Artist's Comments
Title character from the book "Mariel of Redwall", with her gullwhacker.
"Mariel" is my favourite of the Redwall books I have read. I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps it is because the female characters in those books were boring and lacked personality, while Mariel had some spirit.
This is my second attempt at drawing her. The first was drawn in the Redwall TV series-style, and I disliked it.
Unrelated to the pic itself, I must say that I'm sure her father, Joseph the Bellmaker, was none-too-pleased at his daughter's self-chosen last-name of Gullwhacker, after he took such pride in her given one:
"The nicest thing I ever made was your name -- Mariel. It sounds like a bell ringing clear across meadows on a soft spring morn. Can't you hear it... Mariel! Mariel!"
Background is a photo I took up by the Lion's Gate Bridge. Figured a scene like that was appropriate for her.
EDIT: Yes, yes, I took a lot of liberties with her design.

 reports, 1d 16h agoThe idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it! 63 Daily Literature Deviations - July 17, 2009*DailyLitDeviations
 reports, 1d 4h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Sylph: You know, little brother, you look particularly odd from this angle.
Dusk: You know, big sister, from this angle it would be particularly unfortunate if I had to pee.
