  2. Hey Karen! I love this so much!!! Fantastic angle and layout! Your textures and colors really make this pop! Very fairy taleish! You are so fantasic with detail and the human form.... those hands are amazing!! Glad you are having more time for yourself. I can feel the contentment and relaxed creativity coming through. Hey what happened to "Immovable". Was it moveable after all? :o)

  3. Thanks Jack, Monica and Andrea, ummmmmm, unfortunately I didn't have time for immovable unless I can speed paint and get it done tonight and tomorrow ;)...you never know. I'm trying to work on "fully fleshed pieces" right now and I find it hard to get them done in time for Illustration Friday unfortunately. I tend to rush for IF and not do my best work.

  5. Gee there I was wondering what is the pumpkin carriage doing in Alice in wonderland. Heh.

    This a good work Karen. I have a feeling it's one of your best. Dynamics and texture and the story icons just fit in with the flow.

    Superb.
    Good to have you 'back' on board.

    cheers

  7. thanks Laurel and Mika, happy to share!

    Andrew, thanks so much for all your support and for being such a great friend. Love the play on words, he,he,he, you crack me up! I was just watching a movie that was made in Australia and it just "looked" hot! I'd probably melt there, it only reaches the low 90's here and I don't want to go outside.

  8. Karen! Wow, where have I been? I'm so sorry for the delay -this is an amazing series of posts...I really, really like the composition and how you've added the touches that bring this piece together so splendidly. I tell you - you take risks, and this worked wonderfully..you should be very proud. I love the texture on the clock face - and you did a great job with the carriage having it sit on the face as so. Well done..and I concur..it's great to have you back working so diligently and sharing your wonderful work with us. Hope you're feeling well!

  30. Hi Karen. Well, finally the result is magnificent. I always say that I like to see an illustration process, almost more than the final result. (Anyway I like to see the finished work) but I think there is nothing like seeing the process of learning. Thank you very much.
