[Styxx had been thinking about this for awhile, and finally decided to turn on his phone to make an offer to everyone.]

I know everyone might have someone that they miss from their homes. Perhaps someone you've lost, or a memory, place, or story you want to remember or tell, so I'm making an offer for everyone to sketch those people or places for them. No charge since it's something to keep me busy. Let me know if you are interested.

[And then he holds up a sketchbook and flips through a few pages, keeping the more personal ones out of view.]

Some of my work.

[He shows a few sketches. Sketch 2. Sketch 3. Each looks like they might jump off the page at any moment, showing Styxx's skill and emotions all put into them.

Once he's done showing the sketches, he ends the feed.]

Clearly... [She's impressed, and mildly embarrassed.]

[It takes her a moment, but she eventually nods.] I do, actually...

[She's seen thousands of images of herself, shot in multiple countries in hundreds of outfits and from a million different angles... Not one of them has ever been this... honest.] It's... almost intimidating.

Looks like I have you an idea.
phoenixstrut: (everybody look left!)

It's just nice to actually see me In someone's mind for once and not some... crazy glam version of me, [she shrugs.]
k2so: (What did I do to deserve this?)

No, no, it might be my fault. I've been busy with my new business. But no, it's not.

[ Oh wow man. You look great for your age. ]

[She perked up a bit hearing he did a few more sketches for her and once he sent them to her and she saw them...Li smiled, looking pleased and happy for once.]

They're beautiful. Thanks.

[He just gets a smile for that one, even as she settles back more comfortably in her chair.]

...Have you ever drawn yourself? [she asks, studying him through the video. If that had been his interpretation of her... ]
phoenixstrut: (wed)

[personal profile] phoenixstrut 2018-09-13 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
...why not?

[She nodded, still staring at the images and wishing they were real. Li sincerely missed her herd.. her family. All of them, even the ones that got on her nerves. To be able to see them again in drawings really did mean a lot to her.

She nodded slightly and really, was trying not to cry.]


I appreciate it. Maybe... once my curse is broken, I'll have a small memorial or something for them. It's been three hundred years... but, I never got the chance to.

What's the most people you'll put in a picture?

[He might have a doozy of a request coming up.]

[Ah, the sound of an honest man. Although the shadows of his cowl make it near impossible to see, Artorias smiles.]

Thank you. I imagine my caution is unwarranted, but... Well, few are the knights who survive terribly long that lack it.

[He shifts a bit, settling in for what is as much a story as a description.]

...Although my Lord acknowledges but two now, in reality his children are four in number.

The youngest, Gwyndolin, is acknowledged still, but oft overlooked due to her reclusive nature and ill-health. I... thought she might like a portrait of herself. [He goes on to further describe the youngest princess. Don't ask him to explain the snake legs. That's just how Gwyndolin is.

Next he speaks of his Lord's third child, Filianore, and her kindness, conspicuously avoiding any mention of why he had been forbidden to speak of her.]

[She almost presses him... but backs down with an understanding nod.]

And your favorite thing to draw? [Shes fairly certain she knows the answer.]

Twelve?

[and he sends him this picture]

I've been here for nearly a year and none of my team's shown up, I miss them lots.
awalkinthedark: (It was nice chatting with you. Bye.)

[And then there's a long, somber pause.]

...My captain held Lord Gwyn's eldest as a dear friend. He still does, I believe, even after... what transpired. I feel that some record of his existence would be a comfort next I see him.

[This description takes a bit longer than the others, interspersed with more pauses as he tries to recall the features of someone he'd not seen in quite a long time, and yet somehow seems a bit more personal in the way he tells it than it had been for the other two.]

((ooc: In case you're canonblind, I figure I should mention that there's no official art of the Nameless King prior to looking kinda zombie-ish which happens after the last time Artorias sees him, so feel absolutely free to skip him if need be.))
