Nice moody image. I really like the colors.

Beautiful work! I just happened upon your blog and find your paintings quite nice. I am wondering how you and others are able to render the body and face so well from the imagination. Does it take years of studying the figure or is it a talent you either have or don't have?

...an aspiring artist.

I'm so jealous of your colors!

Let me guess..... Gary Kelley? It's a beautiful start Shelly. And though I'm sure you're just being humble, I take comfort in the notion that you're a slow painter. :P

Whoa, I typed too fast and didn't see that you said Mead Schaeffer. He's a favorite of mine too (out of many)! I have some old magazine clippings of his too. If I find them I'll scan them and show'm some time. :)

With these kind of results does anyone care about speed?
Very nice, very subtle, and very "storytelling"!

1.) Mead Schaffer rocks

2.) I saw your Tor cover on Irene's blog and it was excellent. It would be a heck of a treat to see it all biggie-sized!

Keep making us all look bad, okay? :)
