from my fantasy vein and made this fanart for the awesome Order of the Stick [link] , a webcomic by Rich Burlew... I've been following it ever since... what, 2006? maybe even more, and yet, only now I muster up the guts to do fanart about it.

The occasion is strip #641, [link] where Vaarsuvius, androgynous elven wizard, faces his/her no less androgynous mate, Inkyrius, after 'selling' his/her soul to demons in order to save him/her and their adopted children from an angry Black dragon...
...and finds said mate terrified of him/her and trying -rather foolishly- to fend him/her off with a twig.

The whole arc is really touching and quite different from what the comic had been so far, since it's mostly a comedic/satyric comic... even more so because V had never before displayed such strong feelings... it made me so sad at the time... Γ©_Γ¨

...anyway, here it is, Vaarsuvius and Inkyrius during their last meeting so far. <3
Lineart and coloring with Paint Tool Sai, a little bit of PS for some effects.

p.s. I'm sorry if the pronouns are confusing, but I don't have the slightest idea about which one is male or female, they could be both females or both males. Only the Giant knows the truth. XD

Inkyrius is crying! Nice detail, but I need a tissue.

I mostly use Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai.. though it's been a while ever since I have colored something digitally.
Thanks again, btw β™₯

Vaarsuvius is my fav charactor from order of the stick and this scene was one of the best from the story to date I love what you have done with the demonic souls they look truely malevolent, I have thought about doing a fanart of this scene to but got a wee bit stumped on how to draw the sould that were given to V, but I think the way you have done them is perfect I am so glad you managed to muster up the courage becouse what you have done is simply fantastic

Wow thanks~ it's been months since I last drew something, but I started back and the newest drawing I'm doing so far, even though it's still just a sketch, is a Vaarsuvius fanart again~

I really liked this scene too, and the newst 3 pages or so kinda got me a little of inspiration back, ahah~

yes, it took a while to color, but the lineart was sort of pure instinct.. in fact, I wanted to draw the kids too, but after I was done with them two, I realized that there wasn't enough space in the composition XD

Ansugaru [2010-03-01 15:46:36 +0000 UTC]

awesome! that part was one of my favourites!!

Maybe there should have been a little more details for the ghosts. Now they look like Aliens from the early 60Β΄s. :-/
But thatΒ΄s my opinion. Everything else ist just great!!

Extra points for the children being part of the scene: not gained :-/

I dunno, I kinda like the wacky fuzzy look on the ghosts XΒ°D and now that you said that they look like aliens from the 60's I like them even more! XΒ°D

about the children: I would have really liked drawing them too, but couldn't find a right way to make it all fit in into an A4 sheet XD

maybe if you could partielly see them behind the uhhhhhh.....mom/dad/it that would be perfectly. you know. little children hiding behind moms/dads back...

headraline In reply to Ansugaru [2010-03-05 20:24:04 +0000 UTC]

I tried, but I wasn't satisfied with the result and perspective, I probably should have drawn the children first, and then the parent.
Next time, I guess. XD
