Tag As FavoriteComment

Fire stands in a pillar of flame, framed by an arch of the Celestial Temple, where all knowledge is held for those who become enlightened enough to seek it through Astral Travel...

Fire was inspired by a friend and neighbor, Torri Hansen. She was looking for a male avatar for the element of fire for her home. She wanted to have 2 male and 2 female avatars to mark the elements, in order to maintain a balance. Once I finished Fire, and I knew that I would go on to do Earth as well, I decided a series was in the works! This Elemental is standing in the Celestial Temple, which drifts somewhere in Astral Space for the truest seekers of knowledge to find. Within the hallowed walls of the Temple, all manner of knowledge and wisdom may be found... by those who look with their heart, their mind, and their spirit.

Really great work with the flames, though when they hit that whateverobjectitis they look a bit funny. (I'm saying that just because I can't find anything else wrong in this one... XD)
Again, the colors are really great and strong. The flames look like they really are burning. That man looks really cool (or, should I say; hot?), the pose is great!

Wow the colors on the pillars show the reflective light of the fire. Nicely done as is all your pictures!

You are truly a beautiful drawer. I love all of your pictures.

:-) Christopher Christian replies: "Thank you so much! ANd to the previous comments... I know what you mean about the flames... lol... I like the way the coloring of them turned out, but their flow isn't as natural as I would have liked. I'm thinking I may eventually do watercolor versions of these pieces after I finish the series... and if so, I hope to correct the flames on this one 2"

This is my favorite from your "Elements" pieces. Your subject material really fits the element, or should I say: He really embodies the element of fire! Rock on man!

This is my favorite element. Nice work on light and shadow. You really captured the Greatness of this character. You are really talented!
