Description Needed to draw something Prydain related. Needed to get my ID off my front page. Thus, Eilonwy quickie. Will be scrapped as soon as I get something better to put here.

(Hmm...I need to draw Taran sometime...)

She's so pretty! And even though she looks quite elegant, she still has that mischievous gleam in her eye. ;3

this is almost exactly how i saw eilonwy when i was reading the books, and yes, the disney version is horrible, i think lloyd alexander should actually make the movies with real actors and not stupid disney drawings
yes, i have thought this over very much

It was the movie, which I watched back in 1985, that made me aware of the Celtic world of Eilonwy and Taran--a world to which I might be related, since many in Puerto Rico are of Galician ancestry.

Well, Lloyd Alexander is dead so it would be up to some studio to see the potential in his works and buy the copyright. But I agree, it would be wonderful.

ye some1 in his family or a friend of his could take control and it would be a great movie, the hard part would be finding actors that suit the part.

Thanks! I have more Prydain artwork from more recently in my gallery as well if you want to check it out ('epic romance', it's called, I believe).

alidaART In reply to Eminina [2007-07-26 17:29:25 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they're pretty awesome. I'm suprised there's not more art for them around these parts, considering that they're pretty much a fantasy classic.

I have a more recent piece of Taran and Eilonwy on the first page of my gallery--please check it out! < / shameless plug >

PRYDAIN RULES. And Disney totally destroyed it. Bleh.

I like this. Nice style, simple but you captured her personality. You should do more of them. The characters, I mean. Because I love seeing how different people see them...*ahem* I'm rambling now. Scooting away...

alidaART In reply to saeriellyn [2006-02-28 03:49:12 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no, it's fine. I actually didn't really mind the Disney version, but unfortunately now their Taran and Eilonwy are in the general conciousness, so...(EILONWY WAS COMPLETELY REDHEADED. GAR.)

(Though I have to say, I'm kind of fond of the Disney character design for Taran...)

I'll try some more characters...I sketch them sometimes. By the by, I'm a huge fan of your Prydain work--I've followed it for a quite a while, and you've always had a great sense of the human form and movement, but it's been nice to watch your digital painting abilities improve to match that quality. I sort of gave up on acheiving a realistic painting style in the digital medium a few years ago, but I've always secretly wanted to do what you do

Hey, thanks. Sheez, I haven't done anything new in that area in MONTHS. I really need to get back to it, which is why I'm trying to jump-start my inspiration by nagging other people to do some.

I love these books so much. I was so happy to find someone draw her in a style that didn't mimic the disney version. Wish I could offer some meaningful critique, but you'll have to settle for I really love it.

Why thank you! (Though I must admit, I still adore the good old Disney cartoon, even if it could never be as good as the books.)
