Sepia Queen

You’re quick on the draw Care, Once I had it uploaded all I did was turn off the main computer and walk upstairs and there was your comment.
Thank you.

lol…I was a bit quick of the mark….
your welcome : )

This is exquisitely beautiful, truly, I am stunned….. ~S

beautiful drawing simon… must’ve been a beautiful person who’s inspired you… very sophisticated, peaceful, and seductively feminine vibe…
ditto care – look forward to colored version…
: )

This is something which was a practice piece? My god, you obviously dont realise how talented you are, stunning work S, your lady is beautiful, such brilliant detailing, I also shall look forward to the colour version, way to go S :)

visually captivating…love the tiny eyebrows and tiny eyelashes…she’s delicate and powerful. All angular beauty and feathery accoutrement. Rendered, per your usual, in unmatched detail.

Beautiful work – it will look great in colour!

That looks great! Love the detail and shading, can’t wait to see the coloured version! :)

your talent screams… even in this seductively quite hearftfelt illustration…...... great work S…......b

Beautiful work.

Perfect…...

Well as the saying goes…. This proves it so
Practice makes Perfect
Nicely detailed

Excellent work, Simon. I see you have been creatively busy in my abscence.

ahhh… i see… two letters… one wrapped around the other… beautiful simon… : )

Beautiful work Simon! I like how the helm flows into hair. I’m sure she wouldn’t be fighting with this on though, all those sharp pointy things would gouge out her eyes in the first blow :)

Love it man!

Love that last line… “This is PROGRESS!” Yessir, got a good belly laugh from that. Thanks!

COMPLETELY SEXY.

this is amazing S! she must mean something to you, there is so much beauty and gentleness in her face.

Such beautiful artwork…very well done…

i have to say… this is one of the most beautiful things i have seen on here! wow!

you are seriously welcome!!! good talent deserves praise

This is excellent! Love what you did here, free flowing works well for you!

I think most of my work is free flow I rarely plan a piece it just happens lol I try to plan at times but they usually take their own course = )

great image and concept i like this alot well done TYF lookiung forward to seeing more like this in the future. good work my friend.

such beautiful work :) xXx

what a awesome illustration, with the amount of detail you can see in this it would’ve taken forever to draw, well done

stunning work!

Amazing

Beautiful and very peaceful. Sometimes if you’ve not done something for a while then try and get back into it again the you’re likely to get a nice surprise. I gave up on drawing for a few years (personal reasons) then one day I started picking up the pencils and brushes and now I have a stack of stuff that I didn’t know what to do with ….. so I stuck some of it on Bubble!

Yep, i just had another little break and I got this lovely new paper so I’m ready to give it t’it as soon as an idea hits me. Thanks, keep uploading.

I love it!!! Simon, you are an amazing talent and I truly love your work. You inspire me to spend more time drawing. Thank you! :)
Hey, I’m watching the History Channel and they are showing the whiskey distilleries and how they make whiskey in Ireland. Pretty awesome,

cool…

nice i like this one

beautiful image

Stunning! You inspire me to get my graphite out. Your work is exquisite

Hi Simon,
Your Sepia Queen is indeed my favourite work amongst your portfolio here on RB, perhaps it’s because I have a fondness for the feminine and goddess.

Your other works and this particularly demonstrates your fine eye.
You are an accomplished graphite artist and this work shows great technical skill.

Reading your thoughts on this shows honesty and I do believe some works “just happen!” You do not need to write great asides to accompany them, and nor do you have to play at being a wordsmith…just as long as you write what you feel, its genuineness should be enough to transfer it itself to your audience.

I love the softness and femininity combined with the hard metal sharp edged mask… those protrusions pointed towards the most delicate and vulnerable part – could go on but will leave it there.

Congratulations on a beautiful piece.
I look forward to seeing the coloured version of this, however i would much prefer to see a series of these and its concepts carried through.
All the best.
Patricia

Wow thank you. The coloured version’s on hold til I figure out a good way of colouring things. And finish what I’m on without starting something new. I just love the drawing phase the most, the PS I could take or leave.
I started with my love’s eyebrow and stopped before I got proper accuracy cos it looked ok, the rest of the drawing came together after that.
I hadn’t really thought about it but the protrusions pointed towards the most delicate and vulnerable part concept, when I find the thoughts that went into it they seem to be from something deep and primal in me. I dunno. Thanks for getting me to think about it.

Hi Simon, glad i checked back with you here as i was not too sure you replied as you did not hit the reply to perugina’s comment button… as you have done with others. LOL Perhaps you were totally surprised by my thoughts…and i can get carried away sometimes…and now you know why it takes me so long to get around to all. Tee hee hee

I do see this could have been borne from something deep and primal it has those qualities which are most evident, perhaps deep in your subconscious – have a think and perhaps this will be a spring board for future works.
I enjoy dialogue like this.
:)

Wowww…..great work!!

Wonderful and creative!!

Its true your lucky if you have a natural talent & this is natural talent not luck!!
