Pearl jack of all trades, master of none.
 
 
 

Good day to you! As you can see, I am Pearl Hodges. I'm a twenty three year old costume designer and builder with a Degree from the University of Califorina, Santa Cruz, in theater arts (although I do other theater work professionaly as well). Anyways, here at Elfwood, you'll find sketches, unwished works, and older works of mine.  I like to use elfwood as a log of where I have come from in my art, in relation to fantasy and sci-fi. If you go to the links in the sidebar, at my homepage (Featherwurm Graphics) you'll find more finished works and current works (most of which verges on abstract or surreal), along with more sketches and some other interesting things. If you go to my 'private gallery' (Epilogue) you'll find the very best of my finished science fiction and fantasy works. As you can see, I enjoy working in many mediums, although two of my favorites are watercolor and colored pencil. However I'm willing to try anything once, as you can probably see. I also enjoy sculpting whenever I get the chance, some of the results of which you'll see here. I draw many things, but dragons and other monsters are some of my favorite subjects, again though, I don’t like to limit myself to anything, and as you can see, I draw plenty of elves, heroes, half-humans, and so on. When it comes to science fiction, I like to illustrate my own brand of mechanical animals and urban fantasy scenes, along with other things. I hope you enjoy the works you see here, please feel free to leave comments, I enjoy them very much, and I do like creative criticism, so if you see something you feel needs improvement please don’t hesitate to mention it, although as most of this work is old, it may have already been improved on on later imgages (as you may see). As you can see I have included the dates at which these various pieces here were completed, to try to show how my work has developed over the years. I'm almost always open to commissions and art trades (which I enjoy very much), you can check my website for details, or just e-mail me.

Your pictures look so great in thumbnails that I wanted to go leave some comments, but I can't get to them! I click on them and it takes me back to your main page... probably my evil computer's at it again...

Anyway, from thumbnails your art looks great. Perhaps I'll come back some time and leave some more comments...

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "That's very odd indeed. Well, try again after shutting down and turning your computer back on, maybe that will work. I hope my thumbnails hold up to your expectations!"

Wow. You got some great stuff here. Saw your griffin, freaky as heck, but still kinda cool. Visit my gallery some time and feel free to comment.

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "Thank you very much! I'll try to stop by."

'Ello! I just wanted to say that your dragons are really awesome!! I love the "Verdego" one ... so original ... ^_^ Keep up the good work! Wooo!
(If you're wondering how a random stranger like me found your gallery, it's because I'm a Yerf-forum lurker ... 10)

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "Ah-ha! Well thank you for stopping by! Glad you like the dragons (I love 'em myself!)"

You have a very colorful and creative gallery. I like your use of color and you do a wonderful job drawing dragons. I really like you subjects and you have a technique all your own. Keep up the wonderful work!!

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "Thank you very much, will do!"

I came across your house on elftown (I’m sequeena_rae on there) and followed your link here. Your art is wonderful! Would you consider coming back to us? 2

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "I can’t promise I’ll be that active, but sure, I’ll come back and re-fill my hose and poke around. It’s been a long time! Life sorta got busy and that fell by the wayside, but I could pick it up again a bit I think!"

Hi Pearl, I only found your website because I googled Pearl A Hodges, as that is my daughters name too! She is seven and spends her days drawing fairies, mermaids, hello kitty and cats. Very trippy huh?! She LOVES your artwork, as do I. Keep up the stunning work.

:-) Pearl A Hodges replies: "Will do! Thank you so much for dropping by, fantasy art... must be something with the name lol ;3."
