"Rose Garden" by Cynthia Lane Armstrong

I certainly hope this image has made a lot of people stop to think. Anywho, fantastic piece. I feel like I'm repeating myself on so many of your images, but you always have excellent shading and attention to details. You do a fantastic job at drawing the musculature and making your images look closer to that of photographs. That is my favorite part of your images, that they almost look real. Great job.

I have almost the exact same nose...

So beautifully romantic...I love the way you give your elves huge ears, unlike the pale fake little ones that most people edo.

This is the best work of art I'v seen all day, and I was all over Elfwood, so thats saying a lot

I guess the best thing about your work is that you don't shy away from the controversial.

I like this, the two figures are superb, I have only one thing to make light of on them. Human faces do not have lines, they may have shadows, but they're are not lines surrounding ones face.(constructive critisem). I can tell that you want the viewer to look at the figures in front rather than the background, because of your lack of detail in the roses. But you can have detail in the background, so you draw the viewers eye around the whole picture plain, rather than just having them focus on one spot.You drew those roses for a purpose didn't you? You are a very talented individual, keep up the superb work( i look forward to it). I am an artist not unlike yourself, so I know my critisem will not be welcome, but I'm sure the next time you draw a picture, you will think of my comments. That is the whole point.I hope you keep growing as an artist all the days of your life......

This picture is so tender and touching,that it doesn't matter that they are both male. It brings a tear to this ol' mans eye.
A truely magnificent piece of art.

I <3 this. If you make a book about Celebel and Jax let me know, because I would love to read it ^_^

I’ve bookmarked your profile if for nothing else to see these sorts of works. So tender, so powerful, so captivating. And your comment, SUPERB!
The battles the haters are trying to begin/continue is best left for them to fight amongst themselves. Let them seek an enemy while we laugh and love with friends. If your god hates so needlessly, then clearly your god is flawed. Ours seems to love everyone the same.
This piece is so beautiful! Please keep them coming, I’ll be watching and waiting for more masterpieces!
