Tome of Ambia Artwork

[Shoe]

So, I drew a lot last night, and I really liked this one. Man, have any one of you ever tried the WW style? It's fantastic.

The strange hieroglyphic type stuff says "Seth Stalier," from left to right, red top to bottom, and on his sword it says "Nail" read in the same way. It isn't Hylian, it's my own alphabet for the Tome of Ambia.

To those who do not know, Seth is a main character in the books, appearing in the forth. It was originally just going to be one book I think, following his story. But then I developed another character that plays a colossal role in the series.

Here's some trivia for you. Toshi[Blizzard] and Seth are the same people. Sort of. Seth is basically the new Toshi, but a lot has changed about him. For one, he no longer manipulates ice, but instead he manipulates the ambia element of thunder which is the essence of sound. He is later able to manipulate tempest, which is this books version of storm. Same story, etc. I'm sure you can find it if you go here: irkensiddy.deviantart.com (My old account). Please don't watch it if you're a deviant. I mean, you can, but it's not necessary at all. :B

EDIT: I added two more~



Since I'm in such a good drawing mood. There will be more to come. This is Orca, obviously from the title, and just as Seth's Arkeln (tentative title for the alphabet) said his name, so does Orca's.

Orca is probably the most important character in the series. He may look like a wizard/mage/etc. but as you will see in the book, just like ambia is not at all magic, he is not at all a wizard, and all the magic-like doodads he has will be explained too.



Emili! The Arkeln text says her name too. The rest will also, so I won't repeat myself again. Now then:

Emili is also a very important character. She's the main reason Seth comes into the possession of Nail, but those details won't be revealed just yet. Anyway, she and Seth are just about as different as two people can get, but they have a very unique likeness to them that no other two people in their world (or universe for that matter) has. No, not love. Something else, it's not anything that could exist in this world as far as I know. Oh, yeah, she's the Seer of Radiance (The guardian of the radiance ambia, or light essence).

This is very nice. I could imagine him in a manga. And yeah, I have tried WW style, but ultimately failed.

Thanks, and that's a bummer. D: I was pretty bad at it not too long ago.



Just a cute, simple family of huums. The father returned with his son after fishing. His son was upset that he didn't catch a bigger fish so the father switched his fish with his son's. His mother just picked a ripe watermelon from the patch.

I'll be making one for each race. The letters up there spell "huum."

Fantastic! I love your WW style. It reminds me of video game art. Your thoughts and ideas would also do very great in a game. I'd love to see more. I also like the narrative with the last picture.

They're all so awesome, Shoe! I wish I could draw like that, but unfortunately, it takes me days just to complete one piece of work (trying to do one now, but ultimately failing).

Can't wait to see the Dragi! ;D

When you have time, could you make a tutorial on how to draw in this style?

[Shoe]

Since you asked, most definitely! But, I haven't been drawing at all over the past couple of days. Not because I hit another art block, but because of the book. But, yes, I'll certainly put that on my to-do list.

I always loved the WW style. I like how you draw it too. But I've never actually tried drawing in that style unless it was Link. >.> I wanna try now. XD

Still keeping to the Toon Zelda style, because I love it so~ Also, to those of you who do not yet know, brace yourselves, for Orca is now Ora. She still retains the same qualities that made up Orca's personality. Actually, this picture doesn't particularly match her character, but I was really just practicing. I even neglected to draw her stave. I'll try to keep at it, though.

Meanwhile, a "Seeker" in this series is basically a peaceful knowledge gatherer, like a biologist, maybe. They are the direct contrast to the Warrior who is typically one who fights or something. I'd probably sound more intellegent about it if I had written it down somewhere else before. If I can, I'll draw up Ora's brother, Kaz, who is the Warrior in the story.
