SciFi and Fantasy Art Melanthe by Stephanie Krutsick


	Greek, meaning 'dark flower' (pronounced Mel-anth-ah). Seemed to fit her.... Perhaps she looks a bit familiar, mmm?

26 Apr 2001	Rhynn	Loading... I can definately see the similarities between her and Xena. The wings are fantastic, I've tried that myself and failed miserably.
18 Oct 2001	Baz Jinx Dwornik	Loading... Nice picture. The hair could use more dynamic highlights and shadows. Hair tends to be shiny. Very realistic though. What kind of wings are those?
4 Dec 2001	Amanda 'Mana' Nelson	Loading... ....Wow @.@ She's gorgeous! ^_^ Nice work! ..In fact, I like all the stuff you have up here...but wings. sage nod LOVE The wings and the hair on her! ^_^ ne...so pretty! Keep up this excellent work! Hope to see more up soon! ^_^
4 Sep 2002	Amy Williams	Loading... A wonderful peice! She has a sense of humanity about her; a human woman remembering her heritage?
5 Sep 2002	Mira cash-davis	Loading... Why are there dark spots around the bases of her wings? It looks painful.. Like crusty scabs or something. I've never really thought of drawing the place where the wings join to the back, interesting idea. But maybe you could lighten up the shading around those scabs a little..
7 Sep 2002	Roz 'Skankabelle'Eliza Gjessing	Loading... ah yay, you used the name that I decided I would name a hypothetical child(which will probably never exist)a couple of years ago...'cept I spelled it melantha...This pic is really cool though, I can see the Xena resemblence, and the wings are all goodly transparent. ah, how I do love xena.
22 Jan 2003	Faith	Loading... i think this picture is wonderful, i adore the way you made the wings grow out of her back, as opposed to just having thin lines attaching them. WONDERFUL!
31 Oct 2004	Wonderwolf	Loading... I really like how you handled the wings and how they come out of the back. It's not an easy task to make faery wings look feasable, but you did, hon! Congratulations! You win... a cookie!
17 Dec 2004	Blonde Elf	Loading... Xena! Yeah! I love it! You are wonderful at faces! Love it! Love Xena too! Smiles
13 Apr 2005	Sweetz	Loading... shes not Zena...shes a kind of self protrait of Stephanie....DUH! Shes gorgeous, stephanie!
