Trust me

Hi everyone, here's a sketch of Alan that I did.

I was thinking specifically of the description of Alan looking so nice and trustworthy that you don't register that he's carrying a gun, but I can't find it :(.

Heh, that's because Alan is 1) constantly looking trustworthy and 2) always carrying a gun. :D I think there's a couple of scenes where it's specifically mentioned-- the first chapter, when he convinces Jamie and Mae to come inside, sometime around the Goblin market, when he's trying to reassure them that nothing's all that weird, and the scene I think you might be thinking of is right before they're all about to have a Gerrard-torturing party. {:\

I love the colors you got in the clothes and in the shadows! Painterlyness is sexy. Really nice expression, too-- If he asked, I'd totally lend him $20. And only maybe because he was holding a gun.

Interested in concrit?

:sigh: I keep looking, but I'm starting to think I must've hallucinated it, or possibly read it in one of Sarah's interviews.

Concrit away if you like, though, as this sketch stopped thrilling me when I realized I had no clue where the hell he was standing (and there's an idea of Nick and Liannan I'm more interested in working on), I can't promise I'll go back and change much.

Nick and Liannan! Awesome, can't wait ( ... )

ps- if you want revenge, man do I have a pile of images that could use someone else's redlining. Faces: UG.

I love his slightly uneven stance there.

Thanks! I was trying to make it look like he might limp, without, yanno, doing an animation of him walking.

Oooh. Absolutely lovely.

Thankyou!

This is really nifty. Aw, Alan. Very nice job!

Regarding the description you mention, I'm not sure and can't check just now, but it rings very familiar - and I believe it may be from the posted part of the TDL chat; did you read it or were you in it? :)

I look forward to seeing your take on Nick!

Thanks!

No, and no, I'm afraid. I think Lemonfish upthread is right that it's something about him having six concealed weapons. What kills me is that I JUST reread the book a couple of days ago. You'd think my memory'd be better than this.
