Lady Felidae by @whitefantom (Jennifer Pitcock Doneske)
This is a completely redone version of an old piece I did (very clumsily, I might add) in watercolours, that one being titled Cat Lady. This one is done in Prismacolor pencils on dark green cardstock, and I'm considerably happier with it than I was with the older version.
I didn't really know much about her when I did that watercolor version back in 2001, and I don't know much more about her now. I knew then that she was a noble lady of some sort, and she seemed fairly friendly. As I did this version, I think I've discovered that she's a bit higher up than just a noble--maybe even a queen, though I'm not certain--and she's very haughty, proud, and stubborn. She's not bad, she just takes a bit of getting used to.
The 8.5" x 11" original of this is available for sale, and prints are availabe as well.
October 2004; Prismacolor pencils on green cardstock.
You have absolutely gorgeous coloring. O.O I am really, really impressed with how beautiful her hair is, it looks like I could reach in there and twist it around my fingers... though I think she might bite me if I did that. I mean, I'd bite anyone that would try to do that to me... er... Anyways. I love the border and her jewelry--the details in these pieces is just amazing! I am also impressed that you used colored paper--the effects of it are wonderful, especially the white highlights. It gives it such a dark, mysterious feel, and I really, really like this. :)
