Artist's Comments

At long last, I have finished this piece.

I actually REALLY enjoyed working on this... Erebus was a massive challenge but a joy to work with after I go the hang of drawing him. I learned a lot about watercolors while working on him, as well. :)

This is a cruddy photo taken just so I could show her I was done. :D I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to get a high-quality version of the piece to D'jm short of sending her the piece itself but BY GOLLY I AM GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

Erebus belongs to :icon8y7-d2j: and :icon8y7-d2j: only.

I'm so glad you like it!! I am SO happy with how he turned out.. I fretted over him for most of yesterday. :) He's the best thing Ive ever painted and I wish my scanner would scan the whole thing instead of just pieces...

Which brings me to the problem of how to get a copy to you. >_< How do artists you work with usually get your prints to you? First time I've done it this way.

Rujikat, I'm glad you had fun with Erebus' illustration!=D I try challenging artists with unusual characters, and like to see their different interpretations.:-) Hmm, the last artist who worked on a traditional media commission, :iconunyko:, had gone to a print-shop, Kinkos, if memory serves, to get a photocopy done of the picture.

You certainly DID challenge me!! I had a LOT of fun with it though. :) To be honest when you described him to me the first tiem I had NO idea how I was going to draw him... XD

I'm trying to find a Kinko's in Blacksburg that I can take the piece to. :) Once I get it made I'll have it mailed to you! :D

BGS ARE SATAN

But yeah I suppose I should work on them. I was half-tempted to try painting some clouds around his one but I was too afraid of messing it up... I'm going to practice on my own stuffs before I start doing so on stuff people give me money for. XD

I have found I REALLY like watercolors... though they are SUPER INCONSISTENT AND STRESSFUL.

^^;Yeah, sometimes I think I go overboard with my characters' descriptions, sorry about that. It's like, "How in the ever-lovin' world am I goin' to be able to draw -this!-":O_o: Again, thank you for accepting the Erebus commission, Rujikat, and for looking into making a print.:hug:
