Very nice, Pick! Especially the first one, though brother looks awful cheerful about having his shoulder clawed up.

I suspect its because that wound is about to have a change of venue, assuming the time period syncs up.

And the rest are very good, especially Shader's parents. Azzarns really don't seem to age that much physically.

The bands are there. If nothing else, that's why I drew black marks instead of wounds, which, like, be bleeding

.

They reach a peak at about thirty-five (probably about Shader's parent's age) to sixty, though legal maturity is twenty. Past that, they don't physically age at all

(other than getting taller.) That is why Edge's age was a serious surprise to Shader.

.... aaaand why in the first statements of introduction to Umber, Edge specifically referred to Umber as "ancient". Otherwise, they technically wouldn't know. The real difference between Umber's earlier appearance as opposed to his current is sleep deprivation, a lack of concern for upkeep to his looks, and about -40 pounds

Manly combat! Hoquer gets medieval on Edge's . . . shoulder.

nice pics, though I seems to still have problems telling the genders apart.

That's the sign of a great manga-ka, which Pick is becoming. It takes alot of talent to make characters that androg...er...bishounen.

My personal assumption was that he was grabbing Edge to hold him in place. Edge is a tricky bitch and has a tendency to slip away, even though he doesn't have to. Hoquer is extremely strong, but he isn't as quick as Edge is.

Also notably, if he's neglecting his weapon, he's probably pretty close to berserking....

Only girls familiar with shoujo comics probably would be able to reliably discern the genders

. It's no failing of yours. They have the whole fruity-elf thing going on pretty heavily

I have to respect a man who will hold someone by impaling them with his claws.

Mwhahahahaha!

Heyoo, people.

The horns look pretty cool.

Instant Sunrise · Post by **Instant Sunrise** » 2006-02-20 03:09pm

Looks amazing Pick, as usual.

The B&W actually gives it a nice look, which I like.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-02-20 03:23pm

What are the horns made of? They don't look ceramic.

They're ceramic too. All of the texturing was done with clay that was then painted. It was very difficult to get them right.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-02-21 05:00am

That is totally hardcore. Especially the horns. The texturing involved there is exceptional.

Your pictures and statue rock! You are a genius!

I swear I've seen horns or tusks just like that from some animal, but I can't remember what. Did you model them of anything?

Darth Raptor · Post by **Darth Raptor** » 2006-02-21 03:36pm

Your work is amazing as always, milady. I WILL get around to reading this fic someday. I just have a horrendous backlog of fiction I've promised people I'd read.

Doesn't stop me from oggling your Azzarns though.

Creepy! The eyes follow you!

(At least that's the impression I got on taking a second look. It seems to have gone away now, but still. Brrr.)

She's looking a bit to her right. So ignore the top picture, and look back and forth between the bottom two. The eyes do follow you.

I like the spikiness on the fingernails and feet, they really give the impression that it would fucking hurt to get mauled by them.

I think though, that that scythe looks unbalanced and breakable, I would have drawn it chunkier with a bigger counterweight at the head.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-02-23 01:00am

I really like the second sketch. "Good" or not, I can easily see him passing down judgement on someone, and doing it with just a little too much... feeling.

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-02-23 01:47am

If by feeling you mean splatting someone's head, then yes, I know what you mean.
