I like your works very much and that is one of the prettiest (apart from your mermaid art, ha, ha ). I love the realistic, yet still fantasy-themed pose of this young pirate. It reminds me of a game I'm a translator of, "Shadows of the Metal Age". Its main protagonist is very similar to yor heroine here, yet this lady has fair hair and pale skin, while Zaya is dark-haired and tanned
. But the main idea and style is similar. It's a pity you don't take commissions, do you? You're talented and such work could make a fantastic artwork. Cogratulations for doing such a good job!

The muted vintage-looking colours are really nice, and your style is great. She's recognizable as the original model, but still has a unique twist.

Wonderful! Her clothes are great! I want some like that. I like the detail like the daggers on her, especially the one at her leg. Another great piece!

I am very, very fortunate: I get to be a full time artist. I'm also raising and homeschooling two boys, but I get 6 to 10 hours to paint every single day. I finally started making enough money as an artist to quit my job last year--mind you, I'm not doing this alone, my husband works full time as well.

Holy smokes your lucky! must be doing well and painting 6 hours a day. What broke the ice and got the boom going for you one company or several?

I worked as an artist in the game industry for nine years before going out on my own. I don't even try for publication jobs, there is too much competition and I am too shy. I sell originals on ebay and sell prints at sci-fi and fantasy conventions.

I love the way it looks with the dark outlines. Isn't that knife on the inside of her thigh a bit too dangerous?

Wenchworks In reply to irinarichards [2007-07-27 15:23:54 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I wouldn't put a knife there in rl. But then, I wouldn't wear a corset top if I were a real pirate, either.

Ah, absolutely not! Imagine climbing into the crow's nest and trying to take a breather! But then again, you're a corset wearer so you're probably used to wearing one in any situation?..
