SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Eric R. Vondell ~ ´Tralfaz Aquilleon´

I’ve not been here in ages. But, really great collection of critters---Especially the Thanator / Viperwolf,,,er,,,,Xu-Hrydah...Love it! How’d you get Mr. Cameron to pay attention to your work? I mean, I’m still struggling to get anyone in "Hollywood" to look at my stuff...But, then, it’s not really as creative and utterly original as is your world! KUTGW

Oh. My God! YOU Created all those wonderful Pandoran creatures?!!! BTW: I’ve just been staring in awe at the thumbnails but now I’m gonna take a closer look. *Aaaaarrrroooooo*

GOOOoooooo Tralfaz! Soar with Mountain Banshees! I said this over on your Xu-Hryda drawing! Bears repetiton!

Love your art! Especially the alien creatures. They look like they might be real out there! Especially, I like your Thanator prototype drawing! The Xu-Hryda rocks big time!

Yes! That’s my real name! not a screen name! I’ve been taking a beating ever since "AVATAR" came out. My coworkers are now calling me "Jakesully" and poking all sorts of "Avatar" jibes at me. Now I know who’s really to blame for all my misery of late! Why can’t you "Hollywood" types ever create names that aren’t already in use?!.....Good art though....Just thought you’d want to know that not everyone is happy about "Avatar".

Sorry Jake Sully. I didn’t invent the name. Mr. Cameron did! Nor is the Xu-Hrydah the prototype for the Thanator! It came from my very first Sharaulni dreams way back in the 1970’s. As did the Tairlanga and so on. But the Thanator was definitely inspired by it! And the three most important Pandoran creatures are definitely derived from my art--posted herein Elfwood these many years! I see you just posted today--hold the phone! Jan 27th? It’s only the 26th...? *Checks Thuban’s wrist watch--and yells at the Xu-Hrydah to stop tormenting the Rythykranu* Yeah! It’s still the 26th for me--ship time anywho. I’m preparing to leave this God forsaken Hellhole of a planet for some much needed R&R on some planet that looks little like Jurassic Park, and a lot like Pandora!. You creatures really have nothing that I want, that could keep me here. I’d love to set a legion of Pandoran critters loose on Earth! An urban jungle overrun by Palulukan & Nantang and a Sky ful of ikran & Toruk! All armed with the latest in Dranthruhryxhan interdimensional weaponry! No more psychotic apes to torment me! Time-Lord Paradise! {Stupid, Evil Monkey. It’s what’s for dinner!}

WOW! Love your art and that kewel disertation---if that was you, I mean. Stupid evil monkey....*belches* good eatin!

Ooooh! Nice Creatures! I love your Gryphons and Pandoran animals! The Xu-Hryda rocks big time, dude! And I would have only guessed at what the Na’vi came from! I mean, they’re not like most of the six legged animals, so they had to have a very different animal ancestor. Tairlangas Rock even bigger time! Looks like your gryphon-dragon and the Creatures # 7 were mixed together to make the Mountain Banshee! Your imagination os really out of thios world, dude! Tralfie’s gallery rocks way bigger than bigger time!

I COULDN’T COMMENT ON EVERYTHING---WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THOUGH! YOUR ART IS AMAZING. NOT LIKE THE SUPER-REAL STUFF OR THE PHOTO-REAL OR SOME COMUTER GRAPHICS STUFF, BUT LIKE MORE IMAGINATIVE THAN ANYTHING I’VE EVER SEEN ANYWHERE! NOBODY I KNOW THINKS LIKE THIS! IT’S LIKE YOU REALLY ARE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION OR SOMETHING! IF JAMES CAMERON OR STEPHEN SPIELBERG HASN’T MET YOU, THEN THEY SHOULD! FIRST OF ALL BECAUSE YOU BEET ’EM TO THE AVATAR CREATURES AND WELL, YOU JUST BELONG WITH THEM! WHEREVER YOU ARE NOW AND WHEREEVER YOU REALLY CAME FROM....I’M GLAD TO HAVE FOUND YOUR GALLERY!

You sure do like the color Blue don’t you? You gots a lots of things in blue!
