Ok, so my French might be a little dodgy, but, whatever. This picture took about a year from start to completion, and I'm *really* proud of it.

Ink on computer paper, ruined with colored pencils and miraculously fixed in Photoshop.

November 2002-October 2003

Beautifull lineart. Love that tail and the compostition. Also the contrast between the thickness of the lines is very good.... only thing the right hand seems a bit strange but other than that you leave me in awe. Great picture even without color (maybe it's even better without)

Your work is Brilliant. Your eye for composition is incredible. Your ability to Layout a page is impeccable. Your line work is fantastic. Your borders are amazing. Your posture choices are astounding. You're so dang good that I've run out of adjectives. I'll just sit here and drool for a little while... nobody pay any attention to the slobbering guy in the corner.

I can assure you that there's no error in your title!

Wow!!!! Magnifique! I usually don't like art nouveau(french again, hé hé) but this has something more...subtle...congrats on mods choice for the color version!

wow! it's so pretty! love the composition. I love art nouveau, so i liek it when other ppl do work inspired by it, makes me feel like i'm not alone. beautiful.

:-) Lisa Ann (Jae) Andresen replies: "I discovered Art Noveau here in the woods, and I'm constanly inspired by other artist's who return to this smae amazing art form for inspiration. A lot of original Art Noveau peieves were fantasy-inspired to begin with, and I think the style just really lends itself to fairies and mermaids in the like. I'm glad you like it."

I envy the artists that created these pictures.

This is beautiful! I wish I could ink as cleanly. I bet it would look great coloured in photoshop!
