In deep despair of war lives a small hope in Vesper, the town surrounded by thousands of goblins ... In this Days Asarea tells some children a ghost story to give them a little bit of pleasure. (black ink on paper)

Wow, what a beautifully ambitious work, Gloria! So much lovely detail, multiple characters, great perspective. This works well in black and white. ^_^ It looks like an illustration. Really wonderful job.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Again blushing ... *smiles* most fun to create were the children ... I don't draw children that much, but their love to storys and fantasy made them a perfect part of the scene in my mind."

This is truly a scene. Excellent detail and poses. You really took the time to capture a photograph of old history and not just focus on one character. One of my favorite pieces, beautifully done.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "In fact, this scene never happened ingame, but I just needed to do this pic - it was part of the feeling we had while playing the persons in the closed towns. *smiles*"

oh my goodness how cool it this! I love it, the pose and the setting and just about everything! Her hands looked a little bit odd at first, but upon closer inspection it was just my perspective. Great job.

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "The hands were the most critical part of the pic - I've drawn them five or six times just to try out the perspective .. 12"

:-) Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Hehe ... the time this picture was created, Harry Potter and big black dogs in his live dit not exist *smiles* but it *could* be just a scene like you imagined ^^"

Absolutely Amazing! I entirely agree! There aren't many works of art like this around! *applause*

2 Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Thank you 2 I wanted to get away from the normal 'a knight has to fight and wear shiney armor on every picture' cliche ... and well, it works ^^"

There is just one thing i dont understand about your collection is this: If shes a knight, why is she never wearing armour?

12 Gloria H. Manderfeld replies: "Oh well ..good question. I also have pictures of her in armor, but not all are here in the gallery. The reason is simple: Nearly everybody has some knights in shiney armor in his or her gallery, and I wanted to show that there are many hours in a knight's life filled with other tasks than fighting or wearing armor. Did you ever wear a full plate? I did, and it's really heavy - not the kind of 'clothes' you want to wear every hour *smiles* a chainmail tunic is much easier to wear and allows a completely different fighting style. "

I think some of your pics could be great on wood. as in a woodcut.
