Feralan and hCevian

Feralan and hCevian, originally uploaded by Lady Rowyn.

For my art project this weekend, I ended up trying to do an icon for Feralan and hCevian from sythyry. It's a huge portrait thing because somehow I cannot ever draw an icon at any size within an order of magnitude of actual icon size. I am now sick of working on it, so I'm giving up.

I wanted to do hCevian (the sea urchin thing on Feralan's shoulder) in black, but at icon size he looks like Feralan's hair or something. So I ended up making him more blue. Now it looks like Feralan has spiky blue hair at icon size. Sigh. Right, giving up.

Well, when I look at the icon, hCevian doesn't look like Feralan's hair. Of course, if I didn't know the context, I'd wonder why there's a sea urchin on the raccoon's shoulder.

Yay!

I'm not sure what I can do about the missing context. I think it just has to look weird if you don't know what hCevian is (or what it looks like). n_n

There isn't anything, that I can think of, that you can do about the context; I was just trying to convey that I think the icon works. ^_^

:) Thanks, I appreciate that.

I like the hands. They look a lot like the ones my rats have, which I imagine is like racoon's hands. :)
