Djinn, originally uploaded by Lady Rowyn.

This is a marker-piece I started ... a long time ago. Eighteen months? I worked on it sporadically for a really long time, and eventually pronounced it done in October. "Done" here meaning "It's never getting any better and I'm sick of working on it". I tried to give the original to terrycloth as a birthday present, but failed. I will probably try again. Bringing a frame next time, so that I won't store it in my sketchbook for safekeeping after showing it to him and then taking it home with me by accident. Well, unframed artwork just gets destroyed anyway.

This very much has the flavor of a 40's or 50's sf/fantasy illustration. I like it.

I hadn't thought of that before, but I see your point. :) Thank you!

I love the wings (of course) and the tail. You've really done a terrific job with the background detail, too. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! It's always easier for me to see what's wrong, but with time I like it better and the problems are less glaring. :)

Thanks! Maybe I'll bring a print of it for the RoomCon artshow. :)

Great work! You did a very nice job on the coloring, the flesh colors especially.
