Somebody requested a half-elf female warrior with these runed swords called katanas (not sure what those are but I am getting vauge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flashbacks here) in a fighting stance. Since I'm unsure about what the swords are like I'm having a hard time deciding a pose - this one however is the one that I think I'm gonna go with. Now all I have to do is find the description so I can draw the real one.

Katanas are pink, honey-made, Basketball-playing bunnies.
Me thinks that they come in other variations as well.
I once saw a picture of one that was actually scuba diving.
I can't actualy imagine your character holding 2 of them at the same time 'cause they are quite heavy. (((( Your art rocks))) It must be 'couse they eat allot of hairy-faeries.
My mamy says that they are dangerous to look at becouse then you will have to feed them for ever. I ment feeding the hairy-faeries. Or was it the other way around me wanders? Anyway I once ...........flying on red beatles.....................Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love it when everybody is trying to give you advise. I hope i was helpfull......Best of luckinesses i wishes my preciousssssssss.


The worst Vice is Advice.

I love how you use texture in your work, it looks so alive I want to poke it...now everyone's looking at me funny because I'm poking a computer screen. Argh you can't win.

I guess you really can't win. ^_~"

Your work is so beautiful!!!
But...is it me or something with her hands, as she holding the swords???
But never mind, I have to admit that your paintings are owesome and that some of them even inspired me for the new ideas!!! Good luck and go on! Hope to see more! 12

:-) Annika Freyah Nilsen replies: "Lovely to spread some inspiration around! ^_^Though your probably right about the hands, angeling joints in wrists and ankles is a constant bane for me, hehe. "

Ok. I peruse elfwood from time to time just for kicks so im no member or anything. However, I lived in japan for eleven years of my life and collect medieval weaponry for a hobby so if you ever need advice on what the heck what swords are what, just email me. But the one other suggestion is to go with the guy who suggested changing the name and avoiding the hassle of nit-pickers. Great picture otherwise. Im partial to full color so to make me like a picture this much is an accomplishment. Props.

2 Annika Freyah Nilsen replies: "Caved in and changed the title, hahaha.I don't frigging cara about katanas or how they look, swords are just sharp bits of metal that you poke into other people as far as I'm concerned. ^_^"

:-) Annika Freyah Nilsen replies: "Thanks, tho I _did_ change the title, just too much hassle explaining that this was drawn ages ago and I have no real intrest in the exact art of sharp pointy bits of metal anyway, hahaha."
