| Date | Name | Comment | | | 13 Sep 2002 |  Earl |  Loading...Druids are closer to nature than any other creatures. You captured this essence really well with the thin and abnormally long body along with the markings and a more natural way of dress. Don't let any one tell you that it's offensive, it's great. Keep it up.  Andrew P. Morris replies: "Thanks for commenting! You are of course correct. Druids are close to nature and do not live under false modesty." | |
| 21 Feb 2003 | Natasha Xiao Zhong | Loading... I agree with the whole close to nature and no false modesty thing and all, but I have to wonder if she gets cold at all like that.  sorry, just curious. Andrew P. Morris replies: "Heh heh heh... I bet she would if it was winter! ~A" | |
| 7 Jun 2003 | Anonymous | Loading... She gorgeous and classicly celtic, love it! Andrew P. Morris replies: "I am glad you like it, that celtic-look is what I was trying for. ~A" | |
| 15 Aug 2003 | Cowboy | Loading... First off I think its beautiful, but second I would like to add that she looks a bit to skinny to me, past the point of anorexia. Is she malnourished or is that just your style. Sorry not complaining or criticising. Andrew P. Morris replies: "Thank-you for commenting. As far as the skinny look goes, most of that is part stylistic and porportional nonsense on my part and part the fact that she is supposed to be thin, sweat lodges, fasting and all that kind of shamanistic/Druidic thing. ~A" | |
| 18 Sep 2003 | Torque | Loading... i do not like this picture much. There is not much to show off so why did you make here topless. | |
| 30 Sep 2003 | Anonymous | Loading... She's topless because the Celtic warriors generally didn't wear much, a few of the guys even fought wearing nothing but blue paint. Andrew P. Morris replies: "Thank-you for commenting. I could not have put it better myself. ~A" | |
| 18 Oct 2004 | Coirbidh | Loading... Oh, and I just noticed the sword hilt (probably a falchion), bronze spear, and torq also accurate pieces. I like it even MORE now. *smile* You must have a bit of knowledge about the people. *wink* Again, very nice. Andrew P. Morris replies: "Coirbidh, Thanks for commenting. I always enjoy knowing at least a little about what I am drawing. No attempt at real world accuracy was made here (tho I believe there are accounts by the Romans of bare chested Celtic women charging into battle). While Kelsi is a Druid, she is from a completely different world… Her clan lives in the Trollstone Mountains, north of the great City of Ravenia. These clans fight hard against the oppression of the "Mad Theocrat"; refusing to give up their freedom or their beliefs, they trade with Ravenia and ally with them against their common enemy. In Kelsi's world the clans themselves designed the kilt and the septs as part of their clan identy.Another point to make is the Scottish kilt, or philabeg to use its older Gaelic name, that has now become the standard dress for all "Highlanders" in popular imagination, has its origin in an older garment called the belted plaid. The Gaelic word for tartan is breacan, meaning partially colored or speckled, and every tartan today features a multicolored arrangement of stripes and checks. These patterns, or septs, are used to identify the clan, family, or regiment with which the wearer is associated. It is generally recognized that the first tartans were the result of individual weavers own designs, then were slowly adopted to identify individual districts, then finally clans and families. The first recognizable effort to enforce uniformity throughout an entire clan was in 1618, when Sir Robert Gordon of Gordonstoun, wrote to Murry of Pulrossie requesting that he bring the plaids worn by his men into "harmony with that of his other septs."Good eye on catching the falchion and the torq. Bronze is the metal of choice in Kelsi’s area because both copper and tin are in abundant supply in the Trollstone Mountains. However, iron is a bit harder to find and must be imported, thus it is only used for sword blades. Cheers, Andrew" | |
| 18 Oct 2004 | Coirbidh | Loading... I love Picti. Nice to see a well done one. Although I would have to agree with other comments, she is a bit skinny, yet still nothing to scoff at. Besides she might turn you into a toad or something if you did. Very nice woad, although you are correct, it is not accurate to the time period of druids on Earth, but hey, she is from a fantasy world so... Love the kilt, that could be very accurate since the Picti were assimilated by the Scots and they, for the most part, lived in harmony with each other. | |
| 12 Nov 2004 | Traveller | Loading... Heh! I like her! The feeling the picture gives off is great, to me it really is mystic...! It's really great! Oh by the way, her thinness fits perfectly, she's got a slightly elongated figure if you know what I mean, but that's awesome!) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hello, mysterious traveler… thank-you for commenting. I am glad you enjoy this piece so much she is a lot of fun to draw and to play, particularly in the more 'civilized' areas of our world. Her figure is slim see some of my replies to previous comments about that. Cheers, ~A" | |
| 24 Mar 2008 | David "Simple" Auer | Loading... Nicely shaded peaks. The tattoos should be good for a spell, but she better stay athletic or they will sag right awful. I like her tartan. I like her knees. Well done. | |
