SF&F Picture 16 out of 26 by Serena J. Loder .

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Lurking in the Dark

This picture was painted on canvas paper, which is why it looks a little...well...off. My scanner doesn't deal well with contours. The pic itself is of an odd creature I wrote about in a story. No one really knows what it is, so everyone calls it 'The Shadowflash', for the very good reason that that is really all one sees of it when it appears. When it is acctually sitting still, this is all that most people see. I'm sorry, but I removed the character sketch, it was only taking up space. Simply out, this is a canine/human creature with the eyes of a cat.

7 Feb 2000	Guadalupe de los Santos	Loading... Great pictue! I read your "shadow in the dark" story, and came to see the picture. This is what I thought it is, really matches the character presented in the story!
24 Feb 2000	Elfwood artist: , (Click here	Loading... hi, really like the picture. Great aura of spookiness.
18 Mar 2000	John Teall	Loading... in the mystical tranquility of the occluded shadows of annonymity - seeing and not being seen - the subtle threads of evolving probabilities and consiquence to pull and tug at - a little here - a little there - not too much - now moving on - now here - now there - these eyes too have i gazed outward from within (though i make no claim to being privy to all thier secret and hidden convolutions ... ~
2 Oct 2000	Aoi Negai	Loading... cuteness.. but dark and cloudy murkness.. nicely painted, I cant paint that well.
10 Dec 2000	Emily Styles	Loading... Lovely, lovely. It's very grabbing. Those eyes...brrr. As has been mentioned before, the atmosphere is very well done, very creepy, and I think the abstractness of it helps that very much. Quite, quite good. I'd ask for permission to print this up, but I don't think my printer would do it justice. C'est la vie. As to what it is? I see a lemur. A very large and unfriendly lemur. <g>
19 May 2001	Puck	Loading... Yes!
4 Jun 2001	female fred <re	Loading... its not a lemur! its a....um.....wolfy thing! thats right, a big unfriendly wolf with big yellow eyes
5 Jun 2001	Silver Wolf	Loading... It definately looks Lupine, and...ahem...I would know. I really shouldn't get into that here though ;-) Definately a great pic, gives me inspiration. Gosh darn it, I need a freaken scanner!!!
5 Jun 2001	Halah 'Nataruma' Al-Gharabally	Loading... What I like in this one is the lighting. The dashes of lighter grays and whites and where you've placed them hint at a full moon, or possibly the twinkle of stars. The pose sends chills down my spine... gets spooked and has to make sure there're no ooglies under her bed now.
7 Jun 2001	Danielle Williams	Loading... Ooh! I love backlighted pictures. ... Ah, always good to leave something to the imagination -- especially when that THING is EEEEE-viiille! }8D Muhuha!
