SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Colette Shanley

Stupid art majors......oh wait... I'm one...^_^. GREAT WORK! mine's not as impressive. Keep up the work! Wish I had photoshop*grumbles* I like your work a lot... and... good luck on the chair....

Colette Shanley replies: "Thanx Ashley! I love your work as well! Very cute! It's great to see another LVA student on Elfwood. All the other art majors I told thought it sounded dumb! O well, their loss. Can't wait to see your chair!"

Hey!! (this is Beth if you don't know) You haven't even put most of your stuff up!! What about the stuff in your journal?!? That stuff's cool!! ^-^ I LOVE your art!! LVA is cool!! So is Lord of the Rings!!! and hobbits are better than elves!! ^-^

Colette Shanley replies: "Hey Beth! Whats up!? Your right, LOTR rocks! I'm actually planning to put some of my journal work up this Thanksgiving break! C ya!"

I've got sort of a weird question. There's a certain type of creature I have in my head and can describe perfectly, but I have no artistic talent and can't draw worth anything. Based on the pictures you have so far, you'd be good at it and probably would like drawing it too! Interested?

Colette Shanley replies: "Sure! But I can't gurantee it will be done right away...I gots lotza stuffs to do. But please tell me what you had in mind HERE on the COMMENTS SECTION. Thank you for not e-mailing me, and I will try to do this for you."

Beatifull work, I loved the centaur! Keep up the good work.

Colette Shanley replies: "Thank you very much! Your gallery is very beautiful too!"

The kind of creature I had in mind is like this: You pick an animal (I don't care which one, pick your favorite) and a human (again, it doesn't matter to me what you pick). You resize the animal so that their back is waist high to the human. Now for the messy part, you remove the head of the animal (but keep it handy, you'll need it later) and remove the human's head and everything below the waist. You attach the human's waist to the place where the animal's head was (if you chose a horse your creation would now look like a headless centaur) and attach the animal's head to where the human's head was. Now for the hard part, the human portion of the animal is covered with the same body covering (fur, feathers, or scales) that the animal was, with the same colors. Also the human hands are turned into a mixture of hands and whatever appendages the animal has. If your animal was a fish, for example, the human hands would be webbed.
I don't care how long it takes for you to draw it. All I'd like is a drawing better than I can make (not a very hard thing to do!)

Colette Shanley replies: "  WOW! That's an interesting creation! I really like the fish idea ( i love mers!) I will definatly try to do this, hopefully over Christmas break. I will post it here on Elfwood when it is finished. I love a challenge, so check back after Christmas, and it might just be here. ( you can use this for personal...uses, but just don't claim it as your own art."

Oh, that's okay. I know what being busy is like! If you do find the time, please email me because I won't have the time to check here. Thanks anyway!

Colette Shanley replies: "PHEW! Thank you soooooooo much for understanding, I will try to find the time, but I might not find it. I'm still verrrry sorry!"

H´LO! Well i would like to say that i juet luv your pic´s!!!! especially the ones with dragons...cool!!!

Colette Shanley replies: "Thank you! I looove dragons!"

Hey, just wanted to say, Gorgeous gallery!

You have a lot of potential. I hope that some cad doesn't turn you off from your work. Keep your head up and keep on working no matter what. Now, lets see some new work, eh?
