Artist's Comments

So... this is Briar Moss, since my Tris drawing was sort of popular :P lol no it wasnt but still, since Tris and Briar were my favourite characters in the circle of magic series, i had to draw both of them! even though im soooo bad at drawing guys... women are SO much better models! lol.
Yeah, I know the hair looks off, and well, the sign with the briar moss thing... not so good, I just wanted it to "fit in" with the tris drawing, but any ideas are welcome. I got sick of this, since it took me AGES to do the hair, i tried about 20 diff hairstyles, and they all looked just WRONG so I gave up and left it like this, maybe ill take it up some other time...

Awesome. I love it. It's about how I've alway imagined Briar. The hair turned out okay, though I've always thought it shaggier. Then again, I can't even draw a straight line, so who am I to complain. Briar and Tris are my favorites too.

Oh wow! Briar is awesome. ;p

Anyway, back to your work. The hair doesn't look so off really. I think it looks pretty natural. And I love that you included the tattoo of the vine. It's great! I don't know if it's just part of your style to have the surfaces very smooth without so much definition. Like with the ear. It doesn't make me like the picture any less, it's just something I noticed. It looks kind of blurred.

All in all, you definitely did Briar Moss justice with this piece. Fabulous! (Mayhaps one day we can see the whole quartet? ;D)

thanks! im really glad u liked it! oh, and about the ear... it's not on purpose, i totally forgot about it! lol. And im also glad u dont think the hair's as bad as i think it is, cuz i really got sick of doing it so many times... :P Maybe I'll fix it someday... and about drawing the whole quartet, I may, I may, after all, I've only got girls left, and girls are sooo much easier! lol
:iconbizarre-banshee:
its not complaining, its making a comment or constructive criticism, lol. Yeah i also wanted to draw it shaggier, but like i said, i just had to make do with what i had, since i really didnt want to try a whole new hairdo. They all ended up looking like old lady wigs...
Arent Tris and Briar the best!? I find Sandry annoying sometimes, and Daja doesn't have much of a personality... but Tris and Briar are something else :P
:iconnightwingrox:
I find Sandry interesting BECAUSE she's annoying. And Daja's personality is kinda background, but I think that's the point because she's the one who keeps them all grounded. Sorry, I'm probably over-analyzing again. I'm a fanatic when it comes to characterization and character interaction. I even make character profiles for the main characters in most of my favorite series. Yeah, I'm a geek.

we're all geeks and theres no point in trying to hide it (i mean, arent i the one who just drew the characters from a book!? :P) and i must tell you, i believe its something to be proud of! we geeks enjoy life so much more :P and i think u r right about daja and sandry... i mean, i get it, and i dont like perfect characters with no flaws, i like the realistic ones FAR more, i mean, thats why i like tris, lol. but knowing why daja and sandry are like they are and agreeing with them being necessary and important for the story doesn't make me like them... sandry still gets on my nerves, and daja doesnt catch my attention much :P (how bout my geeky answer? :P)
:iconhollytail:
Oh wow! This is rwally good! I don't see anything wrong with the hair, I'm sorry, and looking at the picture, i'd never be able to tell you can't draw guys. Which means you can :D Im so glad you drew him, he looks great.
