I have an account on DeviantART where I post most of my art so I will just give you links to my Narnia-related art on there ^_^

Very nice! I especially like the one you did of Mr. Beaver! The brush strokes make it look like he has real fur. :)

Thanks. :)

By the way, how did you make the Beaver picture? By hand? Or on the computer? And what program did you use, if it was on the computer? :)

These are great, Star! :) I agree with Riella that Mr. Beaver has very realistic fur, especially where it lightens up around his cheeks, then becomes darker again and blends into his body. I like his charming expression too! ;;)

The gryphon is amazing as well! The proportions are so exact and the colouring is beautiful! I like the contrasting bodice against the mixed shades of the feathers. The details, particularly on the wings, face, and clawed feet are wonderful! Lovely work! :ymapplause:

p.s. I love your P&P avie...I adore that movie! :D Oh, and I kinda snuck around your DV page, to find such a sweet picture of your dog! So cute! ;))

Riella, haha it's hard to tell isn't it? That's because the answer is... both! I drew them with a paper and pencil and then did coloring, touch ups and effects on Photoshop.

Thanks for the comment Quin! I'm so happy you think it's good! :ymhug: I love P&P too!! I love the movie so much I am now reading the book. Hehe I love my doggy! ^_^

Thanks Aravanna! :D I am happy the personality came out I don't normallky do stuff like that!

Awesome drawings StarAsterisk! :D I really love the Gryphon! And like Quinlin said your proportions are great! :)
Mr. Beaver also looks Fantastic! :ymapplause:
I also really liked the way you colored them! :)
From experience I know it is not easy to color using photoshop (at least for me) you did a great job on the colors! :) :ymapplause:

Thank you 7chronicles! I have been coloring with Photoshop for a while so it's not that hard, but the way I do it is a lot different than, say, using crayons or something!
