wow i have to say you are amazing! i love your work i have honestly been inspired by your work to do more background work like you said.

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "thanx so much Josh Background, they don’t have to be full on detailed works, sometimes just a bit of shading to take away the stark white of the paper works just as well - maXine "

M glad u found that lighter Thanx so much for ur wishes Maxine!

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "My pleasure Vinnie - and having lived in Malaysia for two years (and being a keen Cricket fan.. the Aussies once again being given a batting lesson at 6/529 - listening to the current test match) I did actually realise it was Diwali... happy new year ! - maXine "

Hey thats cool!! u rock

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "thanx Vinnie for all your comments on my art.... and yes, a white-wash in the cricket ( - maXine "

So you saw Schonenbaum at the Cirque? I can understand how you kept gawking at whoever the guy was. Slightly cool really.

Sorry I haven’t read anymore. Don’t worry, I am going to, but real life is constantly interrupting me. I read about two sentences before someone calls me or something. And now my birthday is coming up! *Yay for me!*

Anyway, I’ve had a question buzzing around since you read my story. Sort of just for my personal entertainment. How would Anariel and Schonenbaum react to each other? I really don’t know why I want to know, but I’m just curious. She would think he was completely gorgeous, but...

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "no worries - the story is there for when you have time... have posted Ch7... a few more and the story will be complete. My husband wiped my chin and told me to stop drooling! *lol*
As for S~ would react... hmmm... he would regard her with respect for the elven type she is, but nothing more. She is not his type, to cool, too full of herself and her abilities, too independent; his type of woman is one that relies on him to do the fighting, someone he can rely on to provide his safe haven and his comfort, not someone to fight at his side - very stereotypically macho of him I know, but that is how I created him to be
Oh, and a very happy birthday Jess!! - maXine xxx"

If you like DEMON related art,look no further.

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "thanx D... smart praise from like-minded - maXine "

*Grins wryly*

Well in that case, Anariel wouldn’t like Schonenbaum very much either. She sort of hates old fashioned macho guys. I guess sometimes she is too independent, hehe. *Ducks as Anariel chucks something at me from across my room* Oops, she was reading over my shoulder.

Anyway, I am going through the Twilight craze like every other lovestruck teenage girl in the US. Have you heard of Edward Cullen, yet? If not, then don’t wait another minute and go get the books! Sorry, I sounded like a comercial. *Anariel rolls her eyes and pretends to swoon* She says I’m becoming obsessed. *Blushes*

But yeah, that’s where I’ve been all this time...in Forks, Washington. That’s where the book is set anyway. You would probably like it though. Its a vampire novel, so its right up your alley.

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "I agree, not her type, he is a bit OTT in the machismo department - she would probably be rather smitten with his looks, until he growled at her to "get back in the kitchen" *lol*

Funny enough, vampyres are not my thing at all (though I hve heard of Twilight and Edward Cullen) - the only vampyre in my gallery is getting well and truly staked. And as for reading, well, how can I compete with Twilight eh? Anyway, the story will still be there when you get a chance... will probably have posted the entire thing by then - maXine "

Okay, Anariel, just a minute!

*Blushes sheepishly and kicks a snag in my carpet.* Anariel wanted me to ask you if you would draw a picture of her. I know, drawing an elf is a glaring insult to your demon awesomeness...though after the pink episode, one more misdemeanor couldn’t hurt.

Just wanted to ask. I promise, promise I’ll read more about Schonenbaum when I get a chance. Most of my reading in Twilight happens around midnight in case you were wondering why I had time to read that, but not your stuff.

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "hhmmmm... I have been known to draw the occasional pointy ear *grins* - sure why not, since Anariel asked so nicely. Give me a brief synposis of her characteristics; I know she is a red-head, green eyes yes? But what else do you think is pertinent about her? besides her impertinence - maXine "

heyy I just wanted to say that I love your gallery!!!!!

Maxine *piXel* Cox replies: "thanx very much Hannah - that is very kind of you - maXine "

Thanks for drawing her! *Anariel hugs the computer*

Welp, lets see. She has red hair, as you know, but its wavy like Arwen’s in the LotR movie. It goes about to her waist. Her emerald green eyes are really clear, sort of vibrant, but not overly. Try looking up emeralds on google and choose a sort of deep color.

Actually, for a reference photo if you need one, try looking up Rachel Lefevre. There is one pic of her on google where her hair is straight, and she has this sort of serious expression. Get rid of the freckles and tan her skin a little more and she’d pretty much be perfect. That’s another thing. Anariel has a soft tan, not the chalky white skin that red-heads usually have.

She wears black leather stiletto boots (not that they have that brand in her world, heh) but not overly shiny. Just ordinary black leather that’s a little polished. A black cloak complete with hood is fastened around her neck by a lion head clip, silver in color. A white diamond in the shape of a pegasus rearing with its wings spread hangs around her neck on a black chain.
