SciFi and Fantasy Art by the river bank by Christiaan, A.Iken

this is not another snow pic, its just the basic under painting to a new pic im doing, i dont have alot of time to work on it everyday since im helping my parents move in to a new flat, but hopefully ill get a hour or two everday to work on it, its basically a childrens illustration, something i realyl want to go into, i hope to upload the differnt stages till the final one, if anyones interested. okay this is one days work, ive figured out the sky and the foreground to the right, now all i have to do on the background is the left hand side of the foregrond and the water and refelctions and waterlilies. second day ive finished the background and now the foreground characters need to be added. well its finished, i think this is my second kids painting, the first being peacock king, due to the bright colours, lack of violence and funny looking characters. i really enjoyed painitng this type of picture.

18 May 2002	Fatma	Loading... Actually I think this picture is just as brilliant as the other ones. Just because it doesn't have violence or that other stuff doesn't make it a 'child's pic. It just means its of a softer nature. Anyway child art is just as professional as any other kind.
11 Jul 2002	Ayla <silvery_spider@hot	Loading... Well said Fatma!! Also, I'm writing a fantasy novel at the moment, and it turns out that one of my characters ride a very similar sort of creature, but the one I've created has MUCH longer legs than this. Yet, it's uncanny how much alike it is to how imagined it to be! I called it an Elgarith.
15 Jan 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Beautiful
25 Jan 2003	Dori Lightning Fist	Loading... Ummm...I thought Goblins rode Wargs, not Hobbits! Cool picture but a little weird!
15 Feb 2003	Shawna	Loading... Um- Dori? This isnt a LOTR pic. Thus that is not a Hobbit nor a warg (Am I getting this right? lol). Its a totally different theme and world. Anyways- very nice! I love the goat/dog/beast! I think its beucase I seem to draw odd animals like that all the time. Whoo! Go odd animals. Great job!
28 Feb 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Hey i like the picture....Nevermind everyone elses comments i think it's great.
7 Apr 2003	Ross	Loading... Its an elephagog elephant-goat-dog
25 Oct 2003	Amanda Celeste Fejes	Loading... Ah, you unenlightened ones!... I see only one thing that is even a little off with this picture: the goat-type thing's front legs are a little thin, for all of that weight. It looks to me like a pack animal- a go-anywhere creature willing (or sometimes unwilling) to carry quite a bit of weight, say, up a mountain adventuring. Not designed for looks. ^_^ Mind if I write a bit?... The setting is quite peaceful, one creature lounging in a hammock, another arriving after a long day of travelling. They greet each other, the traveller stops for a break... the resting creature lazily swings his foot, sending droplets flying over to the weary pair as the rider takes a long drink of the water... Well, too bad for those "inspiring programs"- I'm staying right in your gallery. =^_^= May even use a bit of this work in my book. (My writing, of course, and I'll credit you for the inspiration!) runs away singing, "I've finally found an artist who draws what appears in my mind!"
28 Apr 2004	Francesco Galle	Loading... oh this is great! Its so colorful and vibrant! Its also very original... like a self contained little world. I really like this!
4 Aug 2007	Wolfy	Loading... It's excellent in my opinion. the animal reminds me of that deer thing in Princess Mononoke. i like anything to do with nature&animals, so i say it's AWESOME!
