NaArMaMo Day 19 - Stark and Zhaan

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is Stark and Zhaan for [livejournal.com profile] lizamanynames who recently got married, and [livejournal.com profile] astrogirl2 who had her worst birthday ever (and this picture is somewhat appropriate, bwahahaha). No shmoop or dying plants.

Stark and Zhaan



Drawing, colour wash, then lots of GIMPage with graphics tablet

My NaArMaMo Gallery is here.

Oh, that's lovely. I bet Farscape fans are printing this up to frame.

[huge grin] It's not big enough for that. :-) I can make a larger version though; I scaled this down but I fiddled a bit more after that. It took ages till I was happy with it and Zhaan's colours. :-P

Awwwwww! I want to hug them and their cuteness! :)

....OMG, that's FANTASTIC.

Heee, I seee them like, POSING for this portrait in a market on some commerce planet...

[livejournal.com profile] entropy_house is right, I want to print this out and FRAME it. ♥

I particularily love Stark's face. You captured him so well.

Permission to link to this on [livejournal.com profile] periodicgoddard?

[blush] I'm flattered, but feel free! [goes to look] Wow, you run that too? :-)

Yeah, they do look a bit like they're posing for a portrait. Stark is a bit nervous and Zhaan is her usual calm self. :-)

If you want a larger version (500 wide instead of 375, I think), I can do that though it might be slightly different because I fiddled a bit more in GIMP after I scaled it. Let me know and I'll e-mail it. It's not that much bigger though.

Well, who else was going to? :D

That'd be lovely, thanks!

Got it! Thanks!

That's really sweet. They look like such a happy, functional couple--which they certainly always would have been if they'd had the chance to have more than, like, 2 weeks together.

Yeah. [sniff]

Aww, so contented and happy. They deserve that pic!

They deserved more!
