Artist's Comments

Another thing I guess I can fill my gallery here with.

Actually, it was a class assignment. Seems to reach people more than my lame comic work.

Beauty and the Beast, although that's...particularly obvious. The class assignment was a storybook illustration, hence the wording up top, so apologies if it bothers you.

Watercolor and ink on toned paper.

Alice came to a fork in the road.
"Which road do I take?" she asked.
"Where do you want to go?"
responded the Cheshire Cat.
"I dont know." Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesnt matter."

I love it when the beast is extremely horrid and scary. The contrast is so much greater. I love the coloring, I can't watercolor to save my life... The little highlights on the beast's mouth is the best ;]

If I could ever figure out how watercolour can be turned into something like this. My own school attempts just produced big wet pieces of paper.

With those horn and that maw, it is hard not to make certain connections to the Balrog.

Very Nice I like the overall quality and style of it. The piece has a very art nuevo quality to it. I love the color pallet and the loose way you applied it to your line work. The only thing negative I could say about it is here hands which are not proportional and her left hand the palm is to long for the fingers.


Great composition.

the entire drawing is fantastic, but Beast reminds me of a spider... *shiversincornerwithaluminumbat*

95% of kids laugh at other kids because they are different. Copy this into your profile if you are a part of the 5% that laughs at the other 95% because they're all the same.

The emotional impact of this work is stunning.

I love your take on this. It shows a great deal of emotion and the style is very interesting. I really like how you did the lighting in particular (seeing as how most people go very dark with that particular scene)
Wonderful stuff :)
