The Hollies - Colored Pencil
Hi, everyone! This is one of my favorite pieces of Narnia fan art that I've done. I hope you like it!
This link leads to the artwork on my deviantART gallery:

"... shock-headed hollies (dark themselves, but their wives all bright with berries)..."

I know I commented way back when on dA, but I love this piece. It's so dryad-y and the details, sharp fingers and leaves in their hair, are beautiful.

They definitely don't fit in with my imagination of a dryad, but I must say that you have an excellent eye for detail. Every line, every feature, every muscle and facial expression is masterfully done. Congratulations on a job well done.

Oh, fun Kelila! I don't think I pictured them quite that human, but it's your interpretation, and it's very sweet.
P.S. I was poking around your deviantART site and I LOVE your sculpty figures! They're really good.

Very well done! I actually really do liket the colors. You sure have an imagination. I would think they'd be bigger, but your version is still wonderful! Great detailing, like has already been said, and your proportions are amazing! I think you should definetly try more tree-dryads!

Re: The Hollies - Colored Pencil
Good work! The skin colour resembles tree trunks, and the eyes are beautiful. I have always imagined their hair bigger (longer and with more volume) but your version is pretty and cute.
Edit: And what I really like is that you did it completely out of the book!

Re: The Hollies - Colored Pencil
Haha, Meltintalle, I didn't know you were a Narniawebber. Awesome.
DiGoRyKiRkE, thank you very much. I don't think there's any "right" way to depict Narnians, since Lewis left so much to the imagination, but I tried my best.
Aravanna, thanks for taking a look at my gallery. I'm glad you liked it.
The hair and the textures are what took the most time to draw, especially the hair, since I had to do each leaf individually. Thanks to you all for taking a look!

Oh, I like that so much. They look very light and alive and like they enjoy life.
The hair is especially briliant.

Re: The Hollies - Colored Pencil
Thanks for the comments, everyone. I think that Lewis left a lot open to interpretation, and he didn't provide detailed descriptions of the races, so a lot is left to the imagination. This just happens to be mine.
