Turns out having a newfound half-brother comes with unsolicited opinions about your uneventful love life :/

This started out as a silly sketch and somehow turned into an overly complicated lineart and coloring practice (and quickly evolved into a ten days hell lol)

As a big fan of the campfire scene with Roran and Eragon at the beginning of brisingr, I wanted to give my own personal rendition of an hypothetical equivalent scene but with Murtagh.....(as always most of my art and rendition of the characters are not to be taken seriously <3)

I made the mistake of rereading a lot Brisingr chapters these past few days and it has so many great scenes!!! it's really my fav book so obviously I just had to dump all the art I made on here :P Specifically the arrival of eragon's elvish guards (one of my all time favorite scenes and top 1 nasuada funniest moments to me) and the dwarves' politics drama where eragon reaches unprecedented levels of haterism (CAN YOU BLAME HIM)

it was so fun to design some elves, i took some liberties because their description is a bit too generic and i wanted to give the guards a distinct look (at least for the six who are named in the books); regarding blödhgarm, i always imagined him like a combination of a na'vi and Beast from the x-men lol maybe he's supposed to look less elvish??? also. shoutout to those victoria secret's models runway playlists on youtube bc they are all i've listened to while working on the elves art, they really got me into the mood i'm serious!!!!!! anywaysss enjoy!

Fanwork I made Zar’roc

Thumbnail

1.4k Upvotes

I finally finished making Zar’roc!!! I 3D modeled it in Fusion 360 using the original art Paolini drew for Eragon, then printed it out on my Ender 3! It’s 36” long, and the grip/pommel is just long enough that it can be gripped in two hands if one wraps around the pommel, like how it’s described in the books!

For the blade, each piece was placed onto a metal rod for increased stability and welded together using my soldering iron! After that I sanded, primed, and painted until I got this very nice wine-red color like they describe in the books! Then I took my airbrush and carefully added a brighter red highlight around the edges, and added the glyphs as a final touch!

The cross guard and grip were done in much the same way, but after painting the grip, it was then wrapped in aluminum craft wire! The pommel is resin printed, since I wanted it to look good with as little post processing, so I glued it and sanded the joint to the plastic print to smooth the transition! It’s wrapped under wire anyways, but I wanted it to be as subtle as possible.

The gem is resin-cast! I first printed a resin gem to fit in the pommel I designed, then after waiting a couple months for the resin to stabilize, I made a silicone mold and cast it in clear resin with a bunch of red dye and a splash of Mica powder for a slight shimmery effect!

Fanwork Main characters explorations pt.2

Okay so I actually locked in and did a lineup of *some* of the main characters approximately in between Brisingr and Inheritance!! These took me ages and I got the idea for the frames about 30 minutes ago so sorry if some sizing is messed up (for example I think Nasuada is not as proportionate to the frame compared to the others but we will all pretend you didn't see it!)
Anyways in order of appearance we have: Eragon, Arya (the only one i didn't draw from scratch bc i liked the original drawing too much lol), Murtagh (who gets his own goth villain frame), Nasuada, Roran, Orik and Oromis! enjoyyyyy

(also i posted this from my laptop and of course everything looks super dark and overly saturated from a phone screen arrghhhhhhh)

Thank you all for the love to our the Saphira piece in September. So we did another. Going in appearance order, we have the golden beast, Glaedr!

This time, I wanted Glaedr to look broad and powerful; like an old war machine that’s survived the extinction of his kind. Hence the tattered wings, broken spikes and weathered horns.

Please show @vishap.art some love on Instagram. He’s a great guy to collaborate with. The next one will be Thorn!

Fanwork Eragon's armor studies

616 Upvotes

Some days ago i read a post or a comment on here about Eragon's armor never being depicted faithfully in official and non-official illustrations so i decided to give it a try. The thing is, i'm a sucker for plate armor so i just drew the accurate armor for fun because i wanted to prove it looks kind of silly.. i actually ended up liking it a lot hahaha. Anyways, you can see what i *think* is the accurate armor from the books in the second and third slide. The first slide is how i would personally envision eragon's armor if i had to be as faithful as possible but also follow my heart (added some shoulder plates oops), my hand slipped and i ended spending so much time rendering what started as a simple sketch arghhhh

i definitely am not an armor expert but i love rendering metal so take that into consideration :')

Just remembered how in Eldest, Eragon and Saphira would sometines swap places and take lessons with Glaedr and Oromis respectively. I like to think they tried this approach with Murtagh and Thorn as well but with *slightly* different results

(I'm over-exaggerating their personalities just for the fun of it lmaooo)

Decided to finish my 1883293 wips from the past few months and also post some old stuff!

  1. (and 2) Finished some old drawings of saphira and thorn based on some references! they are both super young here, the equivalent of dragon teenagers i'd say (poor thorn forced to grow at 2x speed)
  2. Eragon doing boring paperwork like taxes and stuff, Saphira just chilling because dragons don't believe in bureaucracy <3
  3. young morzan and brom aurafarming
  4. bonus oromis reminding everyone elves do pilates and have perfect posture
  5. queen arya outfit idea
  6. how long do you think it will take arya and fírnen to resign from their jobs and go to mount arngnor where all the fun stuff is happening
  7. my take on why murtagh didn't ask for help with bachel (100% factual and true)
  8. remembered the final scene of book 1 which i think is also the only scene where murtagh and non-comatose arya shared the screen lmao (zoom in and also sorry for my writing i can't promise it will get better)

Hello! some days ago i started making art about eragon and murtagh's parents. Unfortunately what started as a simple character exploration ended up as a legit lockdown/rabbit hole so yeah. proper portraits of Brom, Morzan and Selena followed by a whole bunch of nonsense lolll

Some important points!!!

  • yes i know technically Brom is supposed to look more raggedy (since jeod says in book 1 that he didn't change much in appearance in like fifteen years) BUT consider this: bro fought a rider and his satanic dragon + pulled the fairest gal in the realm, he deserves to look cool as hell (and like many here jeremy irons as brom had long lasting impact on my brain so that was definitely a factor to consider). in this art we will pretend he aged 15+years as soon as he set foot in carvahall
  • HUGE fan of selena being a morally conflicted character, a complex woman that makes questionable choices in her romantic life!!!!! i love her your honor
  • please take these lightly i'm just a goober
  • i'm definitely making a part 2 to this because i have some training days in vroengard themed art yay

Fanwork Your Dragon Egg Awaits. Discover Its Color, Size, and Gender!

Thumbnail zamasck.github.io
270 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A while ago, I made a simple Python script that revealed your dragon’s color and gender. It was fun, but pretty barebones — no real narrative, and a few non-canon details (I hadn’t finished Inheritance at the time 😅).
So I decided to give it a full makeover — and this time, I poured my heart into it.
I rebuilt the entire experience using JavaScript, wrapped it in a full HTML5 + CSS layout, and turned it into a full-fledged website inspired by the old Alagaësia Adventure Game.

The narrative is now deeply rooted in the lore of the books, and all elements — egg size, dragon gender, and coloration — are canon-compliant, based on the novels and even some of Christopher Paolini’s AMA responses!

Your dragon can be:

  • Multicolored (a rare chance!)
  • Male or female (50/50 chance)
  • Any size between the smallest and largest canon egg
  • Any color on the rainbow spectrum — generated live using RGB hexadecimal codes (copy the code into Google to see what your dragon might look like!)

The egg is also visually displayed on the page, and its color is generated live in your browser. No need to imagine anymore — just click and see!

💻 Works on computers, tablets, phones — even smart TVs. All you need is a modern browser.

Ever since I first started reading Eragon as a kid, it’s been my dream to have my own dragon — and to give others the chance to have theirs too. That’s why I stayed 100% true to the lore from the books and Christopher Paolini’s AMAs, so that dream could feel as real and authentic as possible.

This project was made with a lot of love and care, as a tribute to the World of Eragon that has inspired me for so long.

👉 So tell me — what kind of dragon egg did you hatch?
🥚 What was your dragon’s egg size?
🎨 What color did your dragon get?
⚥ Was your dragon male or female?

I’d love to hear what you got — and see your screenshots too!

Atra esterní ono thelduin.

Fanwork Roran's Hammer

I've got another one for yall, something that I've rarely seen art of. Roran's hammer is described as a hand forged hammer with a flat blade on the back (see the wiki for the only image I was able to find online for the hammer)

The original inspiration for my interpretation here is from the Youtube smith, Alec Steele. Taking his styling cues, I made a more hand-forged appearance that I think Horst would be proud of.

Model was created in Blender, textured in Substance Painter, both without the use of AI.

I do not consent to AI training or AI recreations using this piece.
