SciFi and Fantasy Art She Who Paints the Autumn Leaves by Melissa D. Saunders

This one is sort of a self portrait, just an elven lady painting the leaves their autumn hues. The hairless rat on her shoulder is based on my rat Chloe. The original piece is actually on an 11 by 14 posterboard, so I had to scan it in two pieces and put it together in Photoshop...not something I want to do often. I'm really pleased with how this turned out, and in person the colors are much more vibrant, but we all know what scanners do to artwork.

19 Jul 2007	Dona Nora	Loading... I LOVE those colours!!!She's beautiful, her dress, the background, the leaves and flowers around her, her hair and that mouse on her shoulder... Again, I love it. And yeah, scanners are BAD. Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Thank You!...but it's actually a rat on her shoulder. Modeled after one of my own rats. I love working with autumn colors. "
31 Dec 2007	Julie Raymond	Loading... This is amazingly gorgeous! Autumn is my favorite season, and I love rats, especially hairless. I had a whole family of them. I wish I had a dress like hers, I love the designs. Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Thank You, and hairless rats rule! "
1 Jan 2008	Natalie Beth Myers	Loading... I'm jealous. i wish i could paint like that. the rat is so cute!!! Melissa D. Saunders replies: "Don't feel bad, I can't paint like that either. This is all colored pencil - I don't venture into the paints very often. "
