SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Jason ´Yanni´ Ritenour

(Looks under blanket)"Oh...there you are .I wondered what that whimper was."(as the intruder studies his surroundings...the picture of an elf catches his eye.) "Nice work , it's about time somebody beefs up those bony little sap suckers.You've got real potential,I'm glad you're not going to be boring us with the usual cliches."
(the intruder turns to leave , but pauses beneath the crimson gate of bone and flesh that marks the entrance to Jason's realm.)
"Here's a few words of advice .Always sketch lightly.It makes it easier to erase stray pencil marks from your final product.When you start your sketch break your character down into basic shapes then gradually add detail .This allows more flexability in shaping your characters pose and body language.Study the people around you for ideas.Watch how everything from their posture to the way they move their hands gives away clues to their mood and personality,then apply what you have learned to your own characters."
"Good luck and please add more pictures to your gallery soon...It's much too small."(The intruder flashes a wicked grin and vanishes.)

Jason 'Yanni' Ritenour replies: "ARGH! he found me, *runs off to find a better hiding spot*Thanks for the tips, hopefully i'll be able to get some more stuff done soon. I've been busy lately with school starting and working."

Oh my lord! Yanni has an elfwood account. I laugh. I laugh like a small child. It's especially funny because Laura (little sister Laura - the one dating hotpants Johnny)found this enitely randomly... and she's like "what's Yanni's last name? Sure enough... it's you.

Hey, how you doing Jason, this is nate your cousin. I like your drawings dude. Keep up the good work.
