SciFi and Fantasy Art Winter Nights by Diana M Chien

Watercolours on... um.. filter paper. (border added with Photoshop) Because I stole three pieces from somewhere and thought it would be fun to paint on. A little crude, but I'm still fairly happy with it. Except for the star, which I seem to have neglected with remarkable ickiness.

Feel free to insert some brittle prose here about she whose white flesh chills the stars and whose azure cloak swallows travelers on cruel nights and so forth. Sorry, not in the mood to be reverent right now. :D

16 Jun 2004	Cristina Diaz-Borda	Loading... This one's cool. Diana M Chien replies: "HAHA you made a pun. ....sorry. Too much ice cream, not enough sleep."
25 Jun 2004	E.M. Canada	Loading... Holy, it's stunning! Diana M Chien replies: "Meep, thank you! "
22 Aug 2004	Amanda Littler	Loading... Cool pic i love the way you have done it in a circle and the swirls and colours are cool and she looks really cool! Brill well done x Diana M Chien replies: "Yikes, I can't believe I've forgotten to reply to comments in so long! Sorry about that, and thank you for the comment. The pic is in a circle because I painted it on coffee-filter paper. XD But I'm glad you like the layout!"
6 Dec 2004	Jennifer Russo	Loading... Wow. This has such a wonderful, mystical feel to it. I love the relatively monochromatic style and the way it twists around like so--it makes it look a lot more feminine. Parts of it are a little sketchy and smudgy, like you were tryng to do details on too small an area. I don't know how big the original was, but try to work bigger! (= Keep up the wonderful work! Diana M Chien replies: "Hmm, that's an interesting concept, the circularness making it look more feminine. ponders Yes, this was a very small area- maybe 4 or 5 inches in diameter? (it's a coffee filter sheet!) -and I have a tendency of being kind of lazy when I don't feel like sketching out something before painting it. Thank you for the very nice comment!"
10 Jan 2005	Rian Sanderse	Loading... I love this, I love the way, the dress is also the background. The hair is nice and curly! Love Rian Diana M Chien replies: "I would have liked the background effect to come out better, actually, but I'm happy that you like it. Thank you!"
3 Feb 2005	Jessica 'Blue Thanatopsis' Stachyra	Loading... I love how it all kind of...flows together. Love the simple beauty of it! You did a wonderful job on this piece
11 Jul 2006	Apocalypse	Loading... first comment dance Why does every one forget?! If you want some kind of poem for this how about this: Nights of darkness so cruel Stars that struggle to bring light The black lady walks the roads Such a sinister sight! Horses shy Dogs bark and bite But nothing can harm her Such a sinister sight! But when dawn brakes She must retreat Back to her hollow Untill dusk she meets!
6 Oct 2006	Sarah Billings	Loading... (Is really Elfwood artist but cannot log on) You also paint on coffee filters?!?! I do too! Very nice, I go to coffee filters because I'm bored with regualr rectangular paper and can't do circular compositions worth crap without circular paper. Doesn't turn into a bunny because she needs hands to paint on filter paper Put a human emoticon because she is finally NOT turned into a rabbit at the end of a comment. Diana M Chien replies: "It was a one-time experiment, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of it. XD"
