SciFi and Fantasy Art A Helping Hand by Lydia Thomas

All alone, I cry alone. Miserable, confused, hopeless. Why does no one care? Why is no one there? Who will help me when I'm so lost and alone 'I will help you' A voice....calling... 'It's ok, I will help you, just take my hand....' This picture is drawn from personal experience. There have been times when I have felt this way. I felt lost, alone, and confused, nobody understood me, nobody cared about me. But someone cared, and they helped me up to get up again and get on with my life. Who is your helping hand?

19 Aug 2005	Tone Ek Andreassen	Loading... Does first comment boogie!! I really like this. The propotions in this picture is really good! And I absolutely LOVE the shoes!! steals them and run away! Lydia Thomas replies: "Lol, thanks, I worked really hard to get her to look just right, I'm glad you like it. I'm pretty proud of the shoes. I wanted kindof a punkish elf girl, so boots wouldn't have worked and tennis shoes would be to un-fantasy, so I came up with leather laceup shoes with a leaf design. Thank you for commenting."
2 Sep 2005	Joshua D. Weinberg	Loading... Very poetic. Might work a bit with her anatomy. Her upper arm is a tad thick, and her wrists seem a bit heavy as well. Might try some reference work. Lydia Thomas replies: "Thank you, though its not really supposed to be poetic, its supposed to be profound and comforting. I used my self as a refference and I am short and rather stocky, with thick arms and legs. Not everybody is tall and slender you know. Thanks for commenting! "
29 Sep 2005	Michael E. Hamel	Loading... I love this poem! It reminds me of what I always do for my friends. I try to never fall into this position since I feel I am expected by others to be there helping hand... The art is also nicely done. The shading and shadows adds a nice sense of realism, even though the picture is fantasy. Lydia Thomas replies: "Thank you so much for the comment. I'm glad you are able to be a helping hand for others. I'm sure they are grateful. "
17 Nov 2005	Lauren	Loading... It's very touching. I like the poem and I can't really tell all about the porportions or anything, so good job!!
18 Nov 2005	Matthew D Seel	Loading... Great job love the details had to of taken you a while. Lydia Thomas replies: "well, only about as long as everything else I've done. Thank you for the comment however, I'm glad you like it, as it is one of my personal favorites."
6 Jan 2006	Anonymous	Loading... well, I usually comment overall, but I had to comment on this one personally. This is truly inspiring, but you said you wanted help with pointing out things to get better right, the middle scene the left wrist is slightly larger than the other, so you did say thats the way your built. Thats the only thing that MAY BE wrong. NOT SAYING IT IS...forgot to take caps off. I also have to say that no matter the situation we will always have a helping hand, whether physically visible or not. Lydia Thomas replies: "No your right, one of her writs is bigger. I see a bunch od other little anatomy mistakes in there, but you know how you finish a picture, and then you see the mistake, ane you really really don't want to erase all your hard work and fix it. So I didn't. Thank you very much for your compliaments."
