Description I have done this one for KwapiKwapisz, on her FanFiction "In the End" about Murtagh from Christopher Paolini's Inheritance-Cycle (and Jazira is her original character). You should read it if you're interested in the Eragon-books, she's really good at writing!
Another point was that I wasn't satisfied with my old version of Murtagh anymore and wanted to give him another try. I went for dark-brown hair instead of black this time, because I thought there was already enough black in the picture (that's also why I chose to colour the shirt red instead of the average black he's usually wearing. And of course it matches the colour of his dragon, Thorn ).
And it was rather difficult to find a way to draw Jazira, because I didn't want to spoil her I had different kinds of dresses in mind, for example, and it took me some time to find THE dress.
It was difficult as well to find a good "scene" to put them both in... I was not sure how I should make them interact. But I think it turned out quite well

To colour it, I used fineliners for the outlines, then coloured pencils for hair and clothes. The only exceptions are the hem of Jazira's dress, which is done with a gold felt-tip, and the hem of Murtagh's shirt, done with silver felt-tip.
Jazira's dress's hem was extremely difficult to colour, because of the details on the sleeves!

So Kwapi, I hope you'll like it

And to everyone else: If you're interested in reading the story, use this link to her page ~KwapiKwapisz !!!
(If you already know the story, please don't kill me if you imagined Jazira differently )

Thank you very, very much!
I was a bit worried if I could get Jazira right, first... But then, I was glad she liked it (I was surprised when she asked me to try and draw Jazira, because there are so many amazing artists on this site...)
And I'm glad you also like it!!!

Oh-I love it!!
I donΒ΄t know the fan fic-not yet^^-but it looks interesting. Is it a lovestory or do you just wanted to highlight this aspect of the story? But-who care- itΒ΄s about love-so I will love it anyway^^
Like the colours(this green and gold really fits together) and the shadowing of the clothes and the lighting effect of the hair. And the sleeves are amazing^^
And I agree- this "scene" I think-does more say thana hug or kiss. So I like her hands-they speak of deep feelings.

Thank you !!!
Yeah, if you want to read something Eragon-ish again after a while (I think you haven't read it lately, have you? Neither have I With all the other books we were reading ), you should really read it
Kwapi's style of writing is really good! It's about Murtagh's experiences in Uru'baen (spelling?) after the battle of Farthen Dur. Jazira is her original character.
They meet there and develop feelings for each other, but of course, they both aren't sure about them, yet Can't really say though, what the main aspect of the story is, because it's very balanced... Which is good! I think that sometimes it's difficult to keep the balance between all aspects of a story, but she manages it quite well.
Thanks - her hands were driving me crazy when I drew them! First, I had them just hanging down on either side of her, but it didn't look good. So I went for this version

Yes, it's wonderful I love how Murtagh is holding her face, and Jazira looks unsure. So sweet! And Murtagh looks great haha As for more you can do anything! If you ever have the urge to draw a scene or character from my story have at it! I love this

THX
First, I was not really sure what I should make them do, like I mentioned in my comment... I first thought of maybe them holding hands or something, but then I decided against that, because 1, I don't know what you've planned for them, so... and 2, I thought THIS *points at picture* would express better that they are not sure about their feelings for each other (well, at the moment)
I'm really excited to see what you will write next
And I'm so glad you like it
I will But if you should ever want any special picture again, feel free to ask, it was fun to do this

Well I like what they are doing, looks very sweet and unsure I will hopefully work on part 21 soon!

I would love for you to do more of them together, especially as we see where their relationship goes
