I decided to post this in a separate thread so that if anyone else wanted to jump on the "roman priestess" bandwagon we could keep everything together.

The other thread is looking to get pretty messy with all the abducted mooseys and mechs and whatnot.

Click the abducted moose to visit the other thread

Anyone that posts their own please let me know if I can use it for my site when it's up. Each artist will hopefully have their own gallery when I'm done.

Here's mine...

Oh my, that's lovely! There's definatly a bit of an Enayla influence me thinx! She's got a bit of a princess leia look to her face, no offence or anything. The transparent ribbon (?) is a very nice touch, and you've done it well. My only suggestion is a little work on the eyes and mouth, to make it look more.. alive.

[edit] I type like a fool

It's one of the best pictures you've made so far, really =D

Jezebel · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 1:23 pm

neebhore - On the contrary I was reverting back to an older style of mine. I've been trying to draw things differently lately but I still haven't gotten over shiney purdy girls I s'pose. I guess lots of girls draw this way.

I'll take that as a compliment since people around here seem to love Enayla's art.

Thanks for the crit on the eyes and mouth... I'll try to fix that later tonight!

That's just beautiful.

[edit:]Just noticed something... seems like her ear is a little unfinished.

JEZEBEL: Fair enough, I haven't been here long, so the first style i saw like that was enayla's, so naturally i thought... i'm sorry.

I just then noticed the ear too!

[edit] i'm doing it again...

omg! hahahha! I forgot her ear! I am such a moron... *sheepishly goes back into photoshop*

Thanks for pointing that out... hehehe...

neebhore - No need for apologies at all! I think that a lot of girls have similar styles. Look at socar myles and merekat as well. Even compare the cartoony styles of jenn and ivy, they tend to be very cute looking. I think as a guy it's easy to see most girls' styles as being very similar to one another. Just like a lot of guys tend to draw the same way

But whenever I look at the artwork done by the ladies of the forum I tend to see how different they are. But then I'm a girl, lol

ReSistanZ · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 2:48 pm

OK, fix the ear!

And I don't really like the looks of her right eye, the angle is really wrong. You drew her eye flat, from the front, which is not the perspective of the picture. Hope you understand what I mean.
I really loooooove the rest of the image, because of the eye the pic is near perfection!

Really; fix the eye and this is THE pic.

very nice chick, Jez... I like it babe!

TheMilkMan · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 4:18 pm

Damn that looks good jez!!!!

pixualize · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 7:21 pm

Well done, Jez! Wonderful colors.

Do more like this one! Maybe from the other side - how about a Gaul/druid priestess as a matched set?

Jezebel · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 5:44 am

Well it's just typical that if I make a themed post that nobody participates, lol. I thought this would be a unique theme that people could do very quickly and get good practice out of. Shows what I know

Lukias - So many people have mentioned the Princess Leia thing. Pure coincidence

ReSistanZ - Thanks for the crit Rez. I said I would fix the ear yesterday but I'm doing it now, hehe. I still can't believe I left it like that

y@ - Thanks!

TMM - Thanks to you as well

pixualize - Druid priestess... I really like that idea. *goes to add it to her list of themes* Thanks.

Nice work on the priestess, Jezebel. I don't remember ever seeing all that much of your artwork, but that's probably just me, though. Actually, I started a roman priestess last night, but it turned into mush after an hour or so. One alt-backspace later, and it's a block of solid color now.

zenonithus · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 9:24 am

Nice! She kinda looks like Princess Leia.

Jezebel · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 10:23 am

I fixed the ear, hehe... I should have done it right away but I got lazy. REALLY lazy considering it's only a 2 minute fix

Sedone - Ooooh... well I hope you start working on it again. I bet it will turn out lovely. As for not seeing much of my work, I've been trying to post more lately but usually I don't complete anything that I feel is worth showing off. Lots of my work finds it's way to the recycle bin pretty quickly.

zenonithus - Yeesh... this princess Leia thing is bizarre. Especially since I've never even seen any of the original Star Wars movies. *runs from the angry mob of stone-throwing Star Wars fans* Don't ask why, there is no reason... just never saw it. Saw bits and pieces of course, but never an entire movie. *plucks a rock from the back of her head and continues running*

neebhore · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 10:33 am

The ear looks fine, except it's a bit of a dodgy angle, and i'm not sure roman priestesses would have their ears pierced.

I'm just being a bitch now.

Striker · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 10:39 am

hmmm.. the neck is the only part I have a problem with, other than that its a great image

Akolyte · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 12:14 pm

Cool, but maybe adding a bit of underlighting behind the hair in the back would give it some more depth? Seems kinda flat in that area...why dont you do this stuff at PaintChat? This is cool

Jezebel · Posted: Wed May 16, 2001 4:10 pm

neebhore - Lol... actually from what I've read the ancient greeks/romans loved to wear all sorts of jewelry. But you're right, I'm nt sure an "priestess" would, but I don't see why not. Maybe this priestess likes breaking the rules

Striker - Yeah, I got a little sloppy around the neck area

But I'm glad you like it otherwise!

Ako - Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can try to play up that idea a little later

Jezebel · Posted: Thu May 17, 2001 4:37 am

lol, I guess nobody else is going to try and do one?

What about any priestess? Not just Roman, hehehe.

Dives · Posted: Thu May 17, 2001 7:29 am

all i have to say is ENAYLAish

neebhore · Posted: Thu May 17, 2001 7:56 am

^ It's been said.. and i had my arse kicked for it

.
JEZEBEL: Likes to break the rules, hehe. I'll have a go at a priestess...it won't be very good though..or very soon!

pixualize · Posted: Sat May 19, 2001 8:20 pm

Since you had posted we could do something other than Roman I decided to have a go at painting a Celtic/Pagan priestess in the middle of a Beltane ritual since it's the "Lusty Month of May".

v1510nAry · Posted: Sat May 19, 2001 11:22 pm

hehe, thats pretty sw33t pixualize..

Aye I do see an Enayla touch, with the hair

Tis a great picture Jezebel ...

Rinaldo · Posted: Sat May 19, 2001 11:37 pm

spooge demon · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 2:23 am

It's a velevet painting of a cross between Tosca and Jezebels priestess.

Yes, the ear is up there on purpose

Bg · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 4:35 am

Fantastic pic spooge!!!

Jezebel · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 7:04 am

*blinks*

Wow, my thread got cool!

Thanks everyone, these all look wonderful... wow. Now I have to do another one :P

Enayla · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 9:38 am

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I'm tired and in a rather bad mood (I hate ICQ now...Grrr...) so I'll take a second look at it tomorrow and decide.

Frost · Posted: Sun May 20, 2001 10:11 am

Nice pics Jezebel. Very nice.

Craig: Nice mixture of matte and almost pure reflective in the same scene. Always a nice and interesting choice of colors too.
