Artist's Comments

Crit discouraged IS on this piece. Please don't suggest changes. I have no intentions of revisiting the image and I am WELL aware that it is peppered with flaws. And I know that makes me sound like a horrid bitch, but please understand my position. I had a deadline, and had an UTTER block. I *am* disappointed in this piece, and have only put it up to assuage the curiosity of a friend (and get them to stop nagging me). So having people 'critique' it only serves to irritate the hell out of me and make me even more annoyed with the drawing. I can see the flaws just fine myself, this isn't an example of what I typically do, art wise. Sorry.

Not one of my better pieces, I'm afraid, but someone asked to see one of the illustrations for baen that they couldn't access. Sooo... done for baen publishing for the baen's universe magazine.

Done in watercolors. What happens when jess hits on a deadline and is still blocked and WAY tired x.x

I put crit discouraged on this as it was a finished piece done on a VERY short deadline for a specific purpose. It's done now so I have no desire to revisit it.

Nice job! :D

I noticed that most people who say "Sorry for my English," in their siggies are better at speaking English than most people who have spoken English their entire lives.

Well then! You should get artist's block more often. I like the perspective - this piece is quite different!

I understand the theory of evolution.
I also understand, that at a certain point in human evolution, something went horribly horribly wrong.

I like the pose and the way you have caught the knights in the background. Dont beat your self up over it! It looks good.
