Dilla

This is the third in a series of my most recent digital works. This is a fantasy piece, not having any real connections with the Malay world... The costume was based on that of one of the indegenous tribes in Borneo (I cannot say which)... See any similarities between Dilla and any of the other works here? Note to the Elfwood Moderators: This piece was created using photos from my own collection - no copyright issues here... This is an ORIGINAL work.

Jan 31 2003	Tyler	A very well done piece. I enjoy the the way that you have used little "dots" of colour, built upon the others to create depth. Your use of lighting has given this work an interesting illusion, i.e. from far away she is in focus. From closer up, she becomes a little fuzzy. Good work. I hope that you will share other works of this type with the world.
Mar 20 2003	Larmin Dwuinegingertom84@yah...com> <	That lady is really, seriously sweet looking. I mean real SWEET! Enough to get me drooling but not turning me into a barbarian. :P No offense but.... phew... the more I look at her the more I wanna date her... Is that your wife? Oooopsiieee.... No offense okey.... I draw & write fantasy too... I hope we could exchange ideas... I'm from KL, a chinese boy here. I'm basing my world on oriental motives too. I do hope we could create something together... Hear u soon...
May 20 2003	pagan	I think this is a really lovely picture and it takes a lot to impress me but this picture definitely does!!!!
May 30 2003	Elfwood artist: Joellena S. 'azul' Asher	Excellent use of color, and a great composition. The digital interpretation enhances this beautiful pic. Very nice.
Jun 27 2003	Rick Ryan	Did u actually draw this or did u scan in a photo and alter it in photoshop?
Nov 20 2004	Elfwood artist: Matthew Jarvis Hockaday	This is my favorite peice of yours..its too bad you didn't paint it...although its a nice digital picture.

The Duel

As the title suggests, this was the deadly duel between Daena and Rian, which very nearly resulted in the latter's demise, if it wasn't for her brother. This is quite a new concept for me, as I usually draw things first and make up a story later... Perhaps I just wanted to give some picture of what it was like!

Oct 14 2000	Elfwood artist: Troy L. Megli, (Click here to visit!)	Great movement! I didn't realize that Rian was so much smaller though. Technical error! I hate it when these things happen. Actually, I had not intended on a background for this pic, that's how come Rian looks really small! But try thinking of it this way: Rian is far off in the background!
Nov 5 2000	Elfwood artist: Joellena S. 'azul' Asher, (Click here to visit!)	fabulous details (as always, do i say this too often?) and outside of the technical difficulties previously noted a really ripping pic! much more movement on the part of your human characters than i'm used to seeing. very nice. Perhaps I should make more of these? What do you think, Azul?
Nov 7 2000	Michael	I simple trick to cure the size problem: You should sacrifice some part of the left leg by moving that tree up in front (covering the leg) that shoulf solve the problem. Thank you, Micheal. I'll see what I can do about that.
Nov 7 2000	Elfwood artist: Joellena S. 'azul' Asher, (Click here to visit!)	oh yes make more! not only will you eventually work out the technical stuff but it's more eye-candy for the rest of us in the mean time.
Jan 20 2001	Elfwood artist: Laura Rhoades-Stovall, (Click here to visit!)	I just can not think of what to say..this is soo well done!!
Feb 24 2001	Elfwood artist: Jessica 'Deca' Lamb, (Click here to visit!)	It looks more like two different pictures... It just doesn't look like they're fighting each other... Oh well it's very nicely drawn though, you're very good at drawing people!
Apr 7 2001	Elfwood artist: John Teall, (Click here to visit!)	yes the 'smaller' figure does appear simply that much further away which is what i immagined in the first place - though what exactly the closer figure is doing and why remains a bit puzzling - (being massively ignorant of edged weapon tactics as i am ... ~;)
Oct 24 2001	Elfwood artist: Saul Wilcox	I have a secret love for fighters with two swords, and the pose is really good...I guess the other character looks a little small but it's still a very good drawing! Well done, could do with some solid shading on it.
Jan 2 2003	EL-Sheh-To	Rain seems somewhat feeble near this armored woMAN.
Apr 1 2004	The Wise	Great pic. Very cool.

Faryna

This is a picture of Faryna, a warrior in one of my unpublished, untitled short stories. She is a cavalry commander and is armed with a lethal battleaxe. She has light armour on, consisting of chainmail and plate armour.

Apr 10 2000	Elfwood artist: Christine Osborne, (Click here to visit!)	Well from what I can see it looks really good, but it's way WAY too small!!!
Apr 14 2000	Elfwood artist: Troy L. Megli, (Click here to visit!)	she looks like she's just been in a battle or that the armour is really heavy... maybe both? the detail work is just Superb!
Apr 14 2000	-Alang-	I thought I have changed this one to a larger version... Well, have to do it again! Sorry for the inconvenience!
Apr 15 2000	-Alang-	I did!
Aug 26 2000	jakemp	I like the pic but why does she have a low cut breastplate? make it higher and put a helmet in somewhere? Face seems odd too... not sure what
Jan 3 2001	Elfwood artist: Melissa A Hitchcock, (Click here to visit!)	I think it's more the proportions that are a bit ascew. Unless she only stands 4 feet tall her body does need to be larger. Nice details and rendering on that armor!
Feb 13 2001	pit	That's very funny! My name is FARYNA but unfortunately I am not a warrior. I wonder - how did you find the name? and of course I would like to know your stories about ? "me". Furthermore, I like the picture however the face is rather underdone.
Apr 7 2001	Elfwood artist: John Teall, (Click here to visit!)	normaly there is a problem with that combination but this version of it might very well work just fine ... depending on how it assembles and how much it can dissassemble to come off ... ~;)
Jul 31 2001	Kaiseecool142@hot...com> <	"Mumma told me coffee stunted yer growth. And now I gots proof!" Fascinating detail work, I enjoy your art.
Jun 27 2003	Rick Ryan	It's quite a good pic although it looks a bit out of proportion to me, the body looks a bit too small for the head.
