May 10 2000 Elfwood artist: Tory A. Chang, (Click here to visit!)Wow, nice! I love the detail on the swords. No- don't tell me, let me guess... ::takes a guess that probably isn't right:: Watercolor pencil?
May 22 2000 Elfwood artist: Colin L. Martel, (Click here to visit!)I like the colors on this one! i never got good at watercolor myself... me like!
Oct 15 2000 Elfwood artist: Eliza M Leahy, (Click here to visit!)You do these watercolours (they are watercolors?) very well!

Yes, dear, they are watercolours!
Nov 8 2000 Elfwood artist: Tracey Nicole Peart, (Click here to visit!)What can I say but congrats! I think she's perfect.

Why, thank you, Tracey. I too, think that she looks better this way, but the whole figure seems rather a disappointment.
Dec 11 2000 Elfwood artist: Christiaan, A.Iken, (Click here to visit!)this is really a great pic , a double sword on the back is really a nice touch. making her someone to really watch out for. its also a nice compositional peice and her body leaning forward is nice too


Thanks Chris, I'm glad you like it. I'm working on another portrait of Daena in her new organic armour... *ooops* [I'm not going to say anything more until I update my Chronicles, heh, heh, heh...]
Dec 22 2000 Elfwood artist: James V. (JV) Needham, Jr., (Click here to visit!)She is beautiful! I love the watercolor, and the detail on the armour is impressive. I am duly impressed.
Feb 18 2002 Elfwood artist: Vincent N. Darlage Fantastic and beautiful artwork! I like this a lot.
Apr 13 2002 Elfwood artist: Toni Svenström wow, looks like it could be a frame capture from a movie. It really feels alive.
Oct 26 2004 Daena Gee i think she is great. Its strange to see someone else with my name though. She's a very strong character and i admire that. your handy work with a paintbrush is just awesome too. thank you! She is a tribute to the name! By the way if you ever want to find out what our name means give me a shout.
she great.... don't stop now!!!

Daena in chitonium armour


This is a rendering of Sor-Hahn's sweetheart in her new chitonium (organic) armour. The armour is actually a symbiotic organism that could be ordered to appear and disappear anytime, anywhere, by the wearer/host. Daena got it from Xefaer, during the time he kidnapped and mentally tortured her. Also note that Daena is wielding her hereditary weapons, the Seri Jentayu (blue) and Seri Garuda (red).

Dec 20 2000 Elfwood artist: Kim Van Gampelaere, (Click here to visit!)Oh yeah! She roxxx! My god, awesome use of color. Ten thumbs up ^-^ Excellent pose too! For sure one of my favo's now. Hubba hubba ^-^
Dec 20 2000 Elfwood artist: Christiaan, A.Iken, (Click here to visit!)nice complimentary colours here . i like ur new colour work.could u email me the extranet url by mail, im on a strange new computer and lost the adress.
Dec 21 2000 Elfwood artist: Troy L. Megli, (Click here to visit!)Holy .......!!!!! This is by far your best color work my friend! I'm truly impressed with this! WOW! Not to mention the fact that she's incredibly beautiful wearing that awesome suit of hers! *whistles* : )
Dec 21 2000 Elfwood artist: Richard Thomas Lankes, (Click here to visit!)The armour is incredible! The detail, the shading and contrast. The swords. They are so opposite yet compatible to one another. You know what? They should have used her rather than Darth Maul in Episode One of the Star Wars Saga. I know I would rather watch her!
Dec 31 2000 Elfwood artist: Eliza M Leahy, (Click here to visit!)I love the bright colours and the detail. It's a great character sketch.
Jan 7 2001 Elfwood artist: Gin May, (Click here to visit!)The watercolors are lovely, and the armor beautifully detailed. I also like how her proportions are fairly realistic. However I think you could have done without the bright spot you photoshopped there. Either that or made it less bright and attention drawing.
Jan 22 2001 Elfwood artist: Ayizi Sel, (Click here to visit!)I appreciate the almost abstract deal of the background, a dreamy ground on which the reality of the figure is more strong.
Jan 31 2001 Elfwood artist: Bethany L. Kosinski, (Click here to visit!)ohhh, I LIKE this one! Is this watercolor? Anyway,I really like the detail on the armor, how the scales (Are they scales?) overlap. Very well done.
Mar 1 2001 Elfwood artist: Deborah L. R. Dixon, (Click here to visit!)Great armor. Beautiful intensity in the colors.
Mar 5 2001 Elfwood artist: Richard Bergqvist, (Click here to visit!)oh man... this i like... i so would like to be able to color MY drawings... this is great - very good detail to be in watercolor (it is right?). awesome pose and background, and the armor and swords are totally kick-ass too!
Mar 21 2001 Elfwood artist: Isca Kotraseva aka Tasha Lox, (Click here to visit!)Wow, I love the colouring here, especially the out-of-focus background. Wonderful work!
Jun 14 2001 Elfwood artist: Martha Elizabeth Cundiff I'd have to say the armour and the background are my favorite parts of this pic. And I wouldn't mind having that weopan. Heheh. Youv'e done an awesome job with the colors.
Nov 19 2001 Elfwood artist: Nyla Lewis Very good art work you did, I love the colors they are great. You are very talented!
Feb 18 2002 Elfwood artist: Vincent N. Darlage Wow! The detail is magnificent, and the picture as a whole is fantastic. My jaw gaped open when I saw this. This is unbelievable work. You are exceptionally talented and gifted.
Feb 2 2003 Elfwood artist: William A. Clayton The colors and textures are fantastic in this work. Add to that the lighting and magical subject matter, well, quite a masterful work of Art!
Jun 27 2003 Rick Ryan The face looks like it's been squashed flat or somethingbut other than that I think the rest of the pic is good though i like the whole kind of mystical glow
Oct 5 2003 Elven princess of my world. WOW! I like all of it.
Spesh the background around the face!
Dec 24 2003 Anonymous This picture reminds me of Legends of Dragoon...It's cool art work though! AWESOME!
Sep 16 2005 renegade Wow i love organic armour

all stems from the symbiotes of spiderman

Red Angel of the Vanguard


This is Dardania, commander of the Crimson Vanguard of the Sanctuary. She is portrayed in her 'human' form (compared to 'Milya in her 'angelic' form). The weapon you see tucked into her belt is a keris (a really large one). More details on her in the latest addition of the Chronicles!

Dec 16 2000 Elfwood artist: Richard Thomas Lankes, (Click here to visit!)How do you get so much detail into your images???? This is alluring. Such a beautiful stare, it pulls you into her presence. The way she is standing is like a small tease. This image proves that Angels could be anybody, anywhere. Brillant!

Thanks, Richard. Glad you approved. As for the details, I don't know. I just like putting in details, I guess. But I couldn't get more of it, though. The original was on A4 paper!
Dec 16 2000 Elfwood artist: Troy L. Megli, (Click here to visit!)Simply exquisite my friend! Truly "Angelic". I think my work would be very good if I were able to make figures 1/10th this beautiful!

I'm sure you will, my friend, I'm sure you will... some day. Perhaps even better that I could.
Dec 17 2000 Elfwood artist: William Li, (Click here to visit!)i like the influence of Malay culture in the design of her outfit. she looks royal to me :)

I try to put in bits and pieces of my culture into my works. Royal? I didn't count on that... really? Maybe it's the outfit.
Dec 18 2000 Elfwood artist: Christiaan, A.Iken, (Click here to visit!)uve really gone all out on the decorative costume, i really love the skirt how it drapes over her thighs and the beautiful decoration around the edge of teh skirt. the armour is beautifu, maybe not armour but whatever its beautiful. i think ur really getting beter. she is very graceful.

Well, it's actually not armour. The actual material is a long piece of cloth wound tightly around her stomach and chest.
Dec 28 2000 Elfwood artist: John (Hui) Li, (Click here to visit!)Lovely costume design.
Jan 30 2001 Elfwood artist: Kim Van Gampelaere, (Click here to visit!)Gracefull! You are so good in drawing outfits, so detailed. Good job on the shading too. Lovely.
May 25 2002 Elfwood writer: Claire Rachael Louise LaneThe detail here is supperb, amazing and wow!
I love the clothing here and she is very graceful in the way she is moving!
I approve 200%
May 26 2002 Elfwood artist: Linda GockWonderful detail, so neat and well shaded. I like the traditional influence to her costume.
Jun 29 2002 Elfwood artist: Marie-Claude MongeonThe costume design is gorgeous, and oh-so elegant! The details are stunning. Beautiful shading!
