SciFi and Fantasy Art Lonely Butterfly by Joan Desiree Johnson


	Well...it's me. Me as a fae, but still me. This is often how I feel, and what I don't let others see. Am I crying? Maybe. What do you think? Handdrawn with a mechanical pencil and colored in MS Paint.

28 Aug 2002	Jared	Loading... Different style...Havent seen you do this before..Great work on the colour and mixing of the colours to add to the affect and attention ^_^ Good work
28 Aug 2002	Eve	Loading... Its interesting! Has nice flow to it, but it seems oddly familiar, maybe just something that sticks with you, hm? ^_^ Votes BACKGROUND! The white behind it is too absorbing for mine eyes!
6 Sep 2002	Rob!	Loading... It's purple and naked! You get my oh so obvious comments, since you made me leave one here, hehe Joan Desiree Johnson replies: "snickers Thank you Captian Obvious"
8 Sep 2002	Whitney 'Jadis' Fish	Loading... Hello! Thanks for your comment in my gallery! This is my favorite of yours! Its lovely. Her legs sould be just a tad closer together. The wings are beautiful though. Keep it up!
29 Sep 2002	Rochelle Green	Loading... I'm not sure that her legs need to be closer together...Maybe just a line in between them to suggest the roundness of the thighs might work..
29 Sep 2002	Rochelle Green	Loading... Interesting choice of colours here. I like it, its not typical. I think the vibrant purple in the wings could possibly have swung the picture into a cheerful atmosphere, but that pale flesh-colouring is almost psychedelickly grim. Am I making sense? I dont think so I've been visiting some of the other artists on your list and leaving just as many inane comments there, so don't feel you are the only one being accosted by a weirdo
1 Nov 2002	Robbye 'Quelyntr WolfComet' Nicholson	Loading... MS PAINT!? ::dies:: This is wicked cool.... very solid coloring job. ^_^ Joan Desiree Johnson replies: "I'm still waiting to get Photoshop...sigh"
10 Dec 2002	Kris	Loading... I think that every girl your age feels this way sometimes. But then I am just a male chauvinist pig, what would I know...? At any rate, I love the picture for many, many reasons... I do agree with the person who said that the bright colors of the wings contrasting with the pale color of her flesh gives it a surreal quality. I think "psychadelicky" was the way he put it... Which "Photoshop" are you looking for? E-mail me and I will see what I can do... You DO still have my e-mail address, don't you...? -Kris Joan Desiree Johnson replies: "Well considering your email address is linked to your name when you comment...~_^"
5 May 2003	Karen L. Crumley	Loading... Neat. However, the body seems a little "flat." I would ad some shadow and light, to make it seem more 3-dimensional. It definitely is original, though, in concept and design. and the coloring of the wings are great. Joan Desiree Johnson replies: "It'd probably appeal less 2d if I darkened the background, and lost the lines around the body. The origional has tone and shading to it, unfortunately my scanner doesn't like to pick up subtle colors, like lavender. XP Glad you like the wings! I like them too. "
10 May 2003	Shadownova	Loading... Well done ^_^ I think you're napping though.. yeah.. definitely, definitely napping.
