SF&F Picture 9 out of 48 by Maja Andersson

SciFi and Fantasy Art Centaur mountain by Maja Andersson

I got inspiraton for this picture when I was skiing in the Swedish mountains, it was so beautiful! But there was a lot more snow then in the picture though... :) I just couldn't resist putting Arathos's twin brother Aydon there (the one in the background), together with a friend (Yes, they do have a centaur friend to, not only elves... :)) Any suggestion for a name to this chestnut centaur would be welcome :) Soft pastel drawing, 60x80 cm. And yes, the colors are a bit ruined... Blame the camera >:( Mrrr..... 07-25-02 I have at last got some decent photos of this one, with better colour and detail... :)

1 Jan 2003	Anonymous	Loading... I wish I could draw that way! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
31 Jan 2003	Johanna Iso-Järvenpää	Loading... I would love to see this one 'in situ' and explore your technique! A photograph never tells it all. Although I can see that this is a very well done painting and the colours (those are difficult to keep in balance) are carefully set. Besides your technique, I like the way you have put these extraordinary creatures into an ordinary place and situation. This way they look so real they might really exist in the Swedish mountains. I would like to see more out of this idea. Maja Andersson replies: "Who has said they don't exist in the Swedish mountains? Where's the proof that they don't? Hihi, I have a whole bunch of sketches of these two centaurs, but I have no idea where they are... perhaps I should dig them up and give them another chance? We'll see.... Thankyou very much!"
4 Apr 2003	Yavanna	Loading... mouth drops You're too good at this. Honestly, it's just unnatural. People like you make me sick...hogging all the talent. Okay I'm kidding, but you're awesome.

Thank you very much! "
3 Aug 2006	Hyrane of Xanth	Loading... Nice! I love it! If you don't mind, I'd like to use it as a cover for my novel, I won't take it or use it if you say no, but If you say ok, It'll likley be published so you can see your art on a book. I await your answer. ^^
22 Jan 2008	Ashlea Elphie Schuster	Loading... gorgeous!
1 Nov 2008	Christine Allison Earle	Loading... Excellent centaur anatomy. I look for that as I am a serious Centaur afficionado. Very good pastel work. It’s just wonderful all around. Did you ever find a name for him? I have a character that looks a LITTLE like him called Urseus. (he’s more classic Greek) Again, excellent work.
