SciFi and Fantasy Art: Proginoskes

Proginoskes the Cherubim, from Madeline L'Engle's 'The Wind in the Door'. I read it in 5th grade, and took the description of such a creature as a personal challenge to illustrate it. Yes, he's a Cherubim, as in plural of cherub. He's also ... sort of ... a dragon, but only in that he has wings and puffs fire and smoke. Knows all the names of the stars, and is terribly smug about it.

22 Nov 2002	Star girl	Loading... I read the whole series in 4th grade. I"ve always thought of what it would look like. Great job!!
26 Mar 2003	Holly	Loading... Wow! I just finished reading the part about Proginoskes last night! This was great! But... weren't his wings white? Oh well. It still is great!!!
14 Jul 2003	Lisa Coleman	Loading... I love your picture, I think you did a great job blending pure digital with the photographic (or at least, what appears photographic) I found this picture when I was looking for pictures of Proginoskes, to see if Elfwood would accept him. Well, as it turns out, my version is apparently "too abstract". Sad, but at least we have yours here. Rachel Tamar Wohlstadter replies: " Thanks. ~_~ I hate to hear that they wouldn't accept your version . I think you can challenge the moderators if you want... The rules are rather fuzzy. I, for one, would love to see your version. "
7 Jun 2004	Buzzbuzz268	Loading... I didn't envision Progo anything like this but it's very beautiful!
19 Jul 2004	Pavia Rose burroughs	Loading... i love the different eyes and swirl of the feathers- makes Progo seem so cosmic. I never could really wrap my entire mind around what he looked like, but thisseems to fit very nicely. I'm surprised it didn't get a mod's choice, it has the clear, clean, nicely/brightly colored look they tend to like..o well, their choices so often seem to be picked out of a hat.
31 Oct 2004	Anonymous	Loading... I am amazed at how you can depict how proginoskes puffs smoke.i have recently tried to draw my own version of the cherubim but i cant draw it as well as you.
13 Apr 2005	KristenTheTotalL'EngleFanatic	Loading... I love her books! I almost like A WIND IN THE DOOR better than A WRINKLE IN TIME. Nice illustration. Not how I envisioned it but it is nice!
