Drizzt and Guen - Commission

This is a Commission peice for ~Jayetta. She wanted me to do a poster sized Fanart of Drizzt Do'Urden, and his Giant black panther companion, Guenhwyvar ...

for those of you NOT familiar with the stories by R.A. Salvatore, and more particularly, the cannon artwork gracing most of the covers. ... Drizzt does wear all that, lots of black leather armor, long green cape, and the white furr ruff .... thing.... (... I swear, he makes Sephiroth look like an amature in the black leather department. )

Guenhwyvar, is described as a 600 lbs Magical/Astral Panther.

The coloring was ... time-consuming... with the particular challenge being to differenciate the different varieties of black leather. (supple leather, hard armor leather, belt leather, boot leather... ) and of course, both the Drow and the Panther have black skin as well. metal also uses the grey monochromatic hues, ... It was an interesting challenge to play with that much "grey" and still make it different.

I tried something a bit different with the background, it's supposed to look JUST A LITTLE cartoony, illustration-ey... whatever. Since Drizzt and Guen both have some exagerated colors and contrast, I figured the background would do well with the same.

all in all, I'm actually rather pleased with it. ^_^ I'll probably upload a pic of the backround by itself later.



Anyways, this IS an 11x17 poster sized piece.

and it will also be converted into an 8.5x11 size print as well

both sizes are available for sale. ^_^
