Scanned art, no less!! Largish files.



Sickeningly cute, I'm afraid. Jake gakked, and I knew I'd gotten what I was hoping to get... :P




The little gryphon on the left is the same guy from the next picture...




Fun with ink!!



Not real pleased with the overall look; I feel like this could definitely be more punchy. I also tried a really awful horrible glow-y effect on the horn of the near unicorn and hated it to pieces. Thank heavens for Photoshop.


Printer going, kids sleeping, pie baking, maybe shower time....

*sigh* I want to live in your world...

May I suggest adding a little something to the ring in the near snowy's nose? Right now it's definitely there, but it's, well, completely flat, which detracts from that side of the piece.

Gah!!! I can't believe I forgot to color that....

Admirable suggestion. Thank you.

Ohhh these are very pretty.. your artwork is totally gorgeous! The snowys are so wonderful! I also like the random chunks/boards of ice in a couple of pics there! :)

Bootiful! You do such a wonderful job, Ellen...even when you think you don't. :P I love the hanging gryphon picture, and I think you did a great job on Bad Snowy. Pretty pretty.

Ooh, purty new Ellen art!

I love the first one; compositionally, it's rather strong, and it definately reaches out and grabs you with the "awwwww..." factor. The it throttles you somewhat.

I *love* the idea of the face in the cliff for the second picture. That's just brilliant, and so well done. I think that's my favorite.

Any your inking rocks, as always. I like the way you're able to capture actual *substance* with just a few lines. The sworls in the treebark are my favorite part, though.

I don't think I like the last one, however, that's probbably just a me personally thing. I'm not fond of much blue. The composition seems a bit forced, too, but there's a lot of overall motion and depth that's pretty interesting. It works well as an illustration, even if only to inspire stories that haven't been told yet.

::sighs:: I really am rather fond of your style.
