(2005) 11"x13", Pencil on paper.

Self portrait with a few alterations. The celtic knotwork dress and the pose are inspired by a painting by William Cowper.

Gorgeous detail!

I really like the fact that you used Cowper's "Vanity" as the basis for this drawing. The whole feeling of the painting fits so well with the character of Eleanor Sartorius. I simply love the style of the pre-raphaelite painters.

It's also really easy to see the similarities between your own features and the features of her character. She is a powerful woman indeed!

Thanks so much! In fact in the handfasting chapter in "Legacy" that's the image I had in mind when I described her get-up and her wedding gown.

This is magnificent, brilliant even. Wow. :+fav:

I tried my hand at drawing once ... All of mine were, let's say, extremely underwhelming.
