Theme #37: Eyes
Eyes lineart by ~miakakiri on deviantART
This piece is part of the 100 themes challenge I decided to do, theme #37 Eyes. It's based on The Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks, specifically because of a particular quote that popped into my head when I was thinking of what to do with various themes. This sorta took over and would not leave me alone, so I HAD to draw it.
The quote that inspired this is thus: (edited to just speech)
"Would you have me tell you of the eyes--eyes that follow you, eyes that seek you out at every turn? Love sees you in those eyes when they are the eyes that command the crystal. But dark intent sees you likewise when the eyes are sightless and born of your own birthright." Grimpond to Brin Ohmsford.
Yeah it's nowhere near finished, this is just the lineart, and my scanner messed it up a bit because the image is larger than the scanner surface. I drew it using up the entire page of my 9x12 sketchbook, and I think the scanner's only equipped to handle 8x11, so... yeah, it didn't quite work right. I will need to get access to a larger scanner to REALLY finish this. I'll pull up Photoshop or something to colour it with. Of course, I'll probably also make an inked copy and see what I can do with coloured pencils on it...
