SF&F Picture 46 out of 56 by Shelz Keast.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Mandrakes

The Mandrakes family settle down for a quite evening under their new hangedman. Father sits smoking his pipe while mother does some embroidery. The little girl is reading her picture book and her brother plays fetch with their dog.

Done for a freindly art challenge with some other people around elfwood, spear headed byMaxine Cox. Her version is here. Another version, by Anne Wipf, is here.The idea was to draw a mandrake or mandrakes. The original size was A3 so some of the sumginess and dark bands came about from scanning and joing the two halves, I appologise. The gap in the middle is intentional.

19 Jan 2007	Maxine "piXel" Cox	Loading... ha ha ha! very good! I love how you chose a family scene, and such the perfect setting. Nice little twist with the little black dog, frolicking with the mandrake child... just have to wait for my current ticket to be cleared before I can submit my version - maXine Shelz Keast replies: "Thanks, tell me when your tickect's through."
13 May 2007	Wayne D. Hingley	Loading... As one of the participants of this challenge who still hasn't started yet (cough cough slacker cough) let me congratulate you on your success. Great pic. Shelz Keast replies: "Thank you. I have no idea who most of the participants are. I got it finished so quickly simply because I had school holidays (in fianl year of secondary school). Tell me when you up load your version of Mandrakes."
8 Jul 2007	Anne Wipf	Loading... Hehe: I love this version, a quiet scene under the feet of a hanged man...
8 Nov 2007	Sharn Renee Simpson	Loading... They are so cute! they look like something out of a Dr. Zeus book. I heard about the competition from maXine and decided to enter. The ticket is yet to be processed but it's entered. Feel free to check it out. Shelz Keast replies: "I loved the Dr. Zeus books as a kid!I remember Maxine mentioning you. This one is part of last year's mandrake challenge. This year's challenge is local myths (The Poinciana Woman is my contribution). Glad to have you in the challenge."
