SciFi and Fantasy Art: Princess

She looks a lot like Danielle Anjou, the model Boris has used many times over. It`s a very good likeness.

This is the best you've done so far! The angle is very difficult, but you drew it perfectly. I look forward to seeing more!

You have done this so realistically, the expression and her pose is flawless! Maybe she is thinking "what should I wear today?"

This is really good--a difficult angle, for me anyway. The underside of the chin always looks so strange and out of place from this angle! But you did a really good job in making it look realistic.

Well Frank, like Boris Vallejo much? I suggest you get a life model of your own and not copy/trace other artists work. Other artists? Sorry, your a tracer.

Frank Schulze replies: "Well, dear unknown, I'm so sorry, that I've incured your displeasure. Please excuse, that in the age of 17 I hadn't yet had the money for a life model. In fact, I feel sorry about this myself, for I'd been glad to get acquainted with especially Danielle Anjou. *chuckles*This is an early picture, drawn at a time when I indeed copied successful artists work. It's the way I started with drawing. What of it? As well I always attached great importance to the fact, that I never traced one of my drawings. Copying in the first years - yes! Tracing - never! Folks who aren't capable to do this by themselves often have problems with their imagination that this is possible. Later I had "real models", what you've could easily noticed, if you'd have gone to the trouble and looked at some of the other pictures. It would have been rather difficult to trace the bones of the woodelephant-skeleton (it's not a mammoth) when I've drawn it in the museum. Sorry, for your unexpected intelligent suggestion is about 15 years late. )At last I never took part in a competition if or if not I'm an artist (my last information was, that this is an amateur gallery). But I'm respectfully impressed to get acquainted with a person full of wealth of taste who can qualified judge about who's an artist and who not. Oh wait, we haven't got acquainted, you've missed to leave your contact. Anyhow, the only thing which makes me slightly feel sorry for them are folks, who haven't got the guts to state who they are. Very well, actually that's very revealing!"

It's me again the nasty,cowardly, anonymous one. Okay, firstly an apology. Sorry you couldn't afford a life model etc etc,at the time and sorry for my rudeness. It was just a little vexing that the other people who had commented on your drawing seemed to give you credit for your work which was (am i wrong) just a project or exercise to see if you could shade, get the proportions right etc. Too many etc's sorry. Again you are right, didn't look at the rest of your work but the reason behind my ill thought out comments were annoyance at people crediting your work which was, in my view, artistic plagiarism. Was just looking for info on Danielle Anjou as Boris Vallejo's Mirage is a favourtite book of mine. Hence the lack of contact info. Ted

She has some kind of imperfection in her face that makes more real. I still dont now what is but its fantastic!!!
Congratulations

Wow, I like the shape of her face. This is the closest thing in becoming an actually photograph. You're awesome! I see no flaws!

Great piece, attention to detail. People have suggested that the princess is looking for her clothes. Could be...maybe only the artist will ever now. I imagine that she could be a prostitute who calls herself Princess. Men are captivated by her. She's different, she sleeps with men without loosing herself, drowning in her own mysterious world...even to those that have touched her before she's still a virgin, like royalty...A PRINCESS.

Looks like the princess of an underwater kingdom to me She's surfaced for negotiations with the land-dwellers, and there's an unconquerable pride and serenity in her face. Amazing!
