“Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.”

— Christopher Paolini, Eragon

My take on saphira that I did for scale practice recently! Eragon was one of the first dragons books I read as a child and while it doesn’t hold up the best I still love saphira!

Shes mostly blue and is said to have scales that refract all shades of blue in the light like a gemstone, so I really tried hard to capture that here. I love dragons that are both powerful and beautiful

I’m re-reading “The Inheritance Cycle” at the moment and I just realized something. I always thought that the whole Murthagh-vs-Eragon-plot was like a retelling of the Morzan-vs-Brom and that the boys inherited the war of their fathers. I mean they both became dragon riders, these dragons even had the same scale color as the dragon of their fathers (Morzans dragon was red, Saphira I was blue), it’s all about Murthagh hating the fact who his father is and that everyone compares him to Morzan and so one.

But. BUT! Now I come to the realization that Murthagh is in fact so much more than his and Eragons mother. Before her True Name changed she was feared by the Vardens, she had a reputation for being ruthless, devoid of either pity or compassion. Selena was driven by her own ambitions and she was absolutely devoted to the person who was able to give her the power she wanted. Same with Murthagh: he wanted to overcome his fathers reputation and was willing to do everything for his goal.

But Selena and Murthagh both switched loyalties for love (Selena for Brom and Murthagh for Nasuda) and as well Selena as Murthagh changed their True Name and therefore where able to the persons that they served.

And now, in my head everything is different. Because that makes the whole Murthagh vs. Eragon part not some kind of Morzan vs Brom pt2 but much more a Selenas dark and twisted side against her kind and caring side..

If you are looking for me, I’m right there crying my eyes out.

Lol. Imagine how Brom must have felt when he realized that after all the trauma and tragedy he had gone through, after all the fights and wars and the horrible losses je had to endure he settled down in a sweet little village to keep an eye on his son. And his son, that little idiot, not just became a dragon rider but also gave his dragon the same name as Broms own late dragon.

I mean… haha, destiny is a real bi*ch.

Excuse me I need to cry for a bit.

I miss ye good oldern days of the internet, when there was a roleplay game for each of my favorite books and movies….

I’m re-reading the Inheritance cycle and I wish we would know more about Eragons mother.

I mean: she went from “Oh, I love the dark, evil but handsome traitor and even are willing to act as his spy and assassin” to “yeah, fuck that and fuck him! I’m eloping with the gardener”.

What an icon!

Some close-ups of a recent commission. Some very fun/tricky covers to draw!

I’ve only read one of these ones, I don’t think there was much YA literature around when I was a YA myself actually.

A mostly YA commission- that Iron Widow cover was tricky!

Of these I’ve only read the Narnia, but I liked drawing these. You can get a custom print of your own favourite books here
