Hush, now is hug time

Description

God I'm so tired I don't know how to start this. Oh well, let's just move on.
So this is for :iconlamaraloon:, that's why there are some Russian words up here (hope I got those right ... so hard to write with the tablet ^^), and those are actually her characters : Revan and Rena Sargin from KOTOR and KOTOR 2.
Yeah so with all the stuff I've been drawing for other people I wonder why I didn't do something for you before ... oh well, better late than ever. And I really enjoyed myself drawing this. I still don't know how you color hair, gods knows I tried to find out but it remains a mystery. So I guess it just takes more practice ... bahhh I got time. That description is so messy :p
I don't know your Revan and Exile well but somehow you showed a lot with just one picture. My interpretation is that your Revan is sulky and keeps beating herself up for what she did when she joined the dark side. I think she's fierce in battle but doesn't let herself be happy or find peace, as if she thought doesn't deserve it. Rena, I think, is wiser and can look at her past and accept it. The main difference is that Rena had a lot more time to think things over. She also caries the weight of her sins, but she is a lot more positive about everything.
I think Revan got worked up about something, and this is Rena's way to calm her down. God knows it would work on me ^^
And I know I exaggerated their size difference, sorry about that, It just felt consistent with the spirit of the picture. And I still have a problem with women's hips. And Revan's boobs looks maybe too big because the boobs-sqish effect is hard. And ... awww hell it's not perfect, I'll do better next time. Thanks for your kind words and everything Lamaraloon, you've helped me more than you can imagine.


So anyway, did I get the text right? It's supposed to say "A gentle soul, a simple heart" or something like that.

Oh my!! :heart: I wasn't expecting it at all, and when I saw the preview, I slowly realized that these were my girls and I nearly jumped out of my chair! With so much work you have to do and so many pictures you have planned, you chose to draw me a gift, and I can't thank you enough for being so kind and attentive to me! :huggle:
Yes, you got the text right! It sounds like a line from poetry, about a warrior or just about a good human being that she is. Thank you so much! The fact that you put Russian words in it means a lot!
I think you did a wonderful job with colouring this beautiful picture, and I love how you did hair, and clothes, and both girls' expressions, I love everything! Your interpretation of them is very accurate, and you captured it here wonderfully! Rena is indeed much wiser and more peaceful, she accepts things, while Revan can't, and she needs Rena's friendship and acceptance to feel better about herself and her past. It's a perfect hug, full of real love and understanding :aww:
That would so work on me, too!
For me, it's perfect, and size differences really suit the whole idea.
I wanted to draw you a gift too, maybe something with cute chibies of your team, after I'll get to know them better :giggle: I will definitely do it!
I'm so happy to hear that I helped you! Thank you for your support, too! Your comments mean so much for me! I hope I'll be enjoying your art for many years more! :aww:
Thank you, thank you soo much! :heart:
