2010 Fan Art Calendar:  AUGUST

Nightfall remembers her childhood in the forest before her family was killed. These were the happiest days of her life with love and kindness when she didn't know about dangers and troubles. And that's the place she feels she belongs, but there no way to come back.

I adored this picture because I always forget about who her parents were and how little of THEIR story we actually know. I mean considering and how much she is kike both of her parents it seems I shouldn't forget that.

I'm so happy for you, congratulations! You draw elves very well (i also visited your site about EQ - the dress up dolls are wonder!) I love everything about this picture, it's beautiful and touching!

The expression on adult Nightfall's face is so touching. Though don't we all prettify the past, making it seem like it used to be better? I think that worked very well here too, her past really looks like you wanna be there, with those beautiful colors and magical lightbeams. Can only go back there in dreams it seems.

I just have to love this! Beautiful picture of Nightfall showing a side we do not see of her often.

I really love the composition of the family in the past, and the way the transition is done -- the moonbeam-like light in the middle, and the sunnier light farther back; it emphasizes the dream-like quality of it.  (And I love that you chose to show Longbranch with his ubiquitous hood down, for once!)  

If I could suggest anything, it would be that I was a little weirded-out at first glance by how dark Nightfall's hair was.  I think of her as a light-golden-brown, and at first glance I was a little confused, associating the figure at far left with Leetah, and the child with Foxfur.

I love the contrast of colors from the left to the right of the piece. And it's just really lovely to see Nightfall with her parents. You've captured the family dynamic beautifully too. :)

Nightfall is one of my favorite EQ characters, and it is great to see her and her family depicted. Longbranch and Brownberry are amazingly well done, and the young, playful Nightfall adorable. I love the background work, and the detail on even the seemingly insignificant leaves falling. The dreamlike quality of her memory is enhanced by the dramatic shading on the adult Nightfall. I do have to agree with Sgaana that her hair could be lighter, especially since there is a bright glowing light already on her that sets off her jewelry.

The contrast between the autumn trees and night...you can almost hear it say her name "nightfall".  Stunning!

Faerydae, Oh! Thank you! Yes, parents Nightfall occur rarely in the saga. At the time, exactly how these heroes are members brightest events in the history of EQ.

LaMara, Extremely pleased that our work does not pass without a trace. We in Russia is very little information was on the EQ, so we fill the gaps in our history. Thank you for your kind words.

afke, Thank you for your feedback. We thought to do a story that sometimes the past more vivid than the present. Nightfall - a lady and a strong mind and body, but it is delicate and vulnerable. Awesome character.

Treefox, Thank you very much. Yes, Nightfall multifaceted character. Much of her life, we do not know. But, then, and fans to reveal the hidden hand of the character. ))))

Eregyrn, Thank you very much. The idea to draw family Brownberry and Longbranch belongs to Maya-Bell. So what is it we have a good girl))))
I'll explain why Nightfall dark hair: it's my fault. I, for some reason, always perceived as Brown. I do not know why. Does not see my mind that it blond. But as she stands on this figure in the shadow, you can refer to the fact that it is the shadow of the trees gives the hair a color )))))

bukittyan, Thank you very much for the praise. For me it is important and nice, because the color I do not always get to guess.

Amberfox, Thank you for your praise. Yes, I have so much wrong with the color of hair ... Shame on me, but I promise to fix))) Sometimes we want to reveal moments of everyday life elves who probably were, but they do not. Not all the same time, they have a war with the trolls, and diplomatic negotiations with people? I guess that their life was quite interesting.

Firestorm, Thank you very much. I am very pleased, especially since these drawings (size, background, composition), a rarity for me because it's a great labor and responsibility. I hesitate for such projects. But I am extremely pleased that you liked it.
