Artist's Comments

This took me FOREVER. :phew: I can't believe it's finally done!

So these are the main players in the project I'm currently working on and am very close to starting to draw, so expect to see a lot of these four in the future. :D I'd be super psyched to hear what you think of them!

Characters are Prince Sebastion DeGuille ("Bastion"), his twin sister, Princess Viola, his best friend, a wizard named Christian Orsino ("Hex") and in the painting behind them, a mermaid named Olivia. She doesn't have a human form, so it was the only way to work her in to this particular one, and she doesn't look much like a mermaid because you can't see her fins and she dresses in the bodices of gowns she finds in shipwrecks. Yes, they are named after the four main characters in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and yes, the surname "DeGuille" is super punny (bonus points if you can tell me why) and is meant to make you smile and give some insight into Bastion and Viola's personality.

Also, in case it isn't obvious, Viola's dressed as the night, Hex is the sunset/sunrise, and Bastion is the day, and in another bit of punny goodness, the colourful gems Viola's wearing are moonstones, and the colourful gems Bastion's wearing are sunstones. :giggle: I based the ballroom on the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles.

There's so much detail in this piece! It /must/ have taken you ages!
I absolutely love the dress that Viola is wearing ^-^

And Twelfth Night is amazing x3
It's my favourite Shakespeare play.

That so cool! I can imagine why this took so long. I'm excited to see more of this project. The dress on Viola is LOVELY!!! There is so much in this peice that you simply cannot see at first glance!!
:iconkawkun:
Wonderful piece!
I love these masks and regalia.
I could figure out the Moon / sunset-sunrise / Sun idea from theyr masks...

Violas dress reminds me of your Night Tales, I can see she also has star-pearled her dress.

DeGuille's Tuxedo is beautiful. I specially like that "pheonix"ish badge, and all his red stones.

and even tough Hex is simpler, and basicly at Background, his mask is my favourite. it gives me an "Northern Lights" feeling. ( I supposed the golden staff with the colored feather is his ? the feather is telling me )

Great job! :clap:

Ah ~ I love how your lines are so many and intricate, but they don't eat each other up, they're still very clean and organized. This piece is beautiful. :heart:
:iconinkscribble:
Thank you, I do hope you like it! And I love her dress too! It took me quite a while to design!

Thanks!

Yeah, I liked the idea for the starry dress so much I decided to use it again. :giggle:

Bastion's necklace is the symbol of his office - he's an emperor, but he's too young to be officially crowned - and it's actually a swan, which is the symbol of the royal family. :D

Hex's mask is probably my favourite too. Yes, the staff is his, and the feather is a phoenix feather.
