new portrait in PMA Pern Portrait Series - A Meeting of Minds

***Hans*** · Dec 9 2007, 11:50 AM

The much revered resident PMA artist Linda Eicher has delivered her latest astounding creation in the Pern Portrait Series: Tarvi Andiyar, later known as Tarvi Telgar. You might remember his partner Sallah Telgar being the first portrait in this series some months ago. Well, Sallah is not alone anymore, her beloved Tarvi has joined her! On special request Linda also pictured two other early Pern characters in the background (which pictures working on the Fort caves itself): Cobber Alhinwa and Ozzie Munson, the last of which helped Tarvi founding Telgar Hold and settled there. The new portrait with the, by now established "storytelling background scene", is the fourth in the series Linda Eicher made for the Pern Museum & Archives.

Please go to the Pern Museum & Archives and click on the portrait to see the full painting in the encyclopedia (from where you can access an even larger version).

Ladies, isn't he gorgeous?

Deb · Dec 9 2007, 12:07 PM

Very nice!! Once again...Lady M has outdone herself!! The detail, as always, is magnificent!!

Cherlyn · Dec 9 2007, 12:45 PM

Greenrider Tresa · Dec 9 2007, 04:21 PM

Nice! And just about how I imagine Tarvi too.

Kat · Dec 9 2007, 04:56 PM

HUBBA HUBBA

Yes he's like I pictured in my head too.

**Cheryl** · Dec 9 2007, 06:09 PM

Oh, Lin! He's gorrrrrrrrgeous! I think you captured him perfectly! I like the cave too, and I'm picky about caves.

I always pictured him a little leaner than that... but hey, he gets a 'hubba hubba' from me too!

edith · Dec 9 2007, 06:53 PM

Ooh....

lovely!

Same here - I pictured him as ... pictured, but skinnier.

Hmm. Kind of like Luka on E.R.

Sandi · Dec 9 2007, 08:52 PM

Excellent, Master Maelin! I'm finally beginning to see what Sallah saw in him!

Goldrider Thais · Dec 9 2007, 09:35 PM

wow!

Really, I see a little bit of Mohinder from Heroes.

The picture is really nice.

Dragongirl · Dec 9 2007, 10:17 PM

Second the HUBBA HUBBA...for an old guy he sure is gorgeous!

**Cheryl** · Dec 9 2007, 10:57 PM

Good eye, R2005, as I think he was the original model. Maelin did a lovely job aging him, as Tarvi's no spring chicken anymore.

sjslack · Dec 9 2007, 11:04 PM

-Jawdrop-

That's...just...-blinks-

I thought it was a photograph on first glance. >.<

Lady Maelin · Dec 10 2007, 03:10 AM

@*R*, Yes that was who I used in the start...Cheryl found him and sent a link to me. He is a very beautiful young man...but I had to age him up a lot to look his vigorous 60 years old.

@Kath and Shalyn...I know I didn't get him thin enough...but that was very hard to do and keep him as handsome as Sallah suggested he was...so I sort of compromised.

@Sammy... Old

...he isn't old...just very pleasantly matured...

Thank you all so much for the very lovely compliments on *Tarvi*.
I am glad that all you ladies are enjoying him so much...I can really say that it was indeed a very enjoyable experience working on him...it perhaps took me a few days longer with his portrait, because I wanted to keep him on my easel longer

...it was great looking at him while I work.

Amaterasu · Dec 10 2007, 08:10 AM

Maelin, the portret is excellent! Everything fits to the descriptions given in the books. And your Tarvi has Indian features in his face as it must be! Bravo!!!

Lara · Dec 10 2007, 09:56 AM

I've always imagined him finer-featured, ascetic-looking, and certainly not with such a mop of hair. I've always seen him as a Brahmin, warrior-priest.

Shalyn · Dec 10 2007, 10:31 AM

You misunderstand - I picture him in my mind as looking like Luka from ER.

Yes, the picture looks loke Mohinder, which, as Cheryl and Lin have said, was the original model.

And Maelin - I just wanted to say - yes, very beautiful portrait. I didn't mean to sound critical (in case you took it that way).

*sighs dreamily* Oh, yeah, I'd "do" him.

Lady Maelin · Dec 10 2007, 05:53 PM

Shalyn...Thank you for the compliment...I didn't take it as critisim, I had the same thoughts when I was doing

...dreaming...I mean drawing him

L'isa · Dec 10 2007, 06:35 PM

Oh, Master Maelin, he is just a hunk. As always, an awesome job.

Lady Maelin · Dec 10 2007, 06:40 PM

Lara, I'm sorry that you didn't see any of Tarvi, in my drawing. Hopefully you'll enjoy the next character portrait. I do try very hard to follow the books discription as close as I can...but still each of us develop our own ideas of what each of the characters look like, so it's no surprise that some won't agree with my vision of them.

Dragongirl · Dec 11 2007, 01:43 AM

Maelin...sixties is old for me.

Gwina · Dec 11 2007, 03:29 AM

Ooooh, such strong features. I can definetely imagine him and Sallah together. :makes me all weepy: I loved that part with them in the books.
You do such a masterful job, Maelin. *sigh* :scrolls page up to have another look: (-;

It's a splendid portrait in itself, Lady Maelin, but as you say, we each have our own picture of the characters!

mawra · Dec 11 2007, 08:25 PM

You defently deserve your MASTER statice. Great job.

Lady Maelin · Dec 13 2007, 05:02 PM

@ Sammy...you little imp

...someday that is going to catch up with you little Missy...wrinkles and all

But like you said...lets hope not for a very long time and not before you have lived a very full and wonderful life. BRAT!!!

@Gwina...Thank you very much

[QUOTE Gwina]I can definetely imagine him and Sallah together. :makes me all weepy:[QUOTE Gwina]
You and me both Gwina...want a hanky(sob)??? I always have them close when I read Dargondawn...I love that story too

sooo ok I love them all

@Lara, Thank you for the compliment...and yes we do indeed all see different characters. I'm just very happy when my vision matches up with so many others ideas too. Perhaps next time you and I will see the same character...hopefully!!!

@Maw, Thank you for your compliment...

P'ter · Dec 13 2007, 05:54 PM

Lady Maelin · Dec 14 2007, 05:38 PM

Lisa, Thank you very much for your compliments...sorry I missed you ...I am so happy that you like/drool over Tarvi too....

FlameCat · Dec 14 2007, 08:09 PM

i

to the master!!!

fantastic!!! you have amazed us again

Dragongirl · Dec 14 2007, 11:19 PM

*angelic smile* Are you kidding Lin? I plan on staying sixteen forever!

Lady Maelin · Dec 15 2007, 12:47 AM

I think Mother Nature will cure you of being *16 Forever*...and by the looks of your Graduation photos Young Lady...it will be sooner than later. Besides you will always be a brat and an imp...no matter what your age, especially to some of us here

Deb · Dec 15 2007, 08:06 AM

Holding at 29 has been my game for a while.....I used to be 27!!

Lady Maelin · Dec 16 2007, 01:25 PM

Well sometime or other we have to age a bit...or our wrinkles and grey hair will tell on us anyways...

Gwina · Dec 17 2007, 12:43 AM

I hope I turn white... lol..my hair, I mean. I would wear it proudly. Although all colors are nice. (-: Yes a hanky, please. To Sallah! :grabs nearest tissue to blow nose then searches for cup of tea:

Becky · Dec 17 2007, 01:20 AM

Just catching up on things since my computer was out of whack for a while and I'm sorry to have missed this!!!! But VERY glad to have come across it now....
WOW, Maelin! I thought of Mohinder at once too.

Great job, as always! Love the cave too! Not much I can add, but wanted to congratulate you on another woonderful portrait!

Faren · Dec 17 2007, 05:38 AM

That's just wonderful, Lady Maelin!

I really love the larger view with the caves.

Becky · Dec 17 2007, 10:54 AM

Maelin, you did a fantastic job of expressing his deep sorrow even after all the years have past since Sallah died. That's not an easy task to do in a painting. You're just awesome with your talents!!! Thank you for bringing these characters to life for us!

Lady Maelin · Dec 17 2007, 05:09 PM

Thank you so much Becky for the lovely compliments... I worked very hard on getting just the right expression in his eyes...one that echoed his great sorrow. I am so glad that you have enjoyed this one.

Faren, thank you kindly..glad that you are enjoying Tarvi.

I really do hope you meant that in a "oh she's blossoming into a beautiful young woman" way Lin.

And those are smile crinkles around my eyes for the record. They add to the cheeky appearance. Boys like them.

That's not an easy task to do in a painting. You're just awesome with your talents!!! Thank you for bringing these characters to life for us! __________________ Becky aka Coelura1
