"Harpy" by Anne-Marie C. Eriksson

SF&F Picture 9 out of 29 by Anne-Marie C. Eriksson

SciFi and Fantasy Art Harpy by Anne-Marie C. Eriksson

She's a real hag, isn't she? Full version here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/7281191/ This is a photomanip because it is painted over a photograph. So that's *mostly* my face you can still see there, but ze boobs & nipples are NOT ME. (or anyone else, for that matter. They're completely imaginary.) The influence of mushrooms and moss add texture. It was done looking at an old sketch from a few years back, the 'Harpy Hag'. http://www.parnanen.net/~annmi/digital/flyingfolk/harpy.html

18 May 2004	Kaykamisch	Loading... The texture worked wonderfully, great idea. Cool feet, they look so real. I've always found bird feet to be a real pain in the arse, like old lady hands, but you seem to be pretty darn good at it The only thing is, she doesn't look like any sort of hag, and definitely not scary...maybe you should use my great grandmother's pic. No offense against my late Nana, but by the time I knew her she looked pretty haggard and hollow (WWII did that to people I guess). Lovely pic though, she's a pretty harpy ~Kay
27 Jun 2004	Ailia Athena <ailiathena@yah...com>	Loading... Hi, I love this piece. Adore. I'd really like to put it on my website, www.paleothea.com. Please let me know if this is (or isn't) okay. Really outstanding. And I have to disagree with Kay, I think she is terrifying. Not to insult the artist's visage, but the grin is almost manic. Although she is beautiful, that certainly doesn't mean she's not dangerous. In my eyes, anyway. Again, fabulous job.
