SciFi and Fantasy Art Cold Comfort by Ellen ´the Alaskan´ Million


	I am a huuuuge fan of drawing on this colored paper. This is an illustration for my snow-unicorn/Torn World stuff. Not sure how it will work into the plots; just started doodling and this is what happened. I was trying to stay away from my dependency on lines, per Ursula's art_challenge at livejournal. Derwent pencils and prismacolor white on MiTentes.

15 Apr 2003	Olutoyin Fayemi	Loading... Nice work with the pencils. The scene is very eerie. I agree with the above poster, it reminds me of 2 people trying to console each other before the freeze to death. Don't know if that's what you meant, but it's a great pic either way.
15 Apr 2003	Ruth Hagerty	Loading... Freezing to death... exactly my idea of a romantic evening. Tis really good pencils.
15 Apr 2003	Carolyn Anderson	Loading... wow, its so sweet and peaceful... Sigh*
16 Apr 2003	Cathy Buburuz <cathyartist@hot...c	Loading... I love this one, Ellen. It looks so highly textured. Whenever I see art I like, it inspires me to write a story. Thanks for sharing
26 Apr 2003	Erin Stevenson O'Connor	Loading... I really gotta try the white pencils on colored paper thing -- I love the light effect you've made here. Good composition too.
4 Aug 2003	Marco Müller	Loading... This picture looks cool and it is a very unique and moody piece of artwork. I like how you made the moon that bright and standing out. Coloured paper is a very beautiful medium because you can add shadows and even highlight parts of the drawing (which is much harder to do with a white paper)... this leads to greater depth in the picture. I should drive to a larger city and try to get a white pencil, too. =)
18 Nov 2003	McDonalds happy meal:)	Loading... Freezing to death w/ your baby, that's sad!
14 Jan 2004	Cristina Marsi	Loading... Awesome painting I love the colour, or better, the lack of colour in it, which gives it its peculiar mood. I only regret it is not a bit larger, would like to see details better
16 Dec 2004	Jenny M. Heidewald	Loading... Yay for Mi-teint paper! This is so sad I hope someone finds them and rescues them! I love the moon BTW.
