SciFi and Fantasy Art: Street PhoenixI drew this phoenix on the local tennis court near my house. It took two hours and it was a real work-out! Those kendo-muscles came in handy... The phoenix is 5 meters from beak to tail and 4 meters across the wings, which is really too big... I foud out the hard way. Lost count on how many chalks I used up. Possibly my most expensive drawing ever. =/ I would have liked a better variety of colors, but I couldn't get my hands on any. I almost paniced when I realized I didn't have any black. (Nooooo!) The colors was a bit crappy, no real red, but only some replusive shade of pastell pink. *twitches* Well, what are you gonna do. I took the pictures immediately after finishing it, because I could almost hear the local kids drooling in the shadows to come out and kill it. I was right too, when I went to check on it three hours later, it was ruined. The "street phoenix" was too big for me to photograph it properly. Either way I did it, it got out of porpotion or it didn't fit on the screen. So I took a couple of photos. In total, there are three uploaded here on Elfwood. |

Emma JC Nilsson replies: "I upped the contrast in this photo just a little to get the colors out, but this way, it actually looks more like it did in reality. Somehow the colors looked really bleak on the photo..." | |
| 3 Aug 2007 |  Sailor Johto | Oh my Gosh! You drew that on the tennis court?! Wow, that's amazing!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Well, tennis court... Dunno what else to call it. Large, asphalt square for random activities? =)" | |
| 3 Aug 2007 |  Lena *Lenny* Vidulich | Beautiful. I don't get why people wouldn't be more careful and try not to destroy it... Well, at least you got photos of it!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "The support I've been given really makes me happy. =) It's a real comfort that I can show you this picture even though the original is long gone." | |
| 4 Aug 2007 |  Robyn *Copperhead* Lee | That is absolutely beautiful. It's breathtaking! I am so glad you took pics of it. You're definitely braver than me...there is no way I'd want to leave something so gorgeous on the sidewalk only to have it ruined. I wonder how many people actually looked at it before it was destroyed? Wonderful job. Thanks so much for sharing!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Well, at least I got some strange looks by the bypassers while I was working on it. =D" | |
| 4 Aug 2007 |  Storm ´Shadow´ Blakley | Omg i love it!!! You really felt the pain in your art, eh? This looks a lot like how i picture the pheonyx in some of my stories here. Well-deserved mod's!!!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Phoenix's deserve to be depicted and wrote about in stories, don't you think? =) Keep up the writing!" | |
| 4 Aug 2007 | The goose of killing | Congratulations! You've got another mod's choice!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Johannes, my insane second cousin! *hands you a bee hive* Thanks for dropping by! =D" | |
| 4 Aug 2007 |  Marissa Krosigk | Too cool that you drew that in chalk! There's a beautiful chalk drawing down the block from me, and I often stop and admire it. Awesome!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Maybe I'll try to develop my chalk-skills... This was my first time, after all. I'll go look for someplace with less sadistic kids around. =)" | |
| 4 Aug 2007 | Anonymous | Actually, your colours worked quite well. I like the very dreamy, faded feel of the drawing, like the Phoenix is gliding and fading away in its colours. It looks poetic, if you get my meaning.  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Wow, thanks. You make it sound so beautiful. =) And like it was intended... ^^," | |
| 5 Aug 2007 |  Robyn *Copperhead* Lee | Don't feel bad. I've got neighbors like that, too. They just can't keep thier noses out of other peoples' business. Lol. I think that's why people like that live for. *sighs* Oh, well!  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Just saw yesterday that the local kids has been drawing with chalk all over the path right outside my front door. Go kids! (And if the evil neighbour gets upset, I'm innocent this time! =P)" | |
| 5 Aug 2007 |  Robyn *Copperhead* Lee | They were just jealous because they couldn't do it.  But I'll bet there were a few who thought to themselves..."Wow, she's good!!!"  Emma JC Nilsson replies: "One can always hope. =) I'm just happy my evil neighbour didn't catch me doing it. She spies on everyone and complains about everything. I'm sure she would have given me a good reason why I shouldn't be drawing all over the tennis court..." | |
