Tag As FavoriteComment		Look a background! Look blood! Two things I don't normally do. I had a friend say I needed to do something with blood/gore/battle. So I took up the idea. This is a scene from my slowly developing story. Left to right: Malory, two male-Kin-type creatures, Demos, Mia. This is where Malory has sided with the Blood Mage and is using her fire magic (and minions) to set a trap for her new enemies. Unfortunetly for her, Demos quickly uses his nature/earth based magic to stop that trap. This is also where Mia fully realizes that Malory (her best friend) has gone with Dederick to work for the Blood Mage. So imagine emotional trauma about to happen. This took a butt-load of time. I starred at those trees forever trying to figure out how to go about coloring them without them turning out cheesie. 9-29-2003

Well, I think it's more of an "I'm in the moment" rather than happiness ^_^ look. Besides, I haven't crossed that line yet, have I? But it is a great piece and definately deserves Mod's Choice! Just ignore Trey, he's too busy sucking elves 10

Yay! Blood and Gore...my favorite things. I don't think the trees look cheesy at all. They look very nice. *does teacher like smile and nod*

:-) Samantha J. Nowak replies: "hehe, once I scanned in this picture and was looking at it, I was like "wow, those trees actually look pretty cool! Go me!" Thanks for you comments, and your approval. ^_~"

SAM!!!! This is awesome! Congrats on Mod's Choice, and YAY! YOU UPDATED! YAY! *dances around* 1

Sweet picture. I love the expression on Sam's face. Joe's lookin a little happy but whatever. I esp like the flames around Ash. Yay fire. Great picture overall.

13 Samantha J. Nowak replies: "Thankies! Yeah, Joe does look a bit happy considering his killing someone with wood. I'm glad the flames turned out so well too (another "plz don't turn out cheesy" worry of the pic)"

Wait just a minute here... I love that I got the gift of fire magic cause fire kicks butt. However, WHY am I on the dark side?? I'm lacking updates in the story so I am a tad bit shocked to find myself with the evil guy's side(even though I love Dederick). Can I please PLEASE read and update myself soon??

7 Samantha J. Nowak replies: "Don't worry. It's all part of the story plan, spice things up a bit. I'll send you the story (as of now) to let you get updated."

Hmmm somehow I feel compelled to comment on this a third time.. ;-) Can't get over the pic, I loves it, precioussss... 1 You should do more battle pics from your story.. maybe some mage duels... tho in your story I'm just a white mage.. no battles for me, I guess, sigh.. ;-)or I don't know... a certain winged hottie doin stuff with those wicked claws you gave him... O1 Hehe this pic didn't get nearly enough comments even tho it possesses sheer KEWLNESS and it DID get Mod's Choice after all... I'm rambling but I bet you don't mind. 1 Toodle~pip, Sami-Chan!

:-) Samantha J. Nowak replies: "lol Well I'll take it as a major compliment to get you to comment on it three times! I did enjoy doing this battle pic, so *maybe* there will be others like it. As soon as I get everything else done in my life. ^_~ Sarah-chan's so awesome!"

I love the one in the red cape. I love her body position and hair. The whole piece is very dynamic and beautiful, in a destruction and death sort of way. Keep it up!

I love the composition & the coloration. You're after my own heart the way you do yer art! Keep it up!

Don go for battle and fights much
but i like this one , slightly comical and
the style and colouring
and the outfits are kind of modern and medieve
i like malory's dungaree look
and that guy who looks like he's jus bin launched
super
great illustration
