K. ´Karahatay´ Fink

So, here's my gallery.  About me?  Well, I'm a college student who loves to draw.  I enjoy doing illustrations, so you'll find a few of those in my gallery, as well as quite a few original characters.

Now, for a few comments on art in general and about my take on fantasy artwork. I have been told time and again by those professors of art that believe they know best, that fantasy art is not worthy of being art at all. Truly, I disagree with this sentiment, for I believe that art is any part of us that we take and find a way to express and share with the world. Theatre is this. Drawing is this. Painting is this. Writing is this. Music is this. I will admit, I associate myself more as a performing artist rather than an art- artist. But either way, is it not art? ;)

Yet, here am am. I, personally do Fantasy art because I love the story within the picture. I draw fantasy art to tell the stories within my mind. I feel that fantasy is for people who need an escape from reality because reality becomes so very narrow minded, so pounding and incessant, so overwhelming at times. There comes a time when everyone needs and escape. Us? We do it with our art. Perhaps we do it to take a step back and take a gander at yourself and your life from a new perspective. Anyhow.... Smile and have a great day!!

You've managed to metion the 'comment exchange' at least 6 times in your bio and make a tour about it. I'm impressed! Any idea who created it? Just asking out of curiousity. K. ´Karahatay´ Fink replies: "Nathaniel S. Summers (http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/n/a/nathaniel777/nathaniel777.html) created it. However, he's been busy with some personal stuff, so I've more or less started unofficially managing it, until Nathaniel gets back." 31 Jul 2007 Invicta Loading...

Hey K, I just wanted to stop by and let you know the the comment exchange is now up and running on http://www.commentexchange.org I got a little impatient and decided to run through all the members galleries and leave comments on them. Head on over, there's an admin spot waiting for you. Oh, and I love the jester dragon! That is just the coolest thing. I love the color too. Great work you've got here. 16 Dec 2007 Saskia H. Suurling Loading... Hello, I've have looked around a while in your gallery. I'm thinking that you are trying out different styles, am I right? Anyway it is looking very good so keep up the good work!. Kind Regards, Saskia K. ´Karahatay´ Fink replies: "Yeah. Mostly I've just been working on getting a better handle on coloring digitally, but if I learn different styles along the way, well, that's great too. " 26 Feb 2009 Stephanie 'Pegacorna' Small Loading... Hello, my piece (and maybe others) http://www.elfwood.com/art/p/e/pegacorna/abathiamod.jpg.html are in your comment exchange. However, I am spending all my time on Deviant Art and don’t have time to do both, so I am leaving the comment exchange even though I am very sad to do so. You should probably take my pictures off.
