SciFi and Fantasy Art Dyspnea and Quffill by Candice Dosela

Dyspnea is an Elf Princesses that gets out of scrapes with her good pal Quffill, the magical rodent perched on her shoulder.

Her father the Elf King commissioned me, the humblest human, to do her portrait. I must tell you she could hardly sit still while Quffill was content with watching his lovely mistress the whole time. I heard just recently that they accidentally freed the old Boggy Waters Hag from her tower prison. Too bad no one thought to warn the overly curious Dyspnea not to break the enchantment on that particular door. Fortunately, Dyspnea and Quffill worked together to ensnare the Hag back into her tower gaol before the Elf King heard of the mishap. I was delighted to paint her picture and am glad to bring a piece of the faerie world to you.

This is from a pen and ink sketch I did that I turned into a watercolour painting. 7 inches by 7 inches, watercolour, April 2008

27 Jun 2008	Alisha Brown	Loading... I love her. She is so smug! Her lips are just the perfect shape too! Candice Dosela replies: "Princesses usually are smug. I tried to give her proud posture as well. Thanks for the comments."

30 Sep 2008	Vilde D. Ulriksen	Loading... Quiffil is so cute!!! I want him!!! Very good portrait. Wonderful colours and designs!!! Was the elf king happy with it? He should be Candice Dosela replies: "The elf king is never quite satisfied. He accepted the painting with a grunt and no complaints so that was good enough. Quffill came out lovely enough that it makes me want to write a more complete story about him and his mistress. We’ll see. Thanks, Vilde, for the nice words."
