*Runs into room and slams fist on table* IT IS DONE
I finally finished DarkRawen's art trade! ...Just way, way too late - I'm so sorry! This is actually not even my first attempt at the drawing, because I wasn't happy with my first version so I scrapped it. Anyway...

Hans Sebastian Really Hates Paperwork

ugh the lighting really makes it look bad

I'm just going to say this now: I actually really enjoy watercolour, and feel it's one of the few mediums that I have acquired some level of skill in. What I didn't take into account was how different colouring portraits is compared to say, landscape or still life. Soooo, I've learnt something, and really need to work on using watercolour for portraits. That is all.

It looks fabulous!

Thank you! (And honestly I don't really know myself. It takes a lot of random colour mixing, layers, and pure determination, with a 50/50 chance of success each time ;))

KauniitaUnia: Poor Hans Sebastian, he gets all the newbie boring jobs! His skin definitely looks better with the lowered contrast, althoug I like the effect of the paper on the high-contrast one.

And I thought I wouldn't make any more ssssonas before leaving for Bergen tomorrow evening. I was wrong.
Karna is "able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime".
(Well, an armchair is perhaps not a very unorthodox place to fall asleep. Buut I couldn't think of anything else when I did it oh wait of no
Facepalm! I realize as I'm typing it should have been a tree! Of course it should have been a tree. Ngh. I Will not be able to not go back and tailor that armchair into a tree)




googling "sleeping in armchair", I only found either pretty boring poses or horribly photoshopped ones, so this one is all my own! Hand-drawing has improved  :)

*EDIT* Convenient tree is convenient.

-Forbidden to go to the mage academy by her parents- her aunt Karen died a mysterious death there. She's really annoyed about all the secrecy.

-her grandparents raise sheep, so she knits a lot. she also collects interesting rocks.

It's part of my magey abilities, obviously. Magic freaky timing powers. (vague waving of arms)

I refuse to excuse your drawing abilities because I really like your style! Especially the face ;D So welcome to the world of self-inserts!

This is probably really confusing without context
Ok, so context: Vi texts me in Icelandic (and other languages, but mostly Icelandic). I don't know Icelandic, nor do I have the intention of learning it anytime soon. This does not stop her.
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.
