"Axiluvia Zendras" by Carol ´Talfryn Calhoun´ Gravley

to the comment above, that's not Quenyan.....

to the artist, AWEOMSE! w00t for Furc!!

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "YESH! w00t for Furc! Heh. I need to play it more. Stupid laptop video card doesn't like it, though...x.x"

I think you've captured an essence of a pressence it is an honor to be in. That's the feeling i get from this, that she's not just some magic wielder but someone who is honor bound to bring a kind of spritual energising, not a persuading but a kind of world healing, to the lives affected by eveything she sees and thouches and does.

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "Wow... I'm not deserving of such beautiful words! ^_^;; Thank you very, very much..."

Response to Skypants: Eh, that is NOT Quenya... Quenya is much more flowing and beautiful. Those runes made me think of Tolkien's Dwarf runes first... e-mail me for Quenya fonts, which I will not begin the pretense of creating them. The Quenya language is the Elvish-Latin... the old Elvish language, mainly spoken only by the High Elves. (Or so said... did that refer to the creators of the Simarils? The Noldor, I mean. The ones that became the Exiles. The divisions to choose from I can remember off the top of my head are: Silvan, the Wood-elves; the Sindar, the Grey Elves; the Noldor, the Deep-elves; the Vanyar, the Light-elves; and the Laiquendi, the Green-elves of Ossiriand.)The Silvan and Sindarin language branched off Quenya. Sorry about the Elf rant, I'm learning Quenya myself! ^^! I wish I was an Elf. XP

The picture itself is a beautiful thing... and about the arm behind her back, though often considered lazy when drawn like that, people actually do place their hands there! The sunrise is wonderful, like an oil painting... or like chalk pastels. I've been meaning to switch my antro drawing style to how you've drawn the legs for the longest time... but I'm far too lazy (and prideful!) to change it like people have been telling me to. May I suggest that you make her head a little bigger, or maybe her eyes or ears. Maybe it's just me. Unless, of course, it is a picture where you are looking up slightly at her, like I thought when I saw the thumbnail.

This almost makes me want to go back to Furcadia. I uninstalled it when my sister got assaulted on it. (You know what I mean >.<

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "*blinks at all the Tolkien stuff she doesn't quiiite know a lot about* Eh heh heh...^_^;;As far as the picture goes, I unfortunately can't change any of the proportions anymore...x.X Eh heh heh. This creature is almost a year old...o.o;; That's freakish to me. Anyway, off the tangent. ^_^;;As far as Furcadia is concerned, I never had an experience like your sister did, although I do know of their existence. You just have to figure out where to go and how to get people to leave you alone... Or of someone bothers you, go to another map or block them, simple as that. Heh. Or log off. Ahhh well..."

Wow, this is great, and nice futhark runes on the robe, nicely done, and the background is great

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "Thank you about the runes! It was...just a trick with fonts and shading. The shading creates the illusion that the runes are actually bending with the folds of her dress, but if you look closer, they aren't. ^_^;; Aheheh.. Thanks about the background as well! It was quite fun to do. n.n"

Very attractive.

I love the lighting on this!! ^.^ Also, superb job on the background. The fur is quite realistic, too. I appreciate that. ^.^ Wonderful colors, too.

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "Thank you much! The lighting on this newer version is quite improved from the original one I did...>.>"

I love the way you draw their feet... Its soo cute!

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "*laughs* Thankfully I think I've gotten even better at paws....^_^;;;;"

Well, I am surprised that you bothered to touch this up. I still really like the picture, though. I think its wonderful, and the dress and hair is JUST how I envisioned it. I would love to have you draw some other characters of mine, but I am kind of out of money at the moment, heh. I still play furcadia if anyone else wants to draw Axi (for free, eheh.)

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "*laughs* There are just some things that I need to fix sometimes...>.> But I had lost your email, so I wasn't able to tell you that I had redone it. ^_^;;"

Meeeeeeeeep! I like the purple fire on the big stick...*stares*
*tries to touch*
*can't*
NEEEEEEEH! *pouts*
Bubye!

Carol 'Talfryn Calhoun' Gravley replies: "My, you're a silly one...o.o"

Awesome!
