| 5 Dec 2005 |  Mattie K. Squire |  Loading...I really like the style you use! This is an interesting character, and I love the color scheme, keep up the good work!  Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Thanks for your comment. Tried to make the color scheme harmonize with the character and give the image an overall feeling of tranquillity and peace. " | |
| 6 Dec 2005 |  Fey'Avocet | Loading... Very interestingly done. Excellent job on the wings - I like the way they look butterfly-like, but don't appear to be actually copied from any butterfly (at least, none that I know). The color selection is absolutely gorgeous, and an excellent choice for this piece. Thank you for sharing your art! Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Tthese are wings I just imagined. (Haven't seen them either on any butterfly that I can think of). Glad you like the color scheme. " | |
| 6 Dec 2005 |  Emily McDonald | Loading... I think that's what I like about a winter landscape; the muted earth tones are not too warm at all and take on a very chilly feel with the cool blues and whites. Very frigid and beautiful. And so serene! I wouldn't worry about the details if I were you; they are beautiful and suggest the subtle haze that hangs in the air on a winter day. Excellent job. Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Thanks for your thoughtful analysis and poetic description of this piece. I'll try to worry a little less about the details." | |
| 6 Dec 2005 |  Simi Landau *Muffin Queen* | Loading... Pretty! I can't believe that you've done this in Illustrator, close up it looks like watercolors! I particularly like the color scheme and that it's a transition, rather than just one season. Congrats on Mod's Choice! Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Thank you. Watercolor used to be my favorite medium, so maybe it's still influencing my choice of colors." | |
| 6 Dec 2005 | Marty Martin | Loading... Your stylizations are amazing - have never seen anything quite like them. I know nothing about "Illustrator" or "gradients" or anything but hand-done work, but feel that you are in total control of these tools. My only (constructive) criticism is that your figures are wonderful from the waist UP, (including elongated necks), but too short or squatty from the waist down. The lower legs bother me most. Please look at some of the Lladro figurines which have such proportions. This is a GENERAL suggestion for all your work, and not just the one above). Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Thanks for commenting and for pointing out some things that need attention. I looked at the Lladro figurines on the internet. I really like them. They have such a beautiful, simple style. " | |
| 6 Dec 2005 |  Constanza Ehrenhaus | Loading... Oh, wow! It's you again! I always feel attracted to your pics, they are so unique! Caisa M. Howerin replies: "Yes, it is. Thanks." | |
| 7 Dec 2005 |  Amy ´Insom´ Downum | Loading... For some reason...maybe it's the style of colouring, or the clothes you put on her...something makes me think it's Russian. But whatever it is or was intended to be, it's beautiful. The stlye is very unique and I agree with an earlier comment, it really does hold your eye captive. | |
| 7 Dec 2005 | Anonymous | Loading... It almost reminds me of those paint by number kits... This is extremely beautiful...Well done | |
| 7 Dec 2005 | Anonymous | Loading... Did you base the pose on traditional art of St. Michael? Reminds me a lot of how he's depicted, holding his spear like that, the snake, representing the devil, underfoot. Caisa M. Howerin replies: "No, I did not base the pose on the traditional art of St. Michael, not that I'm aware of. The snake is often a symbol of evil in Christian art, in ancient Greece it was a symbol of wisdom and healing." | |
