This is the final bit of the wedding related artworks that you’ll see from us! \u00a0I know, it’s very sad, but everything about our wedding was glorious. \u00a0There was only the tiniest bit of drama, and it doesn’t stand up at all to how amazing the whole experience was. \u00a0So don’t fret… just enjoy this latest piece of artwork.<\/p>\n
One of the things that I wanted to do was make sure my groomsmen felt very appreciated. \u00a0They took me on an awesome bachelor party (white water rafting, could not be happier), and they all did a great job helping out the day of the wedding.<\/p>\n
One of the things that I got them was a personalized flight paddle and beer glasses so that they had something practical (and a little nod to the rafting trip). \u00a0But I also wanted to show these guys how I see them. \u00a0They’re all heroes in their own way, and they’ve inspired me in ways that the don’t even know. \u00a0With that in mind, we ended up going to work trying to get a cool portrait done with the Tellest characters that they helped me to create over the years.<\/p>\n
My initial aim was to try and get RedPear, who has always done an awesome job with the characters, to do this ensemble piece. Unfortunately, because of school related work, we were unable to collaborate. \u00a0She sent me to her friend Yanisaran though, who I’m happy to say took me up on the offer.<\/p>\n
The first thing to make sure we had down was the way Eclipse looked. \u00a0He was a character who was only briefly seen in The Bindings of Fate<\/em>, but began to play a big part in the second book an onward. Yanisaran took the references shot that I gave her and put together a decent sketch of the character:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After that, it was time to put together the sketches of the full piece.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
