Mariana L Pinnell

Mae govannen! I'm a daydreamer from London who loves to illustrate mythology and literature. But I also have many of my own characters and stories that I like to illustrate. The works of J.R.R Tolkien have always been a big inspiration for me but i'm also inspired by random things such as places,objects and songs. My favourite fantasy artists are Alan Lee,Brian Froud and John Howe. I have been drawing as far back as I can remember and my work has improved a lot over the years but there is still a lot of room for improvement,so any constructive criticism is most appreciated. A lot of the work on here is now rather old, and I've just gotten around to putting newer stuff on. I hope to illustrate books in the future, and I have a few ideas for graphic novels too.

I always like to see more Tolkien art. I think my favorite of yours is the colored version of Beren and Luthien. Mariana L Pinnell replies: "Thanks! I'm happy that people seem to like Beren and Luthien, I thought it looked a lot better on paper than on the screen." 13 Feb 2004 Jimi L Loading... Nice work. I can see a lot of potential.

I agree that the Beren / Luthien pic is the most eye catching. They are all quality. You might be able to get even more done now that your room is no longer mordor Mariana L Pinnell replies: "wow! you finally got off your a**e and commented on my page thank you, and yes, i will be more productive know that mordor has been vanquished and there is room to move a pencil!" 4 Jun 2004 Anonymous Loading...
