SciFi and Fantasy Art The Avariel Queen by Matthew Goodmanson


	Just a quick charater sketch in ink that I especially liked. I'm pleased with the costuming. I did this at a library, so I thougt I'd do a little research for the outfit. I think it worked out.

22 Apr 2001	Jessica 'Mizzer' Krenesky	Loading... OoOOooo.. I love Avariels. =D I have several Avariel characters.. ^__^ I love the wings. I can't draw wings for the life of me. And the costuming is beautiful! Great job.I'm all up for winged elves! Heh! Thanks for the comments!
26 Apr 2001	Tanya Dubrovsky	Loading... The whole thing works. She kind of reminds me of Anjelica Huston, whom I dig, so that is good too. The only thing I'd say (brace yourself) is that she could use a background. The thick lines make her stick out a lot, and furthermore, I know you can do a rockin' background if you really want to. Background shmackground! Hee, actually your comment kinda inspired me ta do one! Stay tuned for more!
30 Apr 2001	Tanya Dubrovsky	Loading... nods in agreement with Kerry Besides, drawing a background is a pain. I like her the way she is. Just tossing out suggestions, s'all. No problem!
30 Apr 2001	Kerry	Loading... This one always reminds me of your Mom, for some reason -- I know she really liked it, I guess. I think I liked it more before it was inked, but it's still wonderful -- great costume work! In response to the previous comment, I like this piece just as it is, sans background...It's very much a character study, I think, and so a background might be inappropriate (No offense, Tanya!) But it would be cool to see another picure of her in action with a background someday...Backgrounds are a pain. Maybe in another piece with her in it. Good idea!
3 May 2001	Brian Keith Cooke	Loading... Excellent detail, and good costume design. Very well done.Thanks Brian!
10 May 2001	Don Belgurdo Diablo	Loading... Nice wings. Why does she remind me of a Buck Rogers character (y'know, those scary, evil Chin...er, Mongos)?
28 May 2002	Responder dude	Loading... she is the "INCREDIBLE GIRAFFE LADY!"
26 Feb 2004	Sarah M Laurenne	Loading... this one is very cool yes, I like the costume design. research always pays off
1 Sep 2005	Launa the elf	Loading... hi, i play a larp called epoch toronto. and my character has evolved in the last two in a half years. i went looking for a pic to use in my blog where i post semi-anonymously using her name. its something i just started looking into today, and if a pic is worth a thousand words, this pic is the PERFECT pic for her ancestor. Amlaruil (recognize the name? i did that on purpose). her history has an epic spin to it, so that when people hear names that are not-quite-so-obvious in pop culture. and written so that people who think about it can easily grasp the epic scope. gj
18 Oct 2005	Ron	Loading... First off...I want to say I hate you...your pictures are always fantastic and this just proves that you have skill...first with the evil horned seductive woman's horns and now with the queens wings...(Didn't mean to rhyme there)....the picture is very neat (for lack of a better word) and the costume is...well awesome...the neck could stand to be a little shorter, and I know you can do a background..but other than that this picture is another example of why I hate you... ^_^ Your an extremely talented artist...please keep it up...for fear, if you don't, I shall lose the work I must aspire to..
