HELLO again and WELCOME to my little Gallery at Elfwood!
As you are here, please make youself at home, have a beer, sit down on your chair and take a look around.
Gosh, I am 21 years old now - but not any wiser than before. Fortunately, I have been studying enough to pass my exam session in June, so that I had time to draw some new pictures during the last two weeks.
As you might have noticed, there is some new Harry Potter stuff here (Sirius! *dops*). I must admit that my 'Sirius-Black-Veneration-Syndrom' has come back since I have seen the third movie. I thought that Gary Oldman was just perfect!
Well, enough of this. There is one think I want to point out:
As copied artwork is not welcome on Elfwood, I had to post some of my pictures somewhere else. *EYES some people here* - By the way, I still have difficulties to understand the mod's refusal to accept copied art (unterstand me right: When I say 'copied', I mean 'inspired by an existing movie shot or photogrpah'), and I really begin to ask myself what this 'Fanart' section is made for...
Some people use to say that copying a picture is not a creative act and does not lead anywhere. This was a real dilmenda to me and so I aksed John Howe on his forum about this.
Now guess what he answered: Copying is a VERY GOOD way to practise, yes, my precouissss! This message goes out to all adepts of realism-copying-style out here: Your pictures are NOT less good than other people's work! DRAW ON!!
Ehm *cough* *cough*, well, back to topic: If you want to see more pictures (Mostly portraits of 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Harry Potter' characters), please go to this site there *Points at the 'Own Gallery' link* and enjoy. It doesn't matter if you don't know german - as long as you can see the pictures :-)
All the Best from
~ Kate ~
P.S: Please don't beat me because of my terrible English - my translator does not work anymore :-(

| 28 Sep 2004 |  Johanna Iso-Järvenpää | Hi Kate! I'm familiar with those copy accusations here in Fan Quarters. I had the most dashing Snape portrait to be moderated, and what I get was a cold shower and a serious warning for not to copy. Aww... I was being ignorant at that time. I really thought that even if I used a pic of an actor as a reference, my art would still be mine and not a copy. Now I'm wiser and never leave a trace to the original photograph, and that - as far as I know - is the way _they_ want it.
Apart from Elfwood, copying is how artists learn. We take a still life of fruits and copy it with oil paints, we take a photograph of a person we admire, and copy it. What's the difference? As Ulla said there earlier, there is always a touch of that specific artist brought along to the piece. For me it works so that I make a few careful studies of a person's face and other features, and after that I'm more or less able to do my own drawings of that person without a reference.
Btw, how are artists supposed to do any real portraits if they are not allowed to use references? | |
| 29 Sep 2004 |  Meg L. Getrum | Well, about 'copying.' Copying a work can be considered a creative act. And yes it is a good way to practice. But elfwood started (and continues to be) a place for original artwork. If you copy a work of art, it is no longer original. But the MAIN reason elfwood does not allow copies, is Copyright infringement. In US law, a work of art is copyrighted the INSTANT it is created if it is original (not a copy, or close enough to be considered a copy.) A piece of art doesnt have to be marked Copyrighted or anything, it just IS copyrighted.
And if you look at the elfwood rules, there are guidelines on how art can inspire other art and visual to visual art is frowned upon. | |

| 12 Dec 2004 |  Sarah L. Kestrel | you have wounderful talent!  I am making a Sirius Black tour and was hoping that I could add "And he fell..." "Pain" and "Sirius" to it. Catherine 'Kate' van Mark replies: "Yes you can Sirius Black's friends are my friends ^-^" | |
