Raziela by Zeivogel on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Where to begin...where to begin...

The pose, of course. The laxness with that jaded expression, and knowing her, that fanged grin would appear out of nowhere. Raziela, for all her naivete and cuteness, is a terrifying character, and how you drew Grohuk...further exacerbates how terrifying she can be.

Going further on the weapon: dear lord you brought him to life. He's a character in his own right (though he...actually is, he just has as much presence in this piece). I can almost imagine him making suggestions to Raziela as to how to deal with the unfortunate newcomer.

Grohuk: Need a deep-fat fryer and those eleven secret spices...

Raziela: Nah. Not in a savory mood.

Grohuk: Okay, okay, hear me out...we slice him, dice him, fry him, and then candy him!

Raziela: Nah, too much work. Texture would be off.

Grohuk: RAZZY I'M STARVING! HIS HEAD IS RIGHT THERE!

Raziela: He's running.

Grohuk: CURSES! GET BACK HERE WITH THOSE MEAT-HAUNCHES!

Raziela: I think we should show him your chainsaw impersonation.

Grohuk: Oh...classic.

Not to mention the setting. Raziela's work sends her to a lot of interesting places. It always impresses me how artists of your level can do so much with so little, the stone raining upward into a celestial pit. You captured her so well, and I'm grateful for the time you spent bringing her to life. Thank you so much, Shirder!
