This will be my last Dune drawing for a while. I wanted to draw Sheeana, a character that was introduced in "Heretics of Dune" and carried through the sequals by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson. Sheeana is a desdendent of the Atreides, but only sort of, since she is descended from Ganima rather than Leto II. At any rate, as a little kid she finds out that she can control the worms and awaken the sleeping mind of Leto II that resides in all the worms. So she goes out and dances in the desert and the worms dance with her. On the left, she has gone deep inside of a worm in an attempt to merge with it, so she's in his stomach covered in wierd juices. In the center she's dancing with a worm, and on the right I just wanted to draw more of a closeup, but I put the no-ship in the background. So this was how I pictured her, I messed up and made her a bit darker than I meant in the middle picture, but it was a learning experience for me so now I know what to do next time. This was done with colored pencil and ink. In the process I discovered that a lot of my most important colored pencils were worn down to nubs, so it might have to visit Hobby Lobby before I can do anymore colored pencil projects. We shall see.

Cool. I had to go to the lobby today myself because my pens are beginning to die on me.

The sands are very cool. I like the shading on the moon/celestial body in the background. I love colour you used for the blue eyes.

Thanks, yes Arrakis has 2 moons, and I always like drawing planets and moons up in the sky any chance I get. The eyes happen to any spice addicts. The Fremen always have eyes like that, and so do the high ranking Guild people, as well as the Bene Gesseriat reverend mothers.

Yea that's also where I got my pens. I am going to have to replenish my colored pencils if I want to get anymore work done. I probably don't use as much ink as you do.

I use ink pens about every other day between my comic and other projects.

Yea, I've started back up using them again but I'll break away, except for comics. Comics have to be done with ink or they don't look right. I could probably do some more Sir Justice pretty soon. We shall see.

All reverend mothers get eyes like that too? Ooo, I didn't know that.

True that.

Yea, because they have to go through the spice agony in order to become reverend mothers. When the spice builds up in people's bodies it turns their eyes all blue like that. You'll find out more about all that as you read through though. I suspect once you do you might end up illustrating some of the stuff as well.
