It reminds me of the Spaniard Posada's prints. Wonderful! Exciting! Full of passion!

another masterpiece Meli! your work is fantastic! excellent

I think that boy had better run as fast as I did here!!Wonderfull work Meli!Very impressive:-)Byeeeeeeeeeee calum

I know the Nibelungen saga from my schooldays and I love it still! Very impressive interpretation, Meli! Wonderful depth with your great chiaroscuro work!

What a creative mind you have.So many forms of art you are excellent at.

Fabulous work Meli! :D The picture, & story are great!

Well done for what it was you wanted to achieve. The feeling of tension is evident, as if the boy is wondering whether to run or to stand and fight.

i saw this alredy in the forum ;-) --yes i had a look at it - lol - and now as it is finished - wow - and now, meli, i had to tell you one thing, i dont want to hear from you that you are no artist again - hey, the anatomy of the hero (sigurd) is excellent - i am absolut speechless about that - wow - the whole composition is superb - very dramatic - and the dragon is also not too bad - meli you did a splendid fantasy illustration - i really would see this piece colored - this is more than excellent - and hey, i dont say that to make you compliments, i really mean it - this is superp - my hats up to you - congrats

Stupendo chiaroscuro Meli....!!! la scena ha un fantastico clima....!!!! mi piacciono i tuoi tratti forti ed assicurazioni sulla superficie della carta...!!!

Amazing Art..cool story to go with it too :-)

Mi piace molto Il punto di vista. E tutta la teknica usata nice my friend. :)

Brava Meli. Mi piace il tratto non troppo rifinito che lascia spazio all'immaginazione. La figura del ragazzo bellissima, dimostra che hai una bella padronanza della tecnica (che ti invidio) :-)

Ahhhh!! Enter the DRAGON! I love dragons!! This is totally awesome !!! I add this to my favorites!! Have you seen the movie "Dragon Heart"! If not you should! :)

A beautiful scene and an excellent application of the concept of texturization in pencil. A very imaginative work ! Congratulations Meli !

excellent pic, reminds me of a Dore print.

I'm unsure if I should admit that this is my first trip into your gallery Meli - but as honesty is my first concern - I admit this is indeed my first visit. I was totally shocked at the number of comments I saw on each of your postings - but knowing only a small amount about you, it was easy to discern that many comments are from those who respect you as the warm-hearted, supportive woman you are. While your art is indeed quite good in a sense of style, technique and originality - popularity plays a significant role here. I should point out that there's nothing wrong with that, after all, popularity has been the defining if not the definitive model for why some rise to success and others don't. I like your art Meli, but likely for reasons not expressed in any of these numerous comments - although it has been touched on briefly. There's a beautiful "INNOCENCE" in your renders that illustrate an inner desire to display emotion as well as subject - in that you draw, sketch, paint what inspires you for the moment - giving your art a rare freedom, an element missing from 99.5% of all other art - including my own. Well done Meli - never forsake the innocence.

Oh dear! I'm almost afraid to comment now, for fear that Jim will chew me out!! :) But, since truth has ever been the order of the day for me, I will say that I love about this what I ALWAYS love about your work: your spirit, your passion, your intelligence and your love for life shines through it. And in this piece particularly, I loooooves Sigurd. He is beautifully drawn

great artwork again. Itr looks like "Thorgal Child Of the Stars"... (my poor opinion) very nice Melani.

Wonderfully drawn. Thanks as always for sharing your magic with us...

Excellent work.

Wow! This is so extremely good! I love the complete image, the atmosphere you've created in this image! Another masterpiece, Meli!

Excellent drawing. Like the cloth of the warrior. Fantastic!!

I ain't no art critic, but it shore looks purty to me :) Excellent execution of contrasting lighting, really makes a dramtic image!

Wonderful drawing! It is full of Action!

You are amazing, Meli! I really like and admire your work.

EXCELLENT!!! :):)

Fabulous picture. :) The composition and layout are wonderful, and you've portrayed the scene beautifully.

Hmmm. Interesting comments. I admit I followed the trail here too. I know nothing about 2-D except that I admire anyone who can do it! My thoughts and comments probably wont mean as much as the folks who venture into the 2-D arena and can actually do it! But, with that said, I think this image is great. I am from the poser gallery and I dont think I could ever actually put pencil in hand and do this! So, from my point of view, I think it is wonderful. This is my opinion, Keep up the wonderful work. I am afraid I cannot leave helpful comments as I dont know squat about 2-D, all I can say is... I like this!!

I would very much like to see more of this.

Avevo iniziato a scrivere il commento in inglese.. e mi sono reso conto che meglio se lo faccio in italiano ;) Per prima cosa vedo l'immagine sul monitor esattamente con le dimensioni dell'originale e amo molto il formato.. ci si puperdere in un piccolo spazio.. non so spiegarti bene l'idea. In secondo luogo mi piace moltissimo il fatto che tu abbia catturato un singolo momento STATICO (almeno per quel che riguarda i personaggi). Questo fatto mi permette di perdermi nell'immagine apprezzando il contorno, un posto paradisiaco in cui si svolge un'azione cosdrammatica.. veramente un gran contrasto.. Insomma: mi piace veramente molto. huggles :)
