More fanart!



I draw cartoons most of the time so I'm practicing some truer-to-life styles.
I love love love Jane! Even though I don't know what her real hair color is because it changes a lot.

I should do some John fanart; I need more practice at drawing boys since I'm not as good.

I really like the eyes. They look like liquid chocolate, if you don't mind me saying =D.
Oh, DC likes House!

Mmm....chocolate....^_^
The shininess hides that fact that the pupils are pointing in different directions.
While also making the eyes look like food. :o

Thanks! :thnks: (Yay, redudance!)

You can tell it's just a drawing because there aren't any pores or wrinkles.
I'm not that committed to photo-realism. :D

Some people have really smooth skins.
I like the eye best, but that is one which made me realize it isn't a real-life photograph.

Yeah, people who use lots of makeup don't look like they have any pores at all.

I want to do a pic of John/Nat, but when I googled "man with crew cut" to see some pictures, all I get is creepy rednecks and David Beckham. :(

Haha. OMG, that one was terribly funny. Especially with me thinking (prior to clicking your link) about the other famous people who might possibly have a crew cut.

It's plausible she dyes it. That sort of thing is never specifically mentioned, but it could certainly be done, magically or otherwise, with a bit of ingenuity and the technology they have in the trilogy.

Oh, and, yet another really good painting.

Well, while I was reading GE, I read that the magicians used computers. The books are said to have been set about a 100 years after Gladstone's death, then how come computers?

IRL gladstone died in 1898, which would mean the Trilogy would be set in 1998...

The last book's set in 2005, Barty specifically mentions that it's X number of years after Ptolemy's death, and since I like to figure out time frames, I know this. :P

Oh no. I thought he died much, much earlier.

For some reason, I've never been interested in years. Though I know they are important.

Stroud does also say in one of his question answers he changed his mind about whether they should have computers, and having used them in the first book he stopped them appearing and moved technology back a bit.

Oh, so that's why Mr Underwood has a computer in his office (so does Lovelace) in book 1, but Clive Jenkins only has a typewriter. :P
If they have planes (like in GE) and fax machines, why not computers?
User Avatar

Because computers are more advanced than fax and planes?
And i'm pretty sure computer was mentioned in GE too. I was reading that book recently. But only once, I think.

Here's the relevant quote:
Jonathan Stroud wrote:In Amulet I made some references to computers, but later soft-pedalled this because in Nat's world 'hard' technology is simply not as advanced as in ours, because magic has impeded its progress. Some equivalent technology, such as the telescope mentioned, is magically powered; some (maybe developed in societies that have little or no magic for a while) is more conventional. So, for instance, the cars in London aren't magical, but approximations of real ones.
From here.

I would have thought they'd use computers in planes. Rudimentary, maybe.
Because I had imagined their commercial planes were like Boeings and Airbuses.

Unless they're the old style Wilbur-and-Orville planes.

We managed airliners without computers, I'm sure they can.
