SciFi and Fantasy Art The Mother of Grendel by Sarah ´SSPrincess´ Stover

Surprisingly enough, this was for school. Well...sort of. In my Brit.
Lit class, we had to draw our own version of characters from the epic
Beowulf, choosing either Beowulf, Grendel, or Grendel's mother. I
think it's obvious who I picked. The only problem I had was that the
drawing itself was larger than my scanner, so the better of the two
hands (the left) got cut off slightly. And yes I know, the right hand is
too small and the dagger is awful...*cry cry*

27 Feb 2004	Daniel Maertens	Loading... wow, you made the mother of grendel, look so nice. Not as fearsome as I would have imagined, but its a nice pic. Sarah 'SSPrincess' Stover replies: " Yay! Me first comment! Thankees! True, true...she probably should be more scary, but then again Beowulf doesn't really give too many details on what she looked like...and we all have our own ideas...this is mine "
20 Nov 2004	Kaely T. Saffoui	Loading... I like this picture! I think her legs look a bit short, and you've already mentioned the hand, but other than that it's great! And...about the hand..perhaps you could say that it was all cut off except for the thumb...which is how she's holding the dagger.... Sarah 'SSPrincess' Stover replies: "Glad you like it! Good idea 'bout the hand, I like it! "
9 Jan 2005	Anonymous	Loading... It looks like a cat not grendals mom hello grendals mom is green and looks like a snake!! Sarah 'SSPrincess' Stover replies: "It never said exactly what she looked like, and all it said was that she was a "she-wolf" amd a witch. Never said anything about here being green or looking like a snake, so basically I can draw her as I please; this is how I think she looked like, and if you don't like it, well too bad."
9 Jan 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Its ugly! Sarah 'SSPrincess' Stover replies: " So are you. And I doubt you can do better, you coward!"
9 Jan 2005	Anonymous	Loading... Umm well i think grendels mom is much scarier soo not so much looking like a cat.... But it is a good picture.......kinda Sarah 'SSPrincess' Stover replies: "True, she probably should look a whole lot scarier. I can probably do a better job now, as I drew this several years ago when I was struggling with proportions."
26 Sep 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Yea this is a good drawing. Everybody has there own opinon, so yea her hand is a little too small but thats ok. And not even the author explains exactly what she looks like. So your imagination is great and keep drawing. you should draw another picture and post it and see how different it is. I dunno just an idea.
