Patrick McEvoy 2002-04-22 Very nice detail and character design! Creeeepy.... One suggestion, since you've got this toned background going, it would be a good opportunity to add some white hilites in Photoshop, just to pop some areas - that might add even more "oomph" to the picture.   (Dan Mills) Hey, Patrick. Believe it or not, the paper I drew this on was supposed to be white. Next time I'm going to try drawing on gray paper so I can use a white conte pencil for the highlites. I'm not too skilled with computer illustration yet. Vera Lucia Emerim 2002-04-22 Oh! Scary! I almost had a heart attack! The body is perfect and it is very interesting the effect of the head and the face. They are like a Naga head. An amazing piece, Dan.   (Dan Mills) Thanks for commenting on my work, Vera. It seems like I've been interested in the Medusa-type figure lately. Must be my dark side coming out. Ann Van den Broeck 2002-04-22 It's funny, beautiful and refined. What else could an impressed fan like me possibly wish for? *sighs softly* It's perfect!   (Dan Mills) Well, thank you very much for commenting on my artwork, Ann. I have a lot of fun sketching. Cynthia Rudzis 2002-04-22 Love the way you've melded the female form sssssseamlessly with the snake...right up to that face!   (Dan Mills) Hi CCCCCynthia. The model's torso had a serpentine quality to it so I decided to make the rest of her body into a snake. Darla Ecklund 2002-04-22 Detail Holy Moly Dan! Look at the detail in this drawing - her tail and scale design is wonderful. Lovely sketchwork!   (Dan Mills) Great Scott, Darla! Thanks so much for commenting on my drawing. Every now and then I like to sit down and doodle around with a pencil until I come up with something. It's sort of relaxing. Walt Bayless 2002-05-07 Nice drawing! You really catpured a fearful creature here. It has a neat, sharp kind of reality to it that is refreshingly creepy. Great job.   (Dan Mills) Thanks, Walt. I really enjoy pencil drawing. It's a nice escape from painting. Sara Witty 2002-06-12 whoa... is that COOL or what!? i gotta know what kind of pencils you use.   (Dan Mills) Thanks, Sara. I used to use mechanical pencils but being extremely lazy, I switched to a regular old ever sharp pencil. You know, the type that advances the lead with simple click. Christopher Shepard 2002-07-08 ! Hey! I didn't realize that you have an awesome Snake-Naga too! It's almost as cool as mine! (Heh Heh, kidding, it's cooler). Anyway, I love how you rendered the underbelly concave, it creates a truly realistic, snake-like texture and shape! Snake bellies really do suck in like that don't they? Great pic!   (Dan Mills) I didn't really have a plan when I started this drawing. It just sort of evolved as I went. I like working that way some times. Thanks for checking out my work, Chris.
