I ought to come up with more creative titles. I mean, seriously.
Like Chibi Zora, this incarnation Ankhkare is from Hyrulian Wars ([link]), a text-based Legend of Zelda RPG. He's a Kokiri. ^_^ His fairy is named Ai -- and no, it's not (love). The kanji means "indigo", and she's named thus because that's the hue she gives off. Ankhkare is actually not my original character like Chibi is, but a character from another RP that I do with my best friend... who goes by the name "Indigo". ^_^ Also, "A.I." happen to be Ankhkare's initials: Ankhkare Imanta. Pretty cool, huh? Ankhkare is a party-member of Chibi's, and close friend of hers, and vaguely a romantic interest. I'm notorious for not being able to draw men very well. (They're so boxy!) Luckily for me, Ankhkare is a kid, and he's effeminate looking, so I think I did a decent job. He's very green, though. ^_^ I like the lighting I did on his hair, though I think I should have emphasized Ai's light more. This is my first time drawing a hat, so I have mixed feelings about how it turned out... I'm not sure if I like the way I tried to texture the fabric; it might be a bit too velvety. But overall, I still think it's decent! |

And you're right, Ai *can* mean love, but it depends on the kanji you use. Ai can mean either "love" or "indigo".
愛 means love
藍 is the colour indigo
Both are pronounced あい or "ai". When you're talking about the colour indigo though, you often say 藍色 (ai-iro) though, so you don't confuse love and indigo. xD I meant in my discription that her name would use the kanji for "indigo", not "love".
Also, 藍 can be pronounced like らん"ran". I think that that's the onyomi though.
