J16 – Minty and Carrot

For lilyvale! Who wanted to see Minty the dwarf and Carrot the (honorary, 6-foot-tall) dwarf, from Discworld:

It's okay. I didn't like that lintel anyway.

Not really sure what either of them should be wearing. I’m used to picturing Carrot (and dwarves in general, for that matter) in the Night Watch uniform. XD

    Augwh, this is just…Awww.

    How long did it take to make these?

  3. Aja Says:

    @Scribbs: Hee, excellent. That’s what I was going for. (<3 Carrot)

    @Tulsi: Probably 90-150 minutes per picture. The time it took to draw the initial rough sketches varied a lot, but cleaning them up and shading them only took about an hour. (Still kind of slow. XD But I think I’m getting a little faster each year!)

    Tee hee. That poor door way.

    Boots~ :D

    D’aww, that’s adorable. I love how Carrot’s legs look, long gangly knees stickin’ up and all that. ^_^

    :D It makes me more than a little happy to hear that even such relatively simple pieces take you a while, Aja! There may be hope for me and my razzafrazzazangitall slowness yet!

    Ouch >.< Poor Carrot!
    Minty is awfully pretty for a woman with a beard. Heh.

  7. Xiao Caity Says:

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. So cute!

    And poor Carrot’s head. Owies.

  8. Aja Says:

    @KitFang: Indeed. Artistic slowness is like a tenacious barnacle: it wants to hang on to your creative process forever, but if you chip away with enough persistence, you can eventually pry it off. (Hooray for sleep-deprived metaphors!)

    @DarkMousy: So it seems! I didn’t think it was possible. XD

    oh wow…I love how you actually made Minty look really sweet and feminine, despite the beard thing. And awww! Poor carrot! (headbanger..hehe)
