The four main female protagonists of each of the Tortall series by Tamora Pierce. I was being sentimental, because Pierce was the first fantasy writer I ever read. From top left, anticlockwise:
Alanna – the original “sheroine”. Gosh she was SO annoying to draw, because I could never figure out what she was *supposed* to look like, what with so many different interpretations on all the book covers I looked up (that sort of explains the repeated rubbing that has forever blemished the poor paper… ><. It’s amusing how much I used to love Tortall, and at the age of seven Alanna was the coolest person possible, but I think as I grew she got more irritating, because she’s just so perfect.
Keladry of Mindelan – my personal favourite, from the Protector of the Small series. I only read this series a long while after my Tamora Pierce phase had worn off, and she became my favourite mainly because she’s not as Mary-Sue-ish and perfect as the rest of them. And she uses a glaive. I like glaives/polearms in general, lol. I’ve done her sort of young, probably when she’s just started at the palace in Corus or even before that.
Daine, the Wildmage – And Cloud, from the Immortals quartet. Daine was I think the easiest to draw because I’d had a pretty strong mental image of her from the books, what with the thick, nigh unbindable hair, stubborn chin etc etc. I’ve always seen Cloud as a Highland/Welsh mountain pony, so that’s what I used as a reference.
Aliane – the latest one from the Trickster series, daughter of Alanna and George. She’s a highly amusing character, though I haven’t quite managed to get my hands on Trickster’s Queen yet so the only impression I have of her is from Trickster’s Choice. But I do know the Darkings get involved in the next book – and who could resist those absolutely CUTE little… things? Uh, blobs. Lol. Oh yes, can someone enlighten me as to the spelling of her name? I can’t remember if it was Alyane or Aliane or anything else. *sheepish grin* It’s a long while since I read TP.
wow u did so good on all these congrats *mutters little miss perfect * lol jk u did good and its good to see another tammy fan lol

Thus is the fault of mankind. Love, both a strength and a weakness but never a burden. We are soft therefore when love hurts we can't complain. We can only better ourselves by understanding that which is thrust upon us all at one point or another. Strive.

For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
Daily 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 5 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.
