| 11 Nov 2000 | Fariewings | Cool pic! I love it! | |
| 20 Mar 2001 | Rawnblade XVI | This is really cool. I like the blue you used, and the detail on the body if really good. Cool hair, too. Nice work! | |
| 30 May 2001 | Rikke 'Gwennafran' L. Loft | I really would like to see the original on this one. 'Cause as it look now I go "coloured pencils, wow! is that even possible?..." so I'd like to know how much is pencil and how much is photoshop. Just to know what's pċossible to do with coloured pencils. ^_~  Russell D. Drake replies: "I took the colors of the scanned in picture and smudged and airburshed them in Photoshop. Thats why this one has a soother feel to it than the usual colored pencil pic. The original is much lighter. Ill post it so you can see how much changed." | |
| 21 Aug 2001 | Kelvin Michael Green | The colouring and rendering on this is magnificent! | |
| 3 Sep 2001 | Levente Peterffy | The shades are a little bit too rough, dont you think?  Russell D. Drake replies: "Yeah I think it is too. I lost the original in a bad format of my old computer... doh, and this is all I have left. I had to resize it here in elfwood once a while ago and I got some degredation in the colors... to bad, it used to be much more smooth." | |

| 22 Oct 2002 | Marcela Roberts | Nice muscle tone on the body, but if u're going to makes his body so defined, oddly enough, the smoke and fire has to be that defined as well. By that, I mean, more different shades in the smoke and fire.  They'll contrast each other and make the whole piece look like it belongs together.  Russell D. Drake replies: "Ya know what, I think your right. I was going for a really soft look in the smoke but a harsher, more defined look would probably look much better. Thanks for the advice." | |
| 3 Jan 2003 | Rivui | This is the most evil, cool and dangerous pic i have ever seen in my life!!!!! You have enormous talent. I hope you will get rich coz of that. This is my first and last comment on Elfwood. Until u draw something similar cool to this   Russell D. Drake replies: "Well thank you for the compliment. I hope I get rich off of my work too. " | |
