SF&F Picture 4 out of 7 by Abigail E. Laughlin.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Warpaint

I'm not quite happy with the way this scanned.. originally the colors were much brighter, and the scan makes it hard to see that her head is tilted slightly, making her face look uneven. It's also hard to tell that she's doing something funny with her upper lip... I feel like there's a story to this, but I can't think of one.. I'd appreciate suggestions for a title.

Realy caught my eye because I do a lot of wild designs on my own face (mostly to freak out the obnoxious idiots in this itty bitty town who think they're better than everyone else and think everyone else should be a clone of themselves). You wouldn't mind terribly if I were to use that design on my face would you?
1 Mar 2002	Scott	Loading... I was looking for something of historical record. I cannot tell looking at this whether it is pure fantasy or actually depicts Celtic design and color choice. It is a nice drawing in any case. Abigail E. Laughlin replies: "The pattern--and everything else in the picture--came more or less directly out of my head, and so far as I know it doesn't depict any actual pattern used by the Celts."
26 Apr 2002	Atlacamani	Loading... First I think the picture is beautiful. Second, I would call it 'Unshead Tears'.
17 May 2003	Silvara Dragon	Loading... Prettyful. I like how you draw your eyes. I hate you talented people.
29 Jul 2003	Salek FireStag	Loading... I see something different than y'all...if you look her in the eye she is defiant and very mildly interested in why you are here...indifference towards ya...kinda creeps me out...I think it's fantastic!
15 Oct 2003	Anonymous	Loading... I think this should be called lilac swirl as the colour on her face reflects the name above your work is beautiful
20 Mar 2004	Anonymous	Loading... Hey I would name her the pricess of war but you can call her what ever you want chelsea c.
23 Mar 2004	Kanjaska, or Jask	Loading... Sooooooooooooooo cooooooooooooooooool!!!
6 Feb 2005	Theri	Loading... The picture is very focused and delicate, but would an elf wear war paint?
3 Jul 2008	Idea person	Loading... heres an idea: her name is , well watever u want ther name to be, and she is a stealthy warrior of good (or evil). At night she kills the enemies. To those who see her flash by, and all the others, she is known as the Midnight Spirit.
