SF&F Picture 18 out of 23 by Julia N Letoutchaia.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Pull Me Under

The working title for this picture was 'Tea for One', which is the name of a song by Led Zeppelin I was listening to when this picture really came together. It goes something like 'How come 24 hours, baby, sometimes seem to slip in a day... a minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I'm feelin' this way..' 'Time' by Pink Floyd was another song instrumental in the completion of this. But when I was listening to 'Pull Me Under' by Dream Theater, it made so much more sense as a title(yes I'm completely unoriginal). There's a lot of little symbolism in this.14' x 17', colored pencil on black paper (which I suppose is akin to painting on black velvet).

I really like the stylized wings, they actually inspire me to do some interesting looking wings too. The symbolism is interesting and the composition is great. Actually, I would like to see more art on black paper from you, I like it a lot.

5 Aug 2000	Davy Tang H.Y.	Loading... Julia, I really like this new picture. There's so much detail in here! And the wings (they're wings, ne?) are done really well. Draw more! hee hee Yep, definitely wings! ^^ They were supposed to look metal, like sharp knives. Instead, they just... I dunno, it didn't quite turn out right L
8 Aug 2000	Frida M. Bergkvist	Loading... Those are very original wings, I must say - and a beautiful choice of colours as well.
14 Aug 2000	Abby Lawrence	Loading... Gawd! Okay, fine! I'll do it! I'll comment on all your pictures. About this one.... I love it! Kinda depressing, but hey, life's like that sometimes. The wings DO look like knives, and I like the hourglass in the background... counting down to something, ne?And the cuts on her arm shudders reminds me of those people that cut their arm on purpose.... great picture, invokes alot of feelings.
