I'm not talented!

I did do one thing though. It's an OCD exercize I do with fractals.

If anyone has read Neil Gaiman's "Stardust" then you'll understand why this is named Tristan Thorn.
It's how I imagined him as he came through the Wall as a baby.

Try that one.. I dunno why it wouldn't come up. Stupid computers.

...And now that I look at this, it seems I've cropped off her hands anyway.. hm.
Rosie, this looks like Turin and Finduilas. Was that your intention?

Indeed. Interesting how the colours shift along the diagonal line.

Methinks I have to read 'Stardust', it's on my shelf but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Stardust gooood.

It's actually made up of two layers. I've been trying to duplicate the effect in Photoshop, but to no avail.

I've never read Stardust. The pic is cool, though. I like the colours.

Nicely, nicely done!! The proportions are very balanced! Hats off. I often find it hard to get the legs or the arms the right proportion to the torso, etc. This is very good stuff!

Telcontarion,

Very nice! The proportioning is excellent. They also look like the same person. The facial features are very believable. They look like a real person.

Not bad! I love the colouring; what'd you use?

I started a drawing of a friend's son... ARGH. Something happened to the paper (I think it got damp somehow), and it's definately ruined. I'll have to start over, and I'm not too hyped about it.

I love your drawings! I always admire the "comic book" look! in fact, I just a really great book on angels mainly for the illustrations which are very comic book like. here is my color version of myself as Nerdanel, Feanor's wife. I still have some tweaking to do to it as well as my border to put on it. When I tok the picture it came out really dull in color and you couldn't see any of the canvas texture so I had to add both the color/contrast and the texture back in with Photoshop. I'll scan the finished product when I get it all done.
