Picture Happy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ichiban_victory!! May she be blessed with a brighter and warmer year! As a gift, here's her paladin, Relina, riding her faithful griffin, Thorvir. I was going to do a typical Z/A fanart, but I do have particular interests in mythical characters. I wish I had the time to properly color it but it does look good like this as well. I know the

You really think I'd complain? I LOVE when I get artwork of Relina! A/Z is always great, but Relina is my own creation so I have such a soft spot for her (perhaps even moreso knowing she's technically dead now). This looks great! I'll gladly take you up on the HD sketch though. The wallpaper ought to look great on my laptop, but the pixels scream at me from the huge desktop. But I love it anyway!

(Hee hee, so Amelia and Zelgadis fell overboard and were saved by an Orca? If you want to see more Orcas, you ought to head to the northern parts of Puget Sound, or hope to get lucky when riding one of the Seattle ferries. Our neighbors are close by!)

I am so happy you like it! Actually I didn't know what you'd think but I couldn't shake the idea out of my head. If I remembered correctly, you iMac's resolution is pretty big isn't it? xD
(alright one HS sketch coming right up!)

(Yes apparently so! :D Ohhhhh, i should definitely do that instead! thanks for the tip! Now, to find a reason to go to Puget Sound with the rest of the family.)

[ichiban_victory]

The resolution is 1920x1200, so yes, it's pretty huge. ^_-;;

Hey, well, if you ever go up to Vancouver again, take the ferry from Port Angeles! Then you might see something out in the water, but if not, you can go up to Stanley Park in Vancouver and visit the aquarium. They don't have orcas, but they do have belugas, dolphins, and many other native marine mammals. The place is amazing! (And I was too poor to get a whale plush for myself, but someday I will return!)

[kokumi009]

Ah! then I shall include an even higher resolution then! (in fact i'll give it to you in it's original size!)

The aquarium sounds like a lovely idea! in fact, i'll do that the next time I go to Canada! XD
I can probably even take a boat ride back home to Washington if it's available.

Oh good, they did arrive. I was getting worried they've gotten lost in mail. I'm glad you like them and I think they fit that whale nicely. If Gourry can have a giant jellyfish, why can't they have a whale? ^_~

Again, thank you for the print, it's gorgeous. I just love it so much! ^_^

[kokumi009]

So sorry for the delayed notice. Seems that the back-to-school rush threw my mind off for a while.
As long as Zel isn't too heavy, the whale would be just as happy as they are. XD

[earthstar_moon]

It's okay, it's been a busy time for everyone. (I remember how things can slip your mind when the matter of school is involved.) ^_~

[lunaoh]

Woah, that's amazing. O_O; Relinaa~

And those plushies are just too cute. Aww! ^^

[kokumi009]

Thanks! Relina is a cool character!
they are~~ <3

"(not to mention the griffin's body should be much bigger)"

Perhaps it's a griffinoodle- like a regular griffin, but smaller and more expensive. :B

That aside, I love the art, and the plushies are adorable.

[ichiban_victory]

Or Relina's just taller than the average elf, so she makes a large griffin look not so large. ^_- Considering Thorvir was her mount she used in combat, larger is not always better.

[kokumi009]

I've actually heard theories about taller elves! (somehow like the Navi people in Avatar)
So it kinda makes sense looking from that perspective. ^^

[kokumi009]

well, they do say the best things can come in smaller packages. XD
thank you! haha.

I love those plushies lol. <3 Seeing Zel and Amelia riding a whale is somehow very amusing to me.
