Description All in one place at last! I ADORED drawing Juliet, and Artemis as always was the most fun. Lighting was a bugger on this one, and I'm still not 100% on it, but I have been working on this non-stop for days and just needed to be DONE.

I just completed the series for the first time yesterday, so naturally I had to google search for some art... The style of the graphic novel is okay, but this just oozes personality! I can easily picture this style in an animated movie, just beautifully done!

One thing I noticed is how most people depict Holly with longer hair rather than a crew cut, probably because it looks too masculine even though that's in her character. I think you found the perfect compromise here, she looks great

Welcome to the fandom! I'm glad you enjoyed the books, and my art!
I've tried drawing Holly with a crew cut before, but somehow it didn't fit with her personality. I really like this look on her, and I'm glad you agree!

Tyrany In reply to iesnoth [2018-01-29 02:55:17 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what that style of haircut is called, but on Holly it strikes a great balance between elegant and militaristic!
I'm honestly amazed I hadn't heard of Artemis Fowl before, a friend of mine recommended it. I knew I was going to love those books when I got to the LEP recon gag Apparently they're also making a movie, which should be interesting. Reeeeally hope it's good!

I don't know what the haircut is called either.

I hope the movie is good, too. I'm doubtful, but hey. Early days.

I hope not. I like Kenneth Branaugh as a director, so I hope at least a good story comes out of it.

Β This so epically amazing, I don't even have words.

Love your designs for the characters as always, they just fit so well, and the characters really look like how you'd imagine them. (So, so much easier to say than to do.) And it's not just the clothes and the faces/hairstyles, the body language is also just so well done. (Juliet's teenage slouch, Mulch looking shifty and cramped in a corner eating something, Artemis's evil-plotting-something steepling of his fingers, Foaly's hand to his mouth like he's trying to figure out some mystery [that should have been impossible with his flawless technology], Holly with a perturbed expression already pointing out something that's not right--and of course, Butler's imposing figure in the background, ready with the tea.) Β Β 

The composition is also just so amazing here--the characters are posed together perfectly, there isn't any wasted space, and the way they're all worked in so close together really helps to reinforce that feeling that they're a team.Β  (Having Butler truncated at the shoulders was a stroke of genius, it gives him a powerful, intimidating presence in the picture by making him loom so high above the others, while the tea adds just that hint of humor that so fits the tone of the original series.)Β  And the darker lighting with that sort of blue-ish glow as though from a computer or phone screen really gives it atmosphere and brings it all together.

I love all your Artemis Fowl art, but I think might be my favorite.Β  Really amazing work.

Ah! I didn't notice Butler and the tea tray till I made it full-size, but that just completed everything! I love the way he very quietly but intimidatingly frames the scene with his massive square shoulders. This is beautiful. Lovely original take on these wonderful characters.

This is one of the best Artemiseses <(Artemi, Arty's, I dunno.) I've seen you draw yet, which is saying something. Or at the very least is my favorite. You just captured his Artemisness so well.Β 

Also, I really like the lighting. I like that I didn't even notice Butler at first, though I was wondering where he was. It seemed very fitting because you still get the sense of his presence before you really spot him.Β
