Me and you in the pantry

First, introductions: Thorin and Wren from Katya Kolmakov's Fanfiction "Me without you". 

I'm in love with my own illustration. The paper is absolutely wonderful. It reacts to colors in a difficult but rewarding way. Cause it forces me to add more and more layers to gain a more intense tone, and the drying time is quite quick wich is practical for fast illustration. Well...this was a not as much a quick one, as I strived to achieve a delicate style, just like the moment the couple is in. Delicate <3 
Huum..As I think about it now...lately, none of my Thorin/Wren illustrations are considered quick ones, i love them too much to dispatch them before i consider them properly finished for posting :-D!

A sweet love scene for a change, but not to graphic, still very sexy. 
He looks like he is wearing very tight leather pants! And her corset is almost gone! For someone who has big hands, HIS sure are nimble ;-)
Thorin and Wren met in the pantry for the first time after...well, you just have to read the story, right? ;-) And then you can come back to this image and make the connection. 

Also, the light and splats of white ink add just a bit of volume and deliciousness to the moment. 
Hope you enjoy it as much as I DO <3!

How to break a dwarf's heart

Hello again! It's been a couple of months since I posted Kkolmakov's Wren and Thorin fanfiction illustrations :-).

This time, again from ME WITHOUT YOU, around chapter 53.

I think this image and the characters expressions says it all. 

They stepped out to the yard. The morning was chilly and she wore a shawl. He was silent and somehow angry at her. The woman he loved was dismissing him, rejecting him, after giving him her heart and a night of love. Or so he thinks. Because for Wren...it was nothing more than a dream. 

She had to brake his heart in order to understand better the new situation they were in. A chapter that roamed in my mind because of the courage the author had to have, the decision to suddenly change the course of these two lovers fate, as opposed to what (i dare say) most readers would want. :-) But the hurt the reader felt for these two was well rewarded. Well, but for knowing more of this you will have to read it ;-)

Also, I've been experimenting with different kinds of papers in order to give this kind of texture you see above. Very well fitted for a Middle Earth's fanfiction. It gives a nice visual "old" feel to the colors :-))))))))))
