Diane Rooney 2002-07-11 Stunning work! I love this! The colours are wonderful and the costume is amazing - such detail. Awe inspiring work. Thanks for sharing.   Christine M. Griffin 2002-07-11 *mouth agape* YOU....ARE....FABULOUS! How come I've never heard of you before?? This is my fave; the technique rocks. The texture in the background...her grand costume...perfection. I'd love to get back into acrylics again, but God help me if I try to paint with my rugrats about. Did you use colored pencil with this too? Am off to check out your personal page.   Jhoneil Centeno 2002-07-11 wooohooo!! this is great! Well I'm glad you finally joined Epilogue, April. I can't believe Christine has never heard of you :P   André Szabolcs Szelp 2002-07-11 II wish... I could do that well with acrylics too. I have used that medium lately, but... You are really unbeatable. Great art!   stan wisniewski 2002-07-11 April, great painting. The detail is amazing!   Dan Mills 2002-07-12 Beautiful painting, April. You really did a nice job on the flesh tones and hair.   April Lee 2002-07-11 RE: the Medium... Actually, this is more properly Mixed Media. I'm using a super-smooth, all white (incl. core) Letramax board, FW Acrylic Inks with an Iwata HP-B airbrush, no frisket this time--I think!, then I erase out the highlights, go in with color pencils to refine the piece, then work up the highlights and shadows with acrylic paint (and some color washes). It's a process that works well for me. And... in case you can't guess, this was very inspired by Tom Canty's fantasy paintings. Oh, and I think she was described as a duellist who uses matching rapiers, hence the two swords...   April Lee 2002-07-11 Ha! Jhoneil! :P Outside of fans of a few card games (and former co-workers!!!), I'd be surprised if anyone has heard of me. --There are just too dang many fantasy artists in the world!!! ^_^   Harmony Steel 2002-07-12 Wonderful work with great attention to detail!   Meredith Dillman 2002-08-18 yup, ver thomas canty-like. Beautiful too:) The lighter colors are a nice departure from tghe rest of your work.   Eden Celeste 2002-09-06 Swashbucklers! OOH! Way cool! I have a friend who is very into fencing and recently discovered the 7th Sea game and has been bugging me since to play too. This is awesome artwork. If I'd known the artwork was going to be this nice I'd have played ages ago. :)   (April Lee) Thanks! I hope you enjoy playing the game. dilosh GregowicH 2002-09-28 wow! great pose and outfit!!and indeed, gorgeous detail!   delete my 2003-01-26 Probably my favorite of all your art. She looks very ... cultured, yet at the same time sexy. Very nicely done!   Ihsan Alnasrawi 2003-01-28 Lovely A great character piece, some personality in that stare. Nice choice of colours, and skin tone, and I love the drapery. It has a baroque feel to it. Great work!   Post a Comment
