Hi guys, I'm back after a year long hiatus! My name is Ashley Reneé Versaggi, and my alias is *Celesta*. I am a 21 year old Senior in University, and I'm going for a Chemistry major with a biochem track. I absolutely love college, and all the new friends I've met there. I love my friends! *hearts you all*
Here's a bit of Elfwood History for me: I've known of Elfwood for around seven years, and it was ultimately my friend Christiano who influenced me into getting a gallery. I'm glad I did, so I have him to thank! I've been drawing for as long as i can remember, and even my very early drawings were fantasy! (Unicorns and such hehe!) I love elves <^_^>, and unicorns, and anything fantasy.
Some of my favorite authors are as follows: J.R.R. Tolkien (of course!), Robert Jordan, Madeleine L'Engle, K.A. Applegate, J.K. Rowling (another 'of course!'), C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, Ann Rice, Terry Brooks and many more though i can't think of them at this particular moment!
Here are some of my friends and favorite of artists:
Christ 'the heretic' Bellotti, (who's a most wonderful artist and friend! I miss you Chris. I hope you're faring well, where ever you are)
Jennifer Devon Grageda (who helped me a bit in getting this gallery and deserves a big THANKS!)
Erin Cooper (who is a great person and i wish i got to talk to her more)
When I get un-lazy, I'll post more links to other artists whom I admire.
^_^ Also, please leave some comments, they would be greatly appreciated!
Update: July 23rd 2006: updated bio
I've been on a year long hiatus unfortunately. Life just has this way of getting IN the way, sadly, and unfortunately artists block is just as bad as writers block and very unfun. University takes up a lot of time, but art is my favorite hobby so I can't let it die, it would be like having a piece of myself die. It's in my blood. I have been slowly beginning to get into drawing again now that I have free time. So I can't promise anything, but I hope to update soon. =)
Update: 2006: updated bio, picture, and drawings: "Queen Jasmine",
Here are some new drawings for you all! I hope you enjoy! They are mainly illustrations or portraits from my working novel. =D
Update: Early 2007: updated drawings: "Arrianna's Anguish"
Update: July 2007: updated bio, pictures: "The Prince's Uncertainty" and "Arianna Second Portrait" (using my WaCom tablet and PS 7.0 more and more now!)

| 25 Jun 2006 | Tiggermyk | Loading...Okay, this may be a bit odd, but I just saw one of your comments on one of Jenny H. Park's pictures, the one of the "Rabbit Archer," and you wanted to know the name of his hat. If you haven't yet learned it, I believe it's a beret. (Pronounced "burr-A.") | |
| 26 Nov 2006 | Brett Cushing | Loading...Hey there Ashley, I just wanted to stop by and thank you for all the wonderful comments you left in my gallery. I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier, I'm incredibly busy lately and its made me rather slack in my responses. Your art is really beautiful, I trawled your whole gallery. You have an incredible skill for equine anatomy, I'm totally blown away by your ability to draw and shade musculature. Keep up the awesome work, you have a ton of talent (I mean it) Ashley Reneé Versaggi replies: "Thanks Brett for the support and comment! I hope you come back soon." | |
| 24 May 2007 | Claudia Wijnants | Loading...Hi Ashley, thanks for the comments on my gallery. The horses that you draw are VERY pretty! You did the shading very well. So keep it up  Ashley Reneé Versaggi replies: "Thanks for the compliments!! Come back any time. " | |
