| 22 Oct 2001 | Simon S. Pettersson | Haha! 'nother first comment! I really like your style, Melanie! You rock. This is more than just a sketch. I think this kind of style looks great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I appreciate that a lot. As a general rule, I don't do inkings (though I will use ink wash). This is the first inking I've done in about 2 years so I'm glad to know that someone liked it. | |
| 14 Nov 2001 | Camille | Damn! Sorry for the expentive but your work is really good. Her dress is extreamly elegant. The owl is drawn very well considering its just a scketch. Great Job! | |
| 22 Nov 2001 | Amanda R. Keeys | This is very pretty. The simple lines give it an almost elegant look, imo. The owl is nice too. I especially like her hand, yet I think that she would need a glove of some sort so that the owl's claws didn't rake her hands to bits  | |
| 4 Jan 2002 | Emily A. Evans | I really like this one! The posture is really good and the owl adds a bit of character to her. | |
| 16 Apr 2002 | Krissby | When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought that maybe you had drawn the goddess Athena (you know, with the whole owl thing)! It's a nice drawing, though, not to be too nit-picky (heehee, i'm that way a lot!), her hand just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of her body, especially her head. It seems as if the owl's claws made it swell! But I really like your owl! | |
| 17 Nov 2002 | Haley | This piccy reminded me much of harry potter for some reason sorry. Anyhow it is an extreamly nice sketch. I like it a lot.^_^  Melanie E. Haley replies: "Why sorry? I love Harry Potter. I admit I've thought the same thing on occassion in retrospect since the bird *is* based off of a snowy owl. Hullooooo, Hedwig." | |
| 13 Aug 2003 | Laken | Wow, your 'quick sketches' make my month long works look like five year old scribbles. She's amazing, the way you've drawn the fabric to fall is lovely, as well as the style of her hair. Very well done, good job. | |
| 22 May 2004 | Your biggest fan | How in the world did you do that? It looks alive! | |
| 23 Sep 2004 | Tawny | It Looks great... it reminds me of Athena... the goddess of wisdome. | |
