The Royal Court Follies - Illustration thread

First off, apologies for the lateness of this thread.

For those of you who have not yet read The Royal Court Follies by Master Poet/Bard Rockmower, you can do so here.

To start the thread off, here are a few drawings illustrating some of the events in The Royal Court Follies.

The Royal Court Portrait (Note: this is an incomplete portrait of the court as it expands almost consistently. )


From left to right in the front row, we have Havoria, Jazzo, Airstream Raider, King Arthur, Queen Carla, HappyPlayer, Krystal and Sammygirl99. From left to right in the back row, we have knksmiles, Lyssaria, Rockmower, Gamemastr1, LadyCFII (a.k.a. Barb Lady Fair), Damsel Xay, kittenangel2001, TheGnome (a.k.a. Tante Jen, Aunt Jen) and Houjun (myself).

Portrait of the Captain of the Guard (Airstream Raider)



Rockmower Singing


Note: The Royal Court decided previously to replace his stringed lute with one not stringed to prevent him from singing again. At this point, the poor unfortunates in the background are Havoria on the right and myself on the left.

There shall be more in the very near future. And I hope you have enjoyed these thus far.

You really are so talented Jun, I love your drawings! I feel special with the birdy on my shoulder, that is really well done! Everyone looks so great as well, and AR's portrait is fantastic! I also love the unstringed lute picture, it gave me a good giggle.

Really looking forward to more illustrations, just don't strain yourself on my part! We need your hands to function well

Hear ye! Hear ye!

P.S. We can't wait to see what the rest of you imagine and create!

Here is my first drawing of King Arthur and Queen Carla and the village hound ... Sorry that its not that good need to work on my drawing haha lol but here it is.



Arthur and Carla are both gripping a rod with a sphere atop it .... and amidst the mountains the new game is hidden

I love this drawing. It's such a wonderful portrait of the king and queen and the village hound. And I can see that New Game just hovering at the top of the mountain, just waiting to know what it's supposed to do.

Thanks ! I tried making the hound but it didnt turn out so well haha .... yes that is the new game in the mountains sorry its so squished together

Very Nice VVF!

Great work VVF!

I would've done an illustration too but I'm lacking my scanner and the time to spare at the moment. It's tough with my imagination running wild!

I will like to have a go at drawing some. Is there a time limit?

No set time limit, but I plan to post Part 2 by the weekend, and Part 3 should follow in a week or two.

When I was in LA1, I had an assignment to make a playbill for a story I had read. I made an entire sheet of one of the characters, Li-En the Fairy Lady, just in chase of emergency.

So, here she is, Li-En the Fairy Lady cosplaying as Queen Carla!

My apologies that she is tiny, but that is the size I made her.

So cute! I love how you drew everyone!

Presenting another drawing of the Royal Court!

Jun and Sammy Drawing


Jun and Sammy are drawing out on the grounds of the castle while Knk, our jester, searches for Jun.

That's a cute drawing Jun!

I know I always zone out when I'm working on my art, it really frustrates my mom

Really fantastic work, I love it!

Another, great drawing by the Awesome Houjun......

Wait! Me? Shout?

Very cute

Lol! Love the new drawing KNK!

After a lengthy, and unexpected, delay Part 2 is now ready for your viewing pleasure! Don't forget submit your own related artwork!

Presenting:

Our unknown game, hiding in the mountains

Our game is asking what it is.

Wow! thats awesome Houjun !!!

Here's a "shorty" just for you dedicated Fan Artists!

Well I traded my Lyre,
For a worn out old Lute.
Picked up an old horn,
and let out a toot.

I cleared out my throat,
and strummed a few chords,
Then started to sing,
a ballad of yore.

The hounds started howling,
the cats ran and hid!
The hens started laying,
and the Mom's hugged their kids!

The King and his Posse
arrived on the scene!
They threw me in jail,
so I could no longer sing!

Ah hah hah Rock, that was hilarious! XD

Hehe, that was brilliant Rock! and I love that drawing Jun, if only we could see what the game really looks like!

That would require a little bit of magic, huh?

Art done on Paint.net! ^o^
