SciFi and Fantasy Art: Freawyn meets Tralfy

...and it is more sweet, when you listen "Something Stupid" from Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman, when you look at it. A really cute, but wonderful picture (sorry Tralfy for taking away the first comment!)

Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse replies: "Yes, and that was the song that was spinning around the whole time in my head when I did the picture!"

It happened again! Tralfy got here too late and he was on line much of the day-He even got an E-mail telling him it was finally up..and he responded the second he got the message, and was still not fast enough...*Waaaaaahh!* ..Maybe I should rev up Dr, Voraundu's Time machine and see if I can manage to change history a little....(Stopping Chixulub comes to mind often in time travel fantasies) Well, I really got the first comment because I was the first to see it on my birthday and could respond via E-Mail then..*Blows raspberries*...So I guess it doesn't really matter if i didn't get first comment on it here...And it IS a great looking work! Best yet depicting my own character!..=^-^=..

Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse replies: "Aw Tralfy dear... it really doesn`t matter weather you were the first one to comment or not. You did, that counts. And you liked it. That counts much more! Its never too late for compliments, I think... so thank you very much. "

Wow, the textures here are exquisite! You do fur and feathers so much better than I do! But that's okay. So many different textures, and they all work very well. Did this start as a hard copy sketch, or was it all done in a computer program? Anyhoo, I love the shine and flow of Freawyn's mane/hair, and the texture of Tralfy's forearm. The expressions are great, too, though I'd put the pupils of the eyes a bit farther forward so it looks more like they're looking straight at each other (hard to do with avian eyes, I know). In summary, an excellent effort.

Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse replies: "With the eyes, that would have been a great idea. They - that are us both, you know, Tralfaz and Freawyn.. Yes, I had a sketch as a scanand worked with it with Photoshop. Thats the usual way I do. The feather texture is made with the Photoshop tools mainly, as is the hair. The texture on Tralfy arm for example is a texture I had to load from a CD a friend gave to me once."

They are beautiful! Great job on colors and textures! As you told me, this is one of these "What if...?" pictures I am thinking about doing for Serren and Jairo. THis one's very inspiring!

Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse replies: "Really? Good then! I still love this one, I think its not easy to draw feelings in a gryphons face, but here it kind of came out as I wanted!"
