SF&F Picture 9 out of 90 by Natalia Nikitin.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Awakening

'O Master that lovest all men, will not this couch be my grave? Or wilt thou again enlighten my condemned soul with the day? Behold, the grave lieth before me; behold death standeth before me. Thy Judgement, O Lord, I fear, and the undending torments, yet I cease not from doing evil. ...'

Words of an ancient prayer.

Man, I love that angel... the expression is awesome, like she came to collect the woman's soul, but sees it's not worthy and knows she can do nothing to help... Wow, how did you know that?! From what you see in the picture I'd say the outcome isn't 100% certain, but you're right - for the soul, it's not looking good.
11 Mar 2004	White angel	Loading... ..I agree! This is beautiful and great and wonderful and and umm... Well anyways.. People here are crazy... They comment more to even uglier pics, but no masterpieces like this one... Strange.... Well, I woudn't call this a masterpiece, but I'm glad you like it!
11 Mar 2004	Tsuki-Hime	Loading... WHAT???? no comments.... are all the viewers at Elfwood nuts? >does first comment groove< i like this picture... it isnt my favourite of yours... but its a good picture... i like how you work from the text and add your imagination to the work... all in all, its a very good picture... keep up the great work Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you very much for commenting! "
4 Apr 2004	Light_of_laurelin	Loading... This is really good. I love the line of fire down the evil thing's back. And I agree with White Angel; the expressions are great. The soul looks quite apprehensive (as anyone would be, I suppose). I'm being honest when I say you are one of my favorite artists at elfwood, (I only have about four or five) partially because of your great Tolkien-inspired pics, but also because of your wonderful composition and style. Keep up the good work! bows Thank you! My work does not deserve such praise, but I'm happy that you find something in it to your liking.
28 Apr 2004	Christina D. Folkers	Loading... I like the way he gets out of his body - and the opposition of the bright angel to the right and the dark devilish something to the left... Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you!"
12 May 2004	Empress~Of~Roses	Loading... I'd just like to say that I am a fan of your angel wings, I love the cutting sharpness of the evil side and the soft mellow tones on the good side.Thanks! I suppose you have to do your best to reflect the character in the outward appearence.
25 Apr 2007	Kristin A. Erickson	Loading... Wow, what a wonderful depiction of death. I especially love the lotus. I forgot the names of those parts in your body. Beautiful work! Natalia Nikitin replies: "Thank you. Though I'm not sure what you mean by 'lotus'. X)"
4 Dec 2007	Joelle Duran	Loading... Intriging--a real medieval feeling to this piece. Great (if unnerving) touch with the scales under the bed.
19 Jan 2008	Poppyseed	Loading... i was thinking this picture was kind of...weird, but now i get it! she died! oh, no! go with the angel!!!!..... Natalia Nikitin replies: "She has to be able to see the angel before she could follow him.. but can she?"
