Awesome Fanart

eller...or: Two people draw the same scene. Independently of each other, two artists decided to draw me ATCs with Koh (and some fire). :D It's funny, really: like, 50% of Kolthainn fanart (the part of it that's not random tetrahedra, anyway) happens to be of Koh; he's by far the most popular character, and people who look at my ATC folder without knowing any of the stories inevitably conclude he's "the main character". (This is technically not the case. Since Kolthainn ist not one story but rather this conglomerate of stories and art set in the same world, different stories have different protagonists.) I mean, I don't mind - Koh is the oldest character of the whole project (he popped up in my comments on some program code when I was 12, stupid, and writing a weird rotating tetrahedron simulation) and probably the most complex one (as in, he has a distinct personality that I as the storyteller don't have much control over - he's a person). It's just funny. XD Anyway.
Lumelievm drew this wonderful picture: Koh in the air! FIRE! So cute!!! :D :D :D (Also, I kind of love the color scheme...)
Simultaneously (because the pictures were mailed at the same time), Lethean drew this (and it has glitter and neon colors, too):
I'm so impressed! :D Both pictures are, of course, impeccable on the technical level. (I mean... It's just really, really awesome art, and I appreciate it a lot!) They also show exactly the same thing, which is a really funny coincidence. (I did not put them up to this, and to the best of my knowledge, they were not talking to eack other during the creation, either.) It's just that the styles are extremely different from each other, and the ways they treat character and scene are absolutely fascinating. (There's a lot of freedom for "fanartists" because for all that I like to draw, I don't draw Kolthainn stuff very often. Because I don't have much of a visual imagination, the characters started out without fixed visual designs, too. I mean, I draw them sometimes, but embarrassingly, some other people are much better at drawing them than I am. I can only draw flowers... People, not so much. Yes, yes, I should practice...) Also, probably unsurprisingly, I just went WHEEEEEEE when I opened those letters. I mean. I get all the BEST artwork! YAY!!!
