SciFi and Fantasy Art Ayumi Kawano by Jennifer ´Softpaw´ Simmons

Ayumi is a normal swan..who had a spell cast on her by the 'shining lady' and now can change her form..she can be a swan (from normal sized to large enough to ride on) a half swan half human form and a full human form (which can be seen here and anyone who knows who painted that..please tell me)

I tried to do her in the half human half swan form..and all I have to say now is....I HATE FEATHERS!..there..I feel better now..ANYWAYS...she can't wear clothing in this form due to her tail feathers and her arm/wings so I had to ..make the featers comver things..and it was not easy to get the angle and stuff..aslo..her body had a down like coating in this form..not sure if I showed that right with how pale I made her. but she's done..best I could do

oh and my scanner is acting up so that's what the funny streak on one side is :P

Very soft and detailed. The red ribbon is also a nice touch, righteo now off I go with Mervin in tow and together we shall eat jelly beans..darn..might have to go solo on that one..anyway, well done splendid work thumbs up
22 Jan 2001	Christopher Hunter Register	Loading... I can definately see why you hate feathers, but as it stands I'm still impressed with your ability to improvise on things what need to be done. Cya on IRC!
22 Jan 2001	Aladion	Loading... whistles Great job on Ayumi!! it's good to finally see a pic of her...
23 Jan 2001	Krista 'Q' Di Fulvio	Loading... Oh Jen, you silly silly Girl, You really want me to tell you what Drow thinks of this painting? what, are you trying to get me kicked from elfwood?G Well, _I_ Like it, beautiful feathers, I can never do soft feathers, I always do the jagged kind. Pose is beautiful too. and I'd be Darned if I knew how to make her skin look downy, but the paleness almost pulls it off. beautiful! <Drow> All I wanna say is whumph! <Q>covers Drow's Mouth with her hand Quite! Just-...dont say anything!
21 Apr 2001	Beej =Þ	Loading... I like her oriental hairdo; was the Eastern overtone intentional? That ribbon does provide a nice contrast. And yes, the feathers are very well-done! yes the oriental overtone was intentional, her orignal picture is of an elaboritly dressed orential woman, course now a days she goes baout in the outfit in the Drow and Ayu painting, much to Drow's enjoyment
24 Apr 2001	G. 'Shady' Mol	Loading... WHOA !!! love the expression ! The eyes are way cool ^^ Great pic ! ... .... .... wish I could do expressions like that.
11 May 2001	Reynai Nastrom	Loading... This is definately one of your best. I love how the feathers turned out, despite how much you say you hate them. Keep up the grand work.
2 Aug 2002	Jakub 'Kyknos' Friedl	Loading... I added this beautiful picture to the new Mythical Swan guided tour . Hope you do not mind. And do not hesitate to visit the tour. ))
3 Oct 2002	Rochelle Green	Loading... Feathers suck, I know!! For some reason my favourite part of this is the background..There is just something about those pretty blue swirls that is mezmerising.
23 Oct 2002	Suzuki	Loading... I suppose you know this story comes from a Japanese legend of the Swan-maiden.
