Oh, ZEX. <3

:-D Thank you, Alana!

Wow, I really liked that series. This fanart brings back lots of good memories when I read Tamora Pierce books. The way you color hair is very interesting. I love how the hair strands look and the way the lighting is rendered to indicate the dying lamp.

That scene really stuck with me and Sandry is my favorite of the four... I recently found the entire series for just $20 (Two compilations with two of the oringal books in each, each $9.99) and I'm rereading them. Amazing how much I missed the first time.

The hair was a semi-new thing. It started shaping itself with the hair, really. I tiled the head and it became Sandry focused on her glowing threads... And the light that seems to be BEHIND her? ^_^; That was an accident... Good thing it worked out with my description, eh?

It makes me sad that I've outgrown her writing style... but I still love Tamora Pierce's books and I'm never going to regret it. Alanna is still my absolute fave. :-D

True that... True that. She has a new book out about Alanna's daughter now. I'm rather curious how it'll turn out. And oh yeah... o_O I can't believe I didn't notice that the light source seemed a bit random. Oh well, Sandry's shadow came out nicely.

X3 You were lucky with that book deal! I only have one of the books for that series because my library didn't have that book when I looked for it. Yeah, it's strange how much you miss when you reread things. -_-; I reread Winnie the Pooh, Pinnochio, and other children's tales. I never realized how people would look at the the original content as violent these days. Supposedly, Christopher Robin accidentally shot Pooh with a rifle and Pinnochio was hanged by his neck on a tree and left to die (Grimm Fairy tales...well, that's pretty self-explanatory.) You miss can miss out the a lot of hidden meanings that only adults can understand when you're a child.

Another note...have you noticed that Tamora Pierce likes to pair up her main characters with people that are a LOT older than her? I'm kinda wondering about that right now....

O_o Yeah, I've noticed that... The George/Alanna thing is 7 years, which isn't really SO bad... when compared to Daine and Numair. Who are, like, 15 years apart, or something heinous. *dodges Numair-adoring friend*

I have the first of that new series- it's sort of sub-par and predictable. I'm pissed because it looks like her daughter is going to wind up with this guy who the Trickster god (remember him with the crooked smile?) turned from a crow into a boy to help her out. I don't like him. The crow, I mean. See? Predictable. I'm hoping the second is better.

Man, I reread Harry Potter 1 & 2 for the first time last week and even that made me sit up a bit. I totally breezed past a lot of details. And I went looking for originals of fairy tales... which is really grisly. The Brothers Grimm were aptly named. I mean, I knew the story of the girl with the dancing shoes that wouldn't stop who had to cut off her feet, but I swear they added violence to their stories like they had a quota to meet. In Snow White or Cinderella (I think) at the end, everything is fine and dandy and she's off to marry her prince, but her evil step-mother is pissy and she makes a fuss and birds come and peck out her eyes. Like, WHY!? It was FINE. LEAVE IT. But, no, we have to have the death and maiming. With crows.

I remember Christopher Robin shooting Pooh... it WAS an accident, though...

Try watching old kids movies too... I can't wait for kids who watched Shrek at age three to rewatch it at 13 and go "OH MY GOOOOOOD they put THAT in there?!" XD

Yeah...-_-;; large age differences can be so taboo in those sorts of relationships.

It's predictable? Hmm..I still wanna read it though. lol. I should go to borders to get it.

lol. Yeah, The Brother Grim also liked to anatagonize step parents. I wonder what their issues were . And I suppose I'll accept that Christopher Robin "accidentally" shot Pooh. It would be interesting if they made a trial on that incident.

I saw Adams Family Values randomly on TV and noticed lots of things I never understood when I watched it as a child. I had no idea what "love-making" was. I had no idea about why the heck Wednesday was talking about when she was explaining the bleak future of Native Americans. (It was rather violent when she and the rest of the kids burned the play sets and a prissy girl at a stake.) I also had no idea what homocide was either. X3 Oh yeah, that would be awesome to see how kids will react when they re-watch Shrek in the far future.

LOL I remember watching that a few years ago. I was pretty young the first time we saw it... and WOAAAAAAH. XD I think I'd find it a LOT funnier now than I did then!

Yay!! A Tamora Pierce fan
Great job!
