This is great she looks beautiful,strong and proud. Her wings are beautiful and I love the colors.^^

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "Yay! The Sphynx finally got a comment! Thank you!"

I love how you take traditional stereotypes of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality, and turn them upside-down and inside-out. What a powerful figure!

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "Hey- I will have to plagiarize this comment for my artist's statement! Thank you!"

Wow, this is a perfect rendition of the sphynx. It captures her spirit in an awesome way. No dainty, wind would blow me over, women on your site!!

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "Thank you. She's the "What rough beast" style of sphynx."

She is utterly beautiful. ^_^ she really reminds me of the spinx off of voyage of the unicorn ^_^ I love your work, your anatomy is better than most ppl who draw tiny little people(who are easy to draw) I just love all of it

I love how her piercing gaze hints at intelligence. I also really like her pose, like a big cat on the verge of pouncing. Beautiful work. Since you seem to dig women, wings, and mythology have you considered doing a harpy? I figure that would be right up your alley.

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "Actually it has been years since I drew a harpie. That's a good suggestion, thank you!"

Dude! I finally found it!... Ahem, let me explain. A year ago, I joined elfwood, after seeing some of the awesome stuff they had on here. Shortly before, the posed struck by your sphynx inspired my own, and I posted it on my gallery when I uploaded.

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "I would love to link that drawing to yours, so everyone can A) appreciate yours, and 7 know where I got it from. Unfortunately, my HTMLese is underdeveloped, so if U could help me with that, I'd appreciate it. Just know, though, that mine is not up to par with yours. For one thing, mine is cute and dainty, and would surely lose in a fight with yours. Ciao!Hey, thanks! Nice description of this one attached to your other sphinx as well. You've got some nice pictures over there, too.
As for htmlese: type the following, replacing the parentheses with these: "

hey...i love your style...really beautiful detail and everything..but hey (NO OFFENCE!! JUST A QUESTION!!) what's with you and nudity? and muscular women? almost all your photos have nudity and naked women....

:-) Jedediah Dougherty replies: "None taken!And as for what is with me, it's just a kink I guess. I've always been interested in muscular bodies, and when I hit adolescence I glommed that onto my newfound interest in naked ladies. I don't think there is anything more to it than that."
