SciFi and Fantasy Art Ariel (The Tempest) by Eva K. Martyir

This is Ariel, from Shakespeare's - The Tempest. I had lots of fun with this one, after reading the play for the 57,849th time. ^^ It started off as a doodle, but when I couldn't get the neck and forehead right, I decided to get more serious about it and cleaned it up a little. I could go on a lot about all the techincal stuff I messed up on, but I don't want to waste your time. Tell me what you think!!

24 Dec 2003	Sinclair	Loading... Hey babe! I love all your drawings, it's just too bad you can't get all of them up here. I realy like the hand, it's well done. Keep drawing! Eva K. Martyir replies: "Hi Sinni! Thanks for commenting! "
7 Jan 2004	Ellette	Loading... I appreciate your style of art. It is almost carefree and I enjoy this whimsical setting. I do have a little bit of constructive criticism if you don't mind. I understand that Ariel is a free spirited individual. One does not think of a jolly fat man as a wispy kind of creature, you're right on that. However, the body form seems slightly creepy. The slenderness of Ariel and the position of his hand attests to this. Your piece is beautiful, keep pursuing your art. Tenderly, your fellow artist Eva K. Martyir replies: "Yes, I agree. The hand was actually drawn at a different time, as was the ship, so they turned out a bit different. I wasn't really paying too much attention when I drew any of it, actually. Thanks for the critizism! (It seems too many people are afraid to give it because they don't want to offend anyone.) Come again soon!"
3 Jan 2005	Ivory	Loading... It may the nature of line drawings, but I feel a certain lack of depth. The ship may or may not be floating in Ariel's hand, he may or may not have bad intentions with it, it 's just not very clear, the audience is left guessing and interpreting for themselves. Hm, perhaps it 's a wonderful piece of art. Anyway, I copied the image to the top of my webpage about Ariel, with a link back. Hope you don't mind .
5 Jan 2005	Henrik ´Poet Hater´ K. Larsson	Loading... I agree, the hand below the ship is excellent! But, yes, it could use with a little more depth, I'm thinking. Perhaps with a bit of background it wouldn't seem as such? I don't know.
2 Feb 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Hand seems a bit out of proportion. Too small.
