I was wondering when we'd see your work here! Neat piece! I like the patterning, though maybe a bit more contrast in colors would help them to be more dynamic? The detail images really help the pic...it's quite small from here.
Anyway, very well rendered of course, and a neat concept too! +8

Thanks krazykrista! It was meant to be printed at 16x16 inches, so yeah, a lot of it gets lost at this size.

Hello, Seen this one so many times and I don't get sick of it! As usual, great work, I really like the blue/aqua color scheme. The fish and the cat are adorable and the intricate knotwork is very impressive.

I'v seen this before and i just love this piece!

Fantastic piece, the size doesn't fit the real dimensions of this work!!!

Very nice knotwork design. +7.
But the shadows on the whole picture fall differently: there's no shadow from the parchment's top edging and from cat`s plumes on cat`s body at all, and the directions from shadows throght objects towards the light source are little odd. -2.
Also the sizes of the cat and the edging seem mismatched. -1.

Sum: about +4. (Just a humble opinion).

Interesting work and concept.

I love it and can't wait to see more of your work!

Stephanie your art is just evolving into a magnificent, regal beast of glory. I have always loved your art. I am in love with it now.

Wow! Great work!

Loved it when i first saw it on your site, and i love it now.

PFT! Can you believe I was about to comment that this reminded me a lot of Stephanie Law's work? XD I wonder why? Awesome work, I've been a fan for a long time.

amazing

sweet!

Haha. Well don't worry, you wouldn't be the first. I just started posting on deviantart a month ago, and two people actually did say that. One person seemed to think I was ripping off the owner of shadowscapes.com and they couldn't remember the artists name, until I pointed out that I WAS the owner of shadowscapes.com and perhaps my name might be familiar from there.

Ouf I am amazed by the knotwork o_O;
Really impressive, and your work on your site is really beautifull

nice job i love your celtic pics ^^ +9

Did you invent those knots out of some celtic elements, or are those existing knots with a special meaning and you illsutrate them in a new way?

So last would be really nice, first would be great!
I dig those knotwork - they gave such art a feeling of deeper meaning. A Friend bought some books about this subject and i think i should too.
Not only as a mainsubject, but i think its great if you can put special signes on an object in concepts instead of just drawing some meaningless lines which most time just look wrong, because its obviously if you just painted them, because they're good-looking.

Also it would be nice if i would know more about knots to be able to understand your work better.

I was about to say "Wow, you paint just like stephanie law," then I looked more closely. looks great, as always.

Looks like a Yes album cover

I designed the knots myself. Actually, the design phase of this took much longer than the painting of it. I spent several days just getting the knotwork right.

The best way to learn how is really just get some books like your friend, and then experiment a lot with the techniques. Good luck with that!

I loved this at Epilogue - full marks from me Stephanie +9
