Description Elves are healers of magical creatures, sure. Well, the cute or pretty ones anyway. If a big-eyed baby manticore gets orphaned, there are elves there before the first tear hits the ground. If a hippogriff gets a hangnail, elves will wait on it hand and foot until it's too fat to fly. And if a unicorn gets a stone in its hoof--dear lord, call out the national guard, there'll be elves peeling grapes and fetching pillows at all hours, the finest elven podiatrists will be called in, it's a crisis.*

But if a troll hurts itself? Yep, there's only one elf you call in then, our patient and long-suffering friend, Sings-to-Trees.
---

I can't leave that elf alone, man. And the sad troll...I gotta paint more sad trolls... *grin* Ah--Painter 7, intuos tablet, prints available, for $10 and $20, visit [link] if interested!


*At least one exceedingly clever warlord was known to exploit this tendency by turning a half-dozen unicorns with head-colds loose immediately before a battle, causing a total defection by the enemy as they all rushed to offer laps and hold hankies.

Darn those unicorns. X3 X3 Love your design for an ogre, too...only too many times you see them as semihuman lumbering lumps, I like your oxhorns and gill-ish lips better. Beautiful coloring and textures.

That elf is rather pretty, and I like the beast's expression.

surely you must form a pastiche of your world some day in whatever form it would suit you.. or maybe your secret coffeetable bookplans lack suitable hardbacking...

maybe some day, at your pace soon i fear...

There always seems to be loads of uncaring people in the world. Sure, everyone will help the cute children, but what about the elderly? Everyone wants to give a new fuzzy kitten a home, but what about the alley cats? By taking a new approach to an age-old virtue, normally reserved for saints and religious figures, Sings-to-Trees has won us all over. We should all learn how to be more like him.

I've been watching your art for some time now, and this just feels like a whole new level for you. Even though I'm older, I'd want to read Sings-to-Trees children's books because the story is so fascinating. I feel spellbound. I look forward to more adventures with Sings-to-Trees. Thank you for sharing him with all of us.

I suppose elves DO marry.
They're probably not into polygamy though, eh?
I guess that I'm just out of luck.
I shall have to love him from afar.

This is truly wonderful. <3 I really like this Sings-to-Trees character. I hope that maybe we will see more of him in the future. He seems so gentle and kindly. And the troll is fantastic. I've never seen such a cute troll in my life.

rainbowdragoness [2005-09-13 15:13:38 +0000 UTC]

awww this one is soo adorable, the poor dude looks as if he is about to burst into a fit of wails. but never fear cause if in need Sings to Trees is near.

i love the attention you gave to the trolls eyes they look very sheep/goat like which i find intriquing because you don't see that type of eye done very often

keep up the great work girl you are an awesome artist.

Have to agree, these do get better and more interesting as they go along. All hail Sings-To-Trees! Yup, the more personality comes out in these images the more I want to see a comic about him. Or maybe his own book with the images and the text you've written for him.

amazinggrace [2005-09-13 14:04:49 +0000 UTC]

Definitely my fave so far in the Sings-to-Trees series, made moreso by your humorous and tender text!! If these get any cuter, you'll have this old broad squealing and gushing like a pubescent fangirl --AG

I heartily agree with Athelind's point of view. I find myself wanting to share this image with some of the medical personnel of my husband's civilian ICU unit and military medical unit. Sings-to-Trees seems to be their kind of person.
