Lovely pictures! I like the poses, the emotion and your sensitive pencil shading.

Kristen Kelly Ostermann replies: "Thank-you for your kind comment, I wonder why there are no comments on this main page? They are all on the drawings themselves. Tell me, is there something I could do to impove this page, why is my fantasy art so much more popular, any suggestions for themes, drawing people want to see?"

*blinks* I want a rurouni ... *grabs Kenshin and runs off happily, until such time Kaouru whacks my head for it* Hey, these drawings, I really like them. The shading and forms are pretty amazing, and, it's KENSHIN! *hops up and down*

Only thing is that I think (as someone already mentioned) that you should look up on the size of the characters. Kenshin and Kaouru are at best even-heighted, perhaps Kenshin even a bit shorter! He's ... very short. I was looking at an episode with him and DA MAN (*grins* falling into my buddy Julian's mode of speech when it comes to this fellow here!), Saito Hajime, and oh Light, Kenshin is so short. Heh.

Anyway, keep up the work. I like how you've progressed; don't stop!

She who comments on the main page

Whoa. Only two comments on your main page........? Anyway I love your art, it's so simple yet striking, and I love the pencil. Never feel like you HAVE to do color because your pencil work is wonderful in itself. I adore the Kenshin and Kaoru pics....Great job.

you drew these? you rock! Try and draw one of shishio fighting Kenshin or one of Soujiro next. Good luck!
