HELEN Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's been a while that I posted here, but I felt so bad abandoning this place. I will try to update this place once in a while. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your lovely comments. The latest pieces are projects that I did not too long ago. The Christmas one was a card that I did and the red-haired girl is a character from the books I illustrated. The falcon is actually a mascot for an elementary school.

barbieq25 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The Christmas one is such a cheery image. I like the falcon one - he's just so cool. Very cheeky! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Oh I love the Christmas one so much. That little red haired girl looks like she might be quite the character. I wonder who you based her on? the mascot is very cheeky as barbie says. great work nice to see you posting here once in awhile. I actually follow you more over on DA and PDN fanatics (look but don't often leave many comments, as when I do get around to actually looking at the galleries is about a month after your posts, just say I'm a bit behind) ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackpenny Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The little girl is so cute. And the mascot is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thank you all very much. @barbie: I actually received my own drawing as a Christmas card--that's what it was meant to be. Thank you! @oma: The character idea (red hair, big eyes, open mouth, small body) is from a French website for kids. Chifa's personality, however, was based on both the authors' ideas. @welshblue: Thank you. The Christmas card is 90% Paint.NET and the rest (shadows) was done in TBR Pro. The mascot was what I did for free for a person in North Carolina. @chrisco: Thank you. Glad you like 'em. @Heat Stroke: Thank you! :)ith the marketing in the future. @blackpenny: The girl's personality is cute, too. She's outgoing, adventurous, etc. I hope she becomes more known to kids.

barbieq25 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Helen, that is kinda bizarre - getting your own drawing but also a huge compliment! Spider is great & this is what I said on Fans: Well done on the spider. I like the shape of his legs. Very smooth & glossy. The yellow tips on his legs work great. He has great depth too with the darker legs at the back. Not overly keen on the yellow balls for his thorax & head. They remind me of lawn bowls. The reflection is well done & I like the spider web very much. Definitely the cutest spider I have seen, ever! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 as noted on Fans, I just love the Simple Elegance. It has lovely shapes & colours. The reflection & gloss is great. I like the little bit of a pattern in the colour part. They remind me of some vases that have like a clear bit in that shape. They are very elegant! Love seeing your glossies & they usually come in a variety of colours. I really like that Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Possum Roadkill Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I really enjoyed seeing your art back on here Helen !

AmadeusX Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Lovely pictures Helen! You know I always like them! Been a while since i was a active drawer. Now I don't have the time to be drawing 10 pictures every day. Have work + computer fixes, programming, music creations. And a life to catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) @Stone85: The reflection was a little difficult to do because I need a 3D program for that, but I did what I could. Thank you. @DarkShock: I missed you on this forum. It's my fault I haven't been here in a while. Glad you still like my work. Thanks. @Goon: Awww...thanks. That was nice of you! @barbie: When I was doing this piece, the shapes also reminded me of vases. I can't make up my mind with what colors to go with, so I usually post three different ones. @chrisco: Thanks, buddy. @heatstroke: Thank you! Not always easy to create something "simple." @Possum: I'll try to go here more often. It was a logo made by someone else (the head part only) and I had to put the bird on roller skates. @JulioCoolio: There's a lot of work that I made. You can also follow me on DA. Thanks. @mero: Thanks! @AmadeusX: Oh my gosh! I haven't talked to you in a while! Enjoy what you do, but don't forget about PDN. I know that you created very nice works with it.
