Hopping on the trend years after it died down just to make this 😭 one of my favorite scenes fr (rip wyrden my guy)

Heyyyy long time no see! Just leaving my offerings here lol
Some weeks ago I asked people on here and on instagram to give me suggestions to fill out the famous six characters template (original here) I've been doing this challenge for years and I really wanted to do it for the inheritance cycle too! Swipe to the very end to see all the portraits individually (drew solembum in both forms because he was the most requested) :)

I also finally decided to make proper art of Galbatorix because for some reason i procrastinated it for months but i came up with a design that i personally really like! so here's all the art + sketches because i couldn't pick a design for the cloak! YES he's kinda hot omg it was lowkey unintentional but god forbid a woman has FUN (jk) also he has eyeliner because eyeliner always looks cool on villains. i even made a comic about it

Also I tried to be as accurate as possible while also honoring my own vision for these characters so yeahh keep that in mind and enjoy!

p.s: if the contrasts look a bit wonky on your phone screen im sorry they look better on my other social accounts 🫪

Some days ago i read a post or a comment on here about Eragon's armor never being depicted faithfully in official and non-official illustrations so i decided to give it a try. The thing is, i'm a sucker for plate armor so i just drew the accurate armor for fun because i wanted to prove it looks kind of silly.. i actually ended up liking it a lot hahaha. Anyways, you can see what i *think* is the accurate armor from the books in the second and third slide. The first slide is how i would personally envision eragon's armor if i had to be as faithful as possible but also follow my heart (added some shoulder plates oops), my hand slipped and i ended spending so much time rendering what started as a simple sketch arghhhh

i definitely am not an armor expert but i love rendering metal so take that into consideration :')

Decided to finish my 1883293 wips from the past few months and also post some old stuff!

1. (and 2) Finished some old drawings of saphira and thorn based on some references! they are both super young here, the equivalent of dragon teenagers i'd say (poor thorn forced to grow at 2x speed)
2. Eragon doing boring paperwork like taxes and stuff, Saphira just chilling because dragons don't believe in bureaucracy <3
3. young morzan and brom aurafarming
4. bonus oromis reminding everyone elves do pilates and have perfect posture
5. queen arya outfit idea
6. how long do you think it will take arya and fírnen to resign from their jobs and go to mount arngnor where all the fun stuff is happening
7. my take on why murtagh didn't ask for help with bachel (100% factual and true)
8. remembered the final scene of book 1 which i think is also the only scene where murtagh and non-comatose arya shared the screen lmao (zoom in and also sorry for my writing i can't promise it will get better)

I made the mistake of rereading a lot Brisingr chapters these past few days and it has so many great scenes!!! it's really my fav book so obviously I just had to dump all the art I made on here :P Specifically the arrival of eragon's elvish guards (one of my all time favorite scenes and top 1 nasuada funniest moments to me) and the dwarves' politics drama where eragon reaches unprecedented levels of haterism (CAN YOU BLAME HIM)

it was so fun to design some elves, i took some liberties because their description is a bit too generic and i wanted to give the guards a distinct look (at least for the six who are named in the books); regarding blödhgarm, i always imagined him like a combination of a na'vi and Beast from the x-men lol maybe he's supposed to look less elvish??? also. shoutout to those victoria secret's models runway playlists on youtube bc they are all i've listened to while working on the elves art, they really got me into the mood i'm serious!!!!!! anywaysss enjoy!

Turns out having a newfound half-brother comes with unsolicited opinions about your uneventful love life :/

This started out as a silly sketch and somehow turned into an overly complicated lineart and coloring practice (and quickly evolved into a ten days hell lol)

As a big fan of the campfire scene with Roran and Eragon at the beginning of brisingr, I wanted to give my own personal rendition of an hypothetical equivalent scene but with Murtagh.....(as always most of my art and rendition of the characters are not to be taken seriously <3)

Hello! some days ago i started making art about eragon and murtagh's parents. Unfortunately what started as a simple character exploration ended up as a legit lockdown/rabbit hole so yeah. proper portraits of Brom, Morzan and Selena followed by a whole bunch of nonsense lolll

Some important points!!!

• yes i know technically Brom is supposed to look more raggedy (since jeod says in book 1 that he didn't change much in appearance in like fifteen years) BUT consider this: bro fought a rider and his satanic dragon + pulled the fairest gal in the realm, he deserves to look cool as hell (and like many here jeremy irons as brom had long lasting impact on my brain so that was definitely a factor to consider). in this art we will pretend he aged 15+years as soon as he set foot in carvahall
• HUGE fan of selena being a morally conflicted character, a complex woman that makes questionable choices in her romantic life!!!!! i love her your honor
• please take these lightly i'm just a goober
• i'm definitely making a part 2 to this because i have some training days in vroengard themed art yay

Okay so I actually locked in and did a lineup of *some* of the main characters approximately in between Brisingr and Inheritance!! These took me ages and I got the idea for the frames about 30 minutes ago so sorry if some sizing is messed up (for example I think Nasuada is not as proportionate to the frame compared to the others but we will all pretend you didn't see it!)
Anyways in order of appearance we have: Eragon, Arya (the only one i didn't draw from scratch bc i liked the original drawing too much lol), Murtagh (who gets his own goth villain frame), Nasuada, Roran, Orik and Oromis! enjoyyyyy

(also i posted this from my laptop and of course everything looks super dark and overly saturated from a phone screen arrghhhhhhh)

Just remembered how in Eldest, Eragon and Saphira would sometines swap places and take lessons with Glaedr and Oromis respectively. I like to think they tried this approach with Murtagh and Thorn as well but with *slightly* different results

(I'm over-exaggerating their personalities just for the fun of it lmaooo)

Been thinking a lot about this ever since I finished Murtagh and the bonus scenes last week and I think I need a whole sitcom like this

(Excuse my poor skills with drawing dragons I'm trying to improve OKAY lmao)
