Bardic Voices (Book 1: The Lark and the Wren) by Mercedes Lackey
I previously introduced Bardic Voices in my FS blog and said that I'll work on a Rune character impression sketch. And I did.
But since I had to return the book to the owner because they had fire (and she's not sure if she could get back to work where my mom does) , I wasn't able to finish it. :( I'm quite sad... My first impression on the book is that it's full of adventures and fiddle playing...
Anyways, I used the book's front cover as a basis for Rune. She looked kinda old there, despite being only 16 years old. She was described in the book as "tall, thin,..." and I friggin' forgot, but they're trying to give her the impression that she's not too attractive... That's not how my mind visualized her, seeing that she's the MAIN CHARACTER, and she FIDDLES, and those things kinda make me think that she's gotta be good-looking somehow. My sketch ended up like this:
This is the raw, uncleaned/untouched-by-photoshop version, which explains why it's got stains and it's messy. I can't give more details on the fiddle because I don't have a good reference for it, aside from the book cover, which happens to be small and a bit dark... I wanted to put more details on her clothes too...
I changed Rune's clothes too because...err, she's 16, wth...
I also made a Rune expressions sheet.
It's not complete, though, considering that I don't want to guess her complete personality. These are horrible, but nonetheless, who cares, right? It's not like it'd get published outside blogspot anyway... Oh yeah, and the back image was the Promervaile Shaia portrait... It's so dark that it got scanned along ^^'
I was going to make one for Rune's mother too, who was described in the book as "pretty, doll-faced Stara" but I forgot how I visualized her. :( That's all.
