Tag As FavoriteComment		'I pledge myself to chaos, I give my soul to the void, I want for nothing that my master does not, I am nothing in his shadow, I am his.' An apprentice mage takes her vow to join the Chaos faction of the Magic Council. Unbeknown to her at this time she will fall in love with a Neutral wizard and have to betray her master. This is a remake of an idea that I had ages ago when faces were like flying to me (ie: slightly difficult!). The runes around the picture were in silver pen on the original, amnd they didn't say anything in particular. But this glowy photoshop style was inpired by my visit to Rhiannon Dariyan Daymond-King . Her Elven spell can be seen here: http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/r/d/ rdariyandk/elvishwritingrunesmall.jpg.html. An if I were clever this could have been a propper link and not a cut 'n paste job!!

Oh dear Chaos Again.
Has she got an overly long nose? Not very pretty is she?

20 Dave Cripps replies: "Chaos. Yes again. Perhaps I am becoming Chatic!No I'm not. Yeah well you know me I do tend to over do the lenght of a face. And No she's not supposed to be pretty. Not everyone in fantasy land is beautiful. But i know you're just having a dig 12"

Actually, I don't think the problem is her nose, she has small eyes, which i think, if pushed a little further down, would do no harm.. She's not ugly... she's just unique like every one of us 2 Nice picture, great colouring! =)

20 Dave Cripps replies: "Then perhaps I shouldn't give up on faces then?Thanc you I wassn't aiming to draw a beauty just an everyday (Extraordinary) woman.I do tend to elongate faces which is why I hate doing them... Must learn... must learn ......(That sound? Just me bashing my mouse with my head)!"

Hi! This pic is done very very well. The shading on her clothes is great and this circle of runes fits in perfectly. Though I agree with this visitor above that her nose looks a bit weird (what am I saying... I can't do it better...).
You maybe could have added a bit more shining detail on her hair but that's a really nice pic! ^^

2 Dave Cripps replies: "Its rather hard for me to do faces, I dont know why, I've never been able to do them well. But I should be thankful that you can see that it is a face! LOL. I may put some highlights into the hair, but I might as well try again I learned a lot from this picture and fiddling with it would only make a mess. Forward to the next face!"

Wondeful work done on it*stares at writing*erk so what is is suppose to say.....

12 Dave Cripps replies: "The translation is at the top. But feel free to try to translate using the runes. It starts above her head the first letter being 'I"."
28 Jul 2005:-) Jenny Schreiber
Oh NO!!! Don't give up on faces! 'Cos you are good! Really unique character you did (jeees, I speak like Yoda)

2 Dave Cripps replies: "I can but only try. *Master Yoda pokes him with his stick* "Do or do not, there is no try. ""
