#9 Challenge: Xan
Deadline: Friday, 1st June
Post your piece in this topic!

I belive Xan is a popular fellow and he has been asked for several times, so here we are! The ninth fanart challenge with Xan as the subject! I'm sure Xan will attract more drawers than the rather difficult eighth challenge with Gorion's letter.

You know the drill, people! You have two weeks to participate to get in the statistics, but illustrations are more than welcome in this topic even after the deadline. Any medium and style goes, as long as the product is your own! Here's his official portrait to remind you what he looked like.

Oh, yeah! Here's a challenge I can sink my chalks into

[the bigg]

Can I be a lazy bum and link to my entry in the "Gorion's Letter" challenge?

Bah, that's cheating! I don't know if I can count it to the stats. Maybe I will count it as one entry, and two challenges?

That sounds fair to me.

...

Ehh. Xan, huh? Nuts, I can't think of anything at all. I'm doomed.

Ooooh, I love this Challenge. This will be much fun.

I can hear Xan groan at my entusiasm to draw him, already.


You're not getting away, Xan, I need you as reference!

YAY! Xan!! I love Xan. But if I draw him...I have to include Menelanna as well. The guy has to have his girl with him or else he will be all sad.

Sounds like Xan.

[vilkacis]

Oh, heyyyy, and speaking of doomed, I actually got this idea here just a moment ago...



(...what, you think I need to invest in a bunker? A bomb shelter? A +3 Shield of Protection from Fangirls? Or should I just run like hell...? )

[Kellen]

[SConrad]

Ahahahahahahaha.

Yes, I actually laughed out loud. So awesome, vilkacis. (As always.)

Ha! I've seen this motive sooo many times in Xan fanfiction, I've forgotten how many, exactly. Domi has a nice story, for one.

(Oh, and, um, nice grave).

[Kulyok]

And great challenge! (Well, you knew I'd say that). Makes me wish I could draw as well as the guy who did the original Xan portrait, sigh.

By the way, to all the great artists out here: I am in bad need of Xan Banner, so... Just in case.

[vilkacis]

And now! For the retro sprite fans, here's a wave to what's probably the most hardcore game the SNES has ever seen.



(I wonder if I'll have to run from the fangirls again when they find out I made Xan a fairy, but it's the only race that fits him, honest!)

And here he is at 2x with interlace effect, like a properly emulated ROM.

[Alatariel]

Vilk... Awesome, as always XD You really have THE sense of humour

And, 'bout that SNES game.. From which have you taken the pic? I admit being ignorant when it comes to SNES (the only games from this platform I play frequently are old FF's)...

[MorningGlory]

A prequel to Vilk's awesomely-funny "Tombstone," I give you the darkly-humored comic (and totally irreverent), "Stickman Xan."




I will apologize in advance for any perceived offense, and ask that you refrain from throwing heavy objects...

[berelinde]

Very magicky! I'll see what I can come up with during today's gaming session - great fun to sketch during breaks in the action.
