It's BEAUTIFUL! I only have one criticism, and I didn't even think of this at first b/c the pic was so gorgeous... but shouldn't she be a lot bigger? I know she's leaning over him so you can't quite tell she's like, what, nine feet tall? But I imagined her a little larger. I love the colors of the garden!

This woman looks just like actress Jessica Stover!!! Amazing! She is rumored to be in the running for the role of the White Witch in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe films being produced by Walden. Check it out: http://www.narniaweb.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42&PN=1

This is a different angle of her face, but trust me, it freaked me out when I saw this! I think Stover is fated for this role. I see this was made a few years ago, so obviously it wasn't intended.

I'm VERY enchanted (and impressed) by your art. i've been looking though your gallery, especially at the Narnia works, and It just struck me to ask you, do you use models for your paintings? And if so, do you find that it helps a great deal? I'm not going to go on about how lifelike your work is, because i'm sure you've heard it all and I don't want to be an elfwood ass kisser...lol. But I am honestly curious, because they do look real. Do you use models or do you draw these from skilled practice?

Of course it's not Turkish Delight, Emlyn... the White Witch gave that to _Edmund_ in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

WOW! I just saw the 'traitor among us' and I think it's very cool how you changed her look. The years have not been kind to her! Here she looks stunning. I feel kinda sorry for Diggory... with those long claws on his arm... and that lady hissing in his ear.
Having a lion's face on the gate is a nice touch too.

This is wonderful... I love the look of jadis...So evil and with that claw-like hand...She is very much the barbarian queen in your choice of clothing...And i love diggory's clothes as well...The only problems i have is that i agree with a person above...Diggory should look more heartbroken and sick from his choice, not merely confused...And that the garden should be overflowing, with towering trees, but maybe thats just me...

I like your version of the Witch a lot more. Evil women should be pretty, not ugly and fish-like o.O

I like the detail; it looks so realistic! Also good that you added the lion’s head on the gate, that makes a good touch.
