     It had been two weeks now sense we’d beaten the Firelord and won the war. Only one week had passed sense I’d ended it with Suki. It just hadn’t been working. She’d wanted to go home, back to Kyoshi and go back to doing nothing but protecting her village. But I wanted anything except that; I wanted to stay with my sister…and with Toph. I knew that just because Zuko was the Firelord now, that didn’t mean the fighting was over, and I wanted to be a part of those fights, a part of putting the world back together. Apparently Suki didn’t.

So I recently finished The Demon's Surrender, the last book in "The Demon's Lexicon" trilogy by Sarah Rees Brennan and since I did an illustration based on the first two books I decided to round it out with a third for the final book! I finally had the chance to sit down and do it today, and it's been one of those marathon pieces. :XD: About five hours total was spent on this, and I'm super happy with it. I had a lot of fun with all the little details. Sin's braid took forever though! I re-did it about six times before I was happy with the style and how it looked. I'm really happy with it though.

I choose to do Alan and Sin because I hadn't drawn Sin yet, and I really like her. She's a very fun character.

Overall, I'm super happy with this piece and the whole set of illustrations for the books. The series was amazing, and I had so much fun making the illustrations for it. It was super fun to talk to the lovely author as well, Sarah's a total sweetheart. I suggest all of you pick up any of her books, they are all well worth the read!

Critique by *Ito-Saith-Webb Jan 14, 2013, 8:40:03 PM
Pros: Your composition is solid and the eye easily follows to the focal point of them kissing. Your digital inking is strong showing good variation of weight and proper use of it for form. You positive and negative use for inking is working well if a little busy. You attention to detail is also strong creating good textures and shows a lot of dedication to your work.

Cons: The man's face is suffering some construction problems. First his jaw swoops up to sharply which is a feminine trait, males tend to have a jaw line that goes straight back and then turn at a sharper angle. The glasses are not communicating well as glasses and instead are coming off like a malformed eye that is to close to the bridge of his nose.

Other than those points I have made this is a very strong piece.

I like the style of this; it really looks like an engraving, or a woodcut. Cool technique, drawing white on black like that, with almost no halftones. I'm gonna have to try it...
