Beautiful! I just love your style. The outlining makes it look like a photorealistic picture book illustration. Very good work, Athena!

Wow.. Athena, it's been ages since I saw your last graphite piece. Hey you didn't let me down... this is so beautiful! They look so in love, you really have capured that feeling! Doubtful-Della made a Brilliant choice!


of course!

Aww thanks hon. Since your pieces are considerably superlative to mine I am deeply honored that you say I've captured the feeling behind the piece; that's a great start! Now I will work on the realism...

Cuz I didn't want to. Wanted the people to be the focus, so I just added a hint of grass and wheat. ^__^

What a wonderful gift! I LOVE that dress. And you did a fantastic job with it! All the pintuck detail is excellent. And I love the way you added just some of the grass in front and behind. It's just the perfect touch. Outstanding work!

AthenaTT In reply to gramarye [2005-10-24 15:19:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you SO much for saying so... that dress gave me fits. Next to Parker's Bandana, it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to draw.

Woo hoo! I get points for giving you one of the hardest comissions! I really didn't expect you to get all that detail packed into the portrait. It just shows the amount of tallent you have packed into that little hand of yours!

When we go shopping everybody asks if we are sisters. And when she says that I'm her daughter they look at her funny because they say she doesn't look old enough to have a daughter my age

To be honest I thought that after all this time you'd have forgoten about it and I didn't want to bug you with it... I had no idea you were still interested... Is the offer still active?

Ah, it takes another artist to know what the problem areas probably were; yes that dress took awhile, I never knew how hard lace and the little tucks and folds in a white dress could be to draw!! Thank you so much for the comment about the hair; I try really hard to make it as natural as possible, it's an ongoing challenge.
