One of my favorite scenes in the third installment, Traitor's Moon, is when a dragon bites Alec in the ear. 8D The custom of dyeing such bites blue leaves the boy with a nice piercing-esque tattoo on said appendage., and I thought it'd be a nice scene to illustrate as my first NR fanart attempt.
Only I gave up clothing him not even half-way and left it at that. OTL
Also spent an obscene amount of time analyzing Jonathan Brandis images since that's who Flewelling (otterdance) mentions Alec resembles the most in her mind. Don't think all the scrutinizing did much help though, since I tried to portray his "honest face" and all he turns out looking like is some happy-go-lucky, not-quite-jailbait. OH WELL.
This is not quite how I envision Seregil--of course, this would suggest that I have a concrete mental image of Seregil to begin with. Not so. I don't do much envisioning of book characters in all honesty. My imagination is a very hazy place in terms of literary subjects ha ha ha. ... Somehow he looks like a generic APH!China? IDEK. I also obviously cannot design clothing for the love of anything holy.
The trippy colors are a byproduct of wanting to try out a goldfish effect (hence the splotches of orange and red), and also sheer laziness. Though, messing with the filters probably took as much time as would be needed had I colored it properly.
