I drew him like I imagined him more or less. Wouldn't look too shabby with a shower, I think. =P]]>Romulus and Remus by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:86c26ff5-cea2-26b4-2a45-c832514784302005-01-22T23:00:44-08:00There is no mythology section, and I figured fantasy was the closest match... <br />
<br />
Well, these two are Romulus and Remus, sons of Mars. Romulus is the supposed founder of Rome. And well, they were found by a she-wolf by the River Tiber where they had been abandoned, and thus the story... <br />
<br />
I did this as a sorta request thing for my latin teacher, and I am pretty happy with how it turned out- so yay. =)]]>Nickolai by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:1d3eb0f2-27b5-ab3d-d718-398a9eb38aa12005-01-01T23:59:36-08:00My newest rp character for LotHS. Fun fun. His name is Nicholai Chevalier- and he's an actor. <br />
<br />
Pretty much all I need to say about him... more is on page 32 of the rpg. =) <br />
<br />
Done in pencil. Sort of a quick drawing, but I tried. Ignore the odd hands, I beg you. hahah =) not to mention his strange outfit...]]>Mateo's Clover by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:757f2e73-c609-4f48-205d-996aefd111632004-11-08T18:08:52-08:00Just a pic I drew and watercolored. These were some RP characters of mine... but I'm thinking about making them the subject of a short story someday... =)<br />
<br />
So, without further delay, I shall introduce to you Dunya, the badgeress, and Mateo, the edible dormouse. For more info on the two (unadapted from the RP) you can check the short story area. =)]]>A sextant, eh? by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:1fa449f7-faca-658e-2bb1-e4e859b0827d2004-09-03T15:32:05-07:00finally finished this one. If you couldn't tell... I did it for Jailcrow's contest again (go check it out before it's too late!!!) ^_^... I like it.<br />
<br />
Archie is the smaller one- and Bowles is just huge.]]>Lessons by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:79ca22e4-bb4f-1f7f-bfbb-09e47d80e9c32004-08-27T05:10:23-07:00yup yup, finally finished another picture. I really BSed the backgrounds and the faces, but they weren't really my focus in the picture (though I'm not sure what was- perhaps just the fact that they are all sitting there). So, what's going on in the picture you say? Well, I'll tell ya. These are midshipmen, and they are receiving navigation/math lessons from the Master of the ship. A pretty useful system. Except this bunch is pretty dense. ;)<br />
<br />
I did this picture for Jailcrow_of_Mandos' M&C/HH contest- mostly for the buckle shoe portion of it. I like the other two entries much better thought, especially because you can only see parts of the shoes on this... and because the other two are so much cooler. ^_^]]>Overalled Killick *for Jailcrow_of_Mandos* by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:fd6d893a-1a58-2b36-1f0b-6eb69a4764352004-07-31T22:09:20-07:00This is for another very talented artist- Jailcrow_of_Mandos- who leaves some very nice comments on my pictures and is never too busy to help ^_^. I hope you like it-- I'm still not sure what to think =/... I tried though!!!<br />
<br />
In any case, this is Killick, from Master and Commander, he is the steward of Jack Aubrey. It mentioned once in the book that he wished to open up a little restaurant-- and well, then, Jailcrow and I started to muse on the fact that Killick, if we had to pick a stereotype for him to fit in, would be a redneck- thus, he is a redneck with a restraunt. and a banjo... and a chest blocking his door =/.... Er.. He also has a floppy hat and a piece of straw in his mouth ^_^... I like the sign, which reads "Welcome to Killick's... Where everything is Preserved." <br />
<br />
A joke, yes. Preserved Killick. hahah. =P <br />
<br />
and yes... I know...the building is a little too slanty O_o heheh. It's a run down house, i tell ya! the ground moved! not my fault, nope... ^_^ *glomps Barrett Bonden*]]>Drinking Buddies by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:d9257e8a-d98f-da37-348f-106d67668c282004-07-30T06:15:52-07:00Definately not one of my bests... I did them last night but I liked they way they turned out. I suppose I have been trying out new styles and what such. This is what happened. I'd like to say that they are near drunk (thus the PG) and very merry. Hope you like them.]]>Sam and Frodo sketch by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:0732edb0-6535-d3e6-d0eb-4eb60de10f212004-07-30T00:10:17-07:00Sam and Frodo from my painting... I liked them uncolored and scanned them in before I painted the original- so I decided to post it too. =D Yay for them. Yay for hugs]]>A Long Awaited Arrival (for suzafroda) by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:17d13b9d-30de-8ed1-8c33-d082148b230c2004-07-29T19:25:35-07:00Inspired by an awesome artist- suzafroda- so this is for her ^_^ <br />
<br />
1482 S.R.- "On September 22 Master Samwise rides out from Bag End. He comes to the Tower Hills, and is last seen by Elanor, to whom he gives the Red Book afterwards kept by the Fairbairns. Among them the tradition is handed down from Elanor that Samwise passed the Towers, and went to the Grey Havens, and passed over Sea, last of the Ring-bearers." So here they are in Valinor- Frodo getting his Sam back. There was a bird in the picture on the shore- but I swiped him out with a sponge for the greater good of the picture =/ and this was originally a lot bigger- curse the 600 pixel rule =P. <br />
<br />
btw- please be nice- this is my first watercolor landscape pic... ^_^ Bye! And, thank you, suza, for all of your great art and for doing that request for me! =D]]>Diana Elise Pulliams by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:1fc8cf9c-0bd2-bc99-2039-f3737f82d02d2004-07-26T20:37:45-07:00This is my new rpg character Diana. She is neat- I think. I had the hardest time figuring out what color to make her dress... the green turned out best. Okie dokie- bye bye.]]>Sweet Dreams by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:32baf821-8b26-a7f8-0d49-915f83220c032004-07-22T04:57:16-07:00Sweet dreams, little sailor! =D Yee! This is Barrett Bonden as a kid-- just getting a few hours of sleep before his next shift. Poor baby must be so tired. For those of you who don't know who Barrett is--go watch master and commander ;)-- he's the coxswain aboard the H.M.S. Surprise. He is played by Billy Boyd. ^_^ I hope you like him!]]>Merry and Pippin- An Unexpected Meeting by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:cbe07332-f289-c3ba-903d-8be458dde6c92004-07-18T06:32:40-07:00Merry and Pippin run into someone very unexpected- Barrett Bonden. ;P I'd like to say this was the Grey Havens and that Barrett was there with his ship (nevermind the HUGE time difference and seperate worlds... ;) ) Well, all of them are a bit confused. I was going to add words, but I just didn't have the heart to, so if there had been words, this is what each would have said: <br />
<br><br />
Merry: hey, Pip, who's that?<br />
Pippin: I dunno, Merry! <br />
Barrett: *sweatdrop* <br />
<br><br />
Hehehe. In any case, I hope you like it. It took me many hours... =/ Mostly because of the background... stupid bricks and cobblestones. In any case-- Bye!!!
<br>
And... Barrett, for those of you who don't know, is the coxswain of Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander. He is also played by Billy Boyd. =D]]>Barrett Bonden learns to write by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:38647833-a7be-3653-cdc1-de19a69b7bf42004-07-12T11:39:08-07:00I drew this picture last night and it was another one where I actually liked how it turned out the next morning. It also happens to be one of the few pictures that has a background!<br />
<br><br />
On board the H.M.S. Surprise, Stephen Maturin teaches Barrett Bonden how to read and write. Stephen writes a word down on the slate, gives it to Barrett, and leaves it for him to figure it out. Today they are studying animals-- thus Barrett's cheatsheet ;) . In the book H.M.S. Surprise by Patrick O'Brian (do read them if you liked the movie- they are excellent) it says that one of Barrett's favorite things to do is write out the verses that Stephen recites to him aloud-- rhymes and such =D. Isn't that nice? <br />
<br><br />
I had a lot of trouble with Stephen's pose and I hope it came out all right. His left hand made me want to die-- and just out of spite: I hate his hat! =/<br />
<br> <br />
I'm done. I hope you like it and please comment!!!]]>Stephen Maturin by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:de3a97c2-cc62-94da-d819-7630618982392004-07-08T06:03:09-07:00This is Stephen Maturin from Master and Commander. I like Jack better, but I wanted to draw this when I read about it. Jack's ship stopped in Brazil to bring back supplies and Stephen went with them since he could speak the language. He brought back a sloth. =D The great part was, it said once the sloth saw Jack, it wailed and then turned its head back to Stephen's shoulder- when Jack would enter the cabin where the sloth was, it would cry and hide. Poor Jack- lol. Well, I hope you like it. =D]]>Wonderland Map by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:a1e7f481-7928-0cd0-0874-8f07eb6e53ea2004-07-05T15:58:49-07:00This past year I was one of the artists for the literary magazine at my school. We needed a map of Wonderland to be on the inside cover so I decided to draw it. It was a lot of fun. I used tea to stain my paper and then some<br />
blue calligraphy ink for everything else. The water was made by smearing the blue ink around the page from the waves. I really liked how it turned out.<br />
Cartography is something I am definately interested in now. =) Hopefully the college I choose will have a course in it. That would be most excellent.]]>Terrin and Lome by NauticalNymphurn:uuid:4e6f56cc-8735-6a69-85d2-f9bb8a38ff592004-07-05T06:23:46-07:00This is Terrin when she is all grown up and living in Lothlorien. She still has a rose =). The fox is her pet (and guardian) and he is named Lome-- which means Night I believe. He's so cute =D. <br />
<br><br />
I really want to color this one with map pencils... I have it done in watercolors, but it really bothers me. If you want to see it though, I'll post it.]]>
