Jennifer 'Softpaw' Simmons

I've been drawing and painting about all my life but only got really into it in the late 90's most of what you see here is done then. I am NOT..as you might think from a good part of my artwork a Furry..I hate that term..it has gotten to many bad connotations and is just plain silly. The term I like better is anthropomorphic thank you.

I really enjoy musicals, CATS being my favorite (boo hiss at the people that canceled it on Broadway and replaced it with a play about ABBA!)and Andrew Lloyd Webber is my favorite composer. I also like performing on stage myself or doing behind the scenes work with costumes and make up.

Most (ok I think by now ALL) of my artwork is of or about the roleplaying I do on Nightstar.net in a place called #Gilded_Rose_inn It's a lot of fun and all are welcomed to come to it. My main nick on there is of course Softpaw but I have many others. However if I am on then Softpaw will be up, I use two irc's.

Oh, I'm 30 years old (born on Elvis's birthday), lived well lets just say I have library cards from three continents as my dad is a Retired Army Lt. Col. and leave it at that as the list is very long. Aside from musicals, roleplaying and the stage, I also enjoy reading, I muck about with webpage design and web graphics. Anything dealings with Cats unicorns or Fairies catches my eye.

I am married to a wonderful man, Like I am a Fae Kitty he is a Dragon. MY dragon. We've been married about two years now and I love him dearly. I live with him and Four cats in a little town in the middle of nowhere.

I have a number of friends who also have Elfwood pages. Please go Visit them!!

Very nice! 8 Jun 2002 Bill Hunt Loading... Wow! You are really cute. 3 Oct 2002 Rochelle Green Loading... HIya!! Here on the Q tour! The first thing that struck me here was the colours; beautiful, vibrant colours, so attractive to a magpie like me! Mmmm yesss! 23 Oct 2002 Dragonprincess Loading... Your artwork is very colorful 3 Jun 2003 Lisa Coleman Loading... Hey there! I'm Criada from LiveJournal, it's nice to see other Lj Elfwooders. I notice you seem to draw the features of the face as if they are separate things on a flat surface, without really thinking about the underlying muscles and bones. I remember hearing about this in one of my classes, it comes from drawing what one thinks an eye should look like, rather than what it actually is. Grab a book of anatomy for artists, I'm a big fan of anything by Joseph Sheppard. Another trick I was taught was to copy a picture of a person, but to turn that picture upside down. That tricks your mind into seeing only shapes and shades, and not eyes, nose, mouth. Just some constructive criticism, keep on creating! I love your colors and textures a lot. You're very imaginative. 27 Aug 2003 Sarah Loading... Jennifer 'Softpaw' Simmons replies: "Personal unhelpful attacks to myself will be deleted. Also your ip is logged and if the harassment continues I will not only report you to Elfwood but also your ISP. I do not know you and you do not know me. Please leave me alone." 13 Nov 2003 Art Girl Loading... I take it that you like cats, and drawing cat-people? I like cats, and drew a cat-person once too. MEW! 5 Jul 2006 Alric Loading...
