Description It'll break into the brightest light, there's no way avoiding it. You can't stay awake forever, sleep will eventually carry you away. And whether you're awake or not, it'll always arrive dark and massive. It eats everything, swallows the light and covers everything in a pitch black cloak. It is the Night. Horrible beast yet not good nor evil. It is something you cannot escape forever.

Yay, the first request from the Active Watcher Challenge! (What? you ask. Go here and participate if you're active, watcher and interested! [link] ) This request is for *Agina She asked for a sleeping character and a beast bent over the character. She also gave me this song [link] and then I picked the theme Night from the 100 Themes Challenge list. This is what I came up with. I'm not sure if the beast is as horrible as I thought it should be. Anyway, I'm quite happy how the sleeping child came out.
This was pretty nice one to do. I loved colouring, Derwent Inktense pencils are sooo lovely mediums. It was so nice to see how the colours blended when I added water. They also turned to bright and jewel-like.
The Nightlord's face is a bit weird because the spikes or whatever they are on his cheeks are on different levels. It's so either because his forming is incomplete or then it's because I suck. X)

Anyway, I hope you like it!

Mediums Derwent Inktense coloured pencils + water | Derwent Graphitint coloured pencils + water | white acrylic
Time taken Hmm, 3-4 hours maybe?

I would indeed be a nice pet. It'd bring absolute drakness to a room and I could sleep well. <3 I can't sleep if there is a light on, even a small one.

Wow, I love it, especially the colours of the Nightlord (what a name!) and the white splatter effect. How many of these themes have you done now?

I love the Night Everything seems so much more magical, the impossible so much more possible.

Thanks!
Nightlord isn't actually any special name, I didn't even think abou it, I just wrote it and ta-dah! it had a name. :'D But I'm glad that you like it!
Hmm, I think I've done 72 of them. It is possible that I have made mistakes, but according to the list there are only 28 left. And I've figured out a few themes already. All I need is a little more time to do the rest.

Night indeed is lovely, especially those starry nights. Pity that you have to travel countryside to see the endless ocean of star without disturbance of city lights. But it sure is beautiful. <3

I might use that sometime, then, if it's nothing special to you No problem!

The best stars I ever saw were in the Scottish Highlands. I swear, there was no moon but it was bright as day, every inch of sky was a tapestry of light in whites and blues and purples. I remeber thinking, "It's like pinpricks in the velvet of the firmament..."

Thank you!
And I'm glad to hear I succeeded with the child. I'm trying to improve my human drawing skills at the moment and I think I'm doing pretty well though there's a loooot more to improve. I could say that the next drawings I'll submit will contain some more humans (not only them, though!).

Not sure what to say, but I dont think you need to improve cause I cant see anything wrong with the anatomy of the child or anything like that! Im waiting for more humans!

ShadeofShinon In reply to icssilver [2009-11-27 17:49:29 +0000 UTC]

Well this is one of the best so far though it has some minor flaws. Whenever I try drawing a human it takes so much time to get the anatomy correct and so XD You should see my sketches, oh god they're horrible. I'm trying to practise 'til drawing humans doesn't cause me so much trouble.

Sinistä~ >3 Taas~ *vink vink* 8D Mutta mikäs siinä, tykkään siit kuiteski enemmän kuin keltaisesta.
Nätti asento tällä tytöllä ja tykkään roiskeista. Nuo pedon silmät on ehkä yksiä käytetyimpiä tyylillisesti, mutta olen joka kerta aina yhtä haltioissani kun näen sellaiset; keltainen pallo mustassa kehyksessä, oijoi...
Ei tää ehkä tosiaan ole niin hirvittävän pelottava, mutta hivenen epämiellyttävä kyllä, sellainen jonkin verroin uhkaava. :> Ihan hyvä~
Innolla odotan millaisia muista haastetöistä tulee. 83

Jep, en taida ikinä päästä siitä. X)
Tiedän, että ne silmät ovat käyetyt, mutta en vain millään onnistunut tekemään toisenlaisia, joita aluksi kaavailin. :/ Mutta hyvä jos tykkäät!
Mutta kiitokseni! Koitan saada niitä töitä tehtyä taas piakoin. :>

Ei se mitään, itekin tykkään käyttää niitä kun ne on aina hyvin tehokkaat ja voihan työ muuten olla originelli. 83
