Hope L Kodman

I'm Hope. Yes, yes, nice to meet you too.

Now that's through, let's see... I'm twenty, mucking about in college-land, and I've no idea what I'm going to do with myself...so, in the meantime, I draw. And sometimes color.

I've always had an affinity for the artistic (I do theatre and singing and writing too), although I don't know if that's what I'll go into in the future...so, yeah. It's true. I'm a dirty art-dabbler.

I like culture, and religion, and all the quirks that come along when you get humanity. I like classic rock. I like to laugh, and I like parodies and satires--especially on fantasy and mythology--but even more when they've got a bit of meaning behind them. (I'm thinking Dogma, Discworld, etc. etc.) Thus a lot of humor often turns up, graphite-smudged, if one ever does something so rash as to give me a sheet of paper. I also likes me some villains, and would be a femme fatale if I could only keep from tripping in my stilettos.

Oh, and feedback is certainly welcome, as I am always looking to improve myself. Comment and I'll love you, or at least feel an unnaturally warm tingling in my chest cavity.

I really like your work. Its so loose and colorful! I was wondering, how did you do on your AP portfolio? I made one this year (although none of it is in my gallery), and made a 3 on it, so I'm just curious to see how others did. Hope L Kodman replies: "Thanks . Actually, I haven't gotten my results yet... *is impatient* And congratulations on your 3 -- that's great!" 18 Jan 2005 Alisea R. Zenk Loading... Hello, you have great talent, my sister says that you should read the Gormenghast novels and draw the characters, I agree, you are awesome at portraying the essence of a person. Just a suggestion... Keep up the good work! 23 Apr 2006 Rachael M. Blankenbecklor AKA 'Jade Vala' Loading... You rock, plain and simple! I really loved looking at your works!!!!!!

Rock on! 18 Jul 2006 Sarah Lee Williamson Loading... I was just wondering something while looking at your art. What religion are you? I really enjoy your fantastic and original art, I know you as Maghrabi from the Sierra/Vivendi message boards. I really like the way you draw faces and curly hair. Hope L Kodman replies: "Thanks for all the comments, Sarah! As to your question, I'm Catholic-Lite--well, Lutheran, that is. ^_^ Religion, mythology, and folklore are all really fascinating to me, hence all the references in the art--plus, at the time when a lot of them were made, I was doing my AP art portfolio, which has to have a theme--mine was mythology ^_^ ." 26 Aug 2006 Amanda " Loading... Cool style! My favorite part of your pictures is the faces, which are totally awesome! Page: [1] 2
