SF&F Picture 33 out of 35 by Mariette S. Rose.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: A Fiery Flower (AKA: Woman Warrior)

Now, I did not draw the actual begining picture for this one, but I was the one who colored it in. Her Red dress symbolizes the bloody lifestyle she leads. I put a lot of different bright colors into this picture and chose reds and purples for the main colors. The original picture is here and was done by a good anime artist called Rikke. The way the colors could be taken is by how often the poisonous animals in nature are the most colorful. This is not a powderpuff woman and is NOT fragile. I was experimenting with different coloring techniques this time and found a very interesting way to do so. All the flames were done with the help of all the special effect options in photoshop as well as a tutorial on how to make flames. thanks for letting me do this Rikke! ^_^

3 Aug 2000	Mariette S. Rose	Loading... Well, I put this picture on my guided tour, One that has a theme of warrior women. Make sure to try the tour when you can, I found a lot of really neat pictures to use for the tour.
8 Aug 2000	Rikke Lindskov ´Gwennafran´ Loft	Loading... Guess I ought to put up a comment as well ^-^. I love what you done to the pic, I could hardly recoknice it first time I saw it (I almost fell down of my chair ^_~) Thankyou so much! I didn't knew how much colour could do to a pic before I saw this. I know how you feel, I remember the same thing. I once was browsing through elfwood and came across a really neat picture in the original picture and the colored. Both were really different in kinda the same way that my coloring job changed yours.
5 Sep 2000	Erin Stevenson O'Connor	Loading... The lighting is awesome! Great colors too, she kinda reminds me of the red-leather-wearing-dominatrix-type characters from Richard Goodkind's Sword of Truth series whose names are escaping me at the moment…Dang! Hmm, never read that, oh darn, now I need to read another book, oh well. One less hour or so of time. grins because she is a really fast reader
9 Sep 2000	Hannah 'Renée' Stewart S	Loading... you're so awesome at coloring~ love it! the lighting effects looks fab here, and really add to the atmosphere~ great colors, too! I wanted to do something with brighter colors than I normally would choose. My favorite colors are natural tones of blues, greens, and browns. I tried for a sort of extravagant color choice here. (pardon spelling)
1 Dec 2000	Ella	Loading... Lol...the expression is making me crack up!!!
22 Apr 2001	Jenna R. Christensen	Loading... She speaks to me... I like the expression, actually... kind of cocky, u know?? It's awesome, I wish I could do this...
7 Jan 2002	Cally G. Steussy	Loading... Well, extravagant certainly is the right word for it... This is a gorgeous picture, although I don't think that the mottled lighting really works right... Only nitpick I have is that that is one impractical outfit, and, well, you didn't draw it. Kudos on the coloring, though!
2 Mar 2002	Cate Pemble (Goddess of Insanity)	Loading... Yeah, i know that look. "And?" yeah, its a great pici. you have too much talent for my good
12 May 2002	Riikka	Loading... The different coloring techniques look great together!
