SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Saint Hluthar Statue In Elenvina

October 2004 - 21cm x 27cm - pencil on printer paper

This is the statue of Saint Hluthar slaying a demon. It stands in Elenvina, the capital city of the duchy of Nordmarken. I drew it for the DSA provincial paper 'Nordmärker Nachrichten'.

2 Nov 2004	Lara	Loading... Wow! That's a great picture. I love how the people are standing and looking at the statue. It makes it more interesting than if it were alone. Great Job! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Lara. It was a difficult task to place those small humans, especially the one on the left side in the background. But he was necessary to show that these larger figures are statues as well. "
3 Nov 2004	Jessica 'Jeste' Schreib	Loading... Wow! I love your pencil work! This is sooo amazing. Hope everything goes well, and we will see more of your art soon! Take care Jeste. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Jessica! I hope these three to four months of learning will be over soon and with a good outcome myself! ;-) "
3 Nov 2004	Kelsey Hottman	Loading... I love your use of light variences in the picture. Amazing! The style is unique and excellent! Lovely! It really looks liek a statue that could have been erected snicker in 15th century germany actually.. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Kelsey. I aimed for such a historic look. "
4 Nov 2004	Kristina 'Aryana' Siers	Loading... Wow, it's fantastic! Great shading! It looks wonderful with the market-place and the people around it! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Aryana! It was great fun to do. Especially since I have to study so much at the moment. That was a nice recreation."
5 Nov 2004	Kerstin ´kolibri´ Eiben	Loading... Wow, this is spectacular, with the playing of light and shadow. You truly captured the heroic feeling of the battle between Hluthar and the demon. Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thanks a lot, Kerstin! Are you playing DSA? It sounds like you know the story ..."
5 Nov 2004	Christel 'Kris' Scheja	Loading... Hey, well done, It looks really realistic... exspeically with the people (so that we can se how big he is). And all these details! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you, Christel! Indeed, the picture needs those people, first for a size reference but then also for looking more lively. I'm glad you like it! "
7 Nov 2004	Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse	Loading... Oh, cool idea of doing a statue. Very oriented of those of Saint George, huh? But its very greatly done, really. I like the place as well and that you can see how huge it is because of the people looking at it so well. The statue itself wouldn't survive very long on my world Astaraité... because this world is ruled by dragons!! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hehe, a world ruled by dragons, yes? Well, this statue doesn't depict a dragon. Hluthar fights against a demon, not a dragon. At least in DSA most dragons (as mostly all living creatures) are not really best friends with demons. And you're absolutely right, Saint George stood model for motive and style of this picture. "
10 Dec 2004	Elf Rager	Loading... Awsome pic! The shading is awsome, the lighing's neato too. Keep up the good work! thumbs up Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thanks a lot, Elf Ranger! It's a bit too fuzzy, I think. I alwas wanted to ink it but never had the time or energy to do that."
22 Apr 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Detail!!! Acki! The shading is wonderful and the size compaired to the people is really good!! Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you. Me too, I like how it turned out."
20 Nov 2007	Linnea Purple-chocolate Freij	Loading... Isn't that originally Swedish statue of St George and the dragon?(St. Göran och draken)??????The only thing missing is the maiden who symbolize a town(can't remember wish one. Maybe Gotenburg?) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Indeed, I had many paintings of St. George and the Dragon in mind when I drew this. However, I do not know the statue you mentioned. I'll have to look that one up in Google. Beatiful statues are always worth a look! "
