Two gypsy women from a Ravenloft-type setting, done for Andre Weisler and Elek-Mantow. Mother Camilla and her grandaughter, Emelda. This one gave me fits. They refused to be drawn. It took me over two weeks to get anything at all on paper that I was happy with. But they are finished now. And ready to take your coin ;)

Hey, I adore the picture. Only thing that kinda bothers me is her skirt. I dunno, I just see her in a long skirt. That may be just me. Love them though. It's still stunningThanks. I still like the shorter skirt, though. I don't think a longer one would have fit with her ensemble...

To be wuite honest I don't really like it. I think it is because I find it hard to feel a connection with the picture, it is not one with personality, it is simply a blunt boring picture. If I were you I would try to incorperate some emotion.Possibly, possibly...I wasn't really going for any emotion here, although I can see where it's lack might bother some people. Not everyone likes every piece of art they see.

I love how alive this scene is. There is a story in the making here.It was actually done for a German role-playing website. I don't know the story behind these two, but I know there is one. The author and I disagreed a bit about this pic, and I haven't heard from him since. 8

OOH! That's one hip granny!LOL! I love all of this! And yes gypsies often wore heels if anything for their feet at all. ~Grins~ I wish I could be an elfwood member!Get some art together and apply. If they let me in, they'll let anybody in 12

I love it!! please don't give he heels, it's just right. And her legs don't need to be longer either, us gypsies are pretty short. I love the granma, this is a great pic!!! YAY! ^_^ go you!Little late to change anything in this pic, so any additions would need to be in the next version anyway. I think the background suffered a bit, but the figures turned out ok. Thanks for stopping by.

I love it its good it reminds me of my gypsy life on the roadThe life of a wandering gypsy...sounds inconvenient to us lazy types 12

I think your picture is very intriguing it fits this site well done. Oh and I think your both very lovly except the younger one needs more clothes on its not fitting it dosnt seem right she looks like shes trying to impress men instead of telling fotunes. I like the older gypesy though I think shes so cute 14Thanks. The younger one is more of a dancer at the moment, the older one does the fortune-telling.
