Description Captain Holly Short from the Artemis Fowl books, written by the wonderful Eoin Colfer. I was lucky enough to be commissioned to do the illustrations for the relaunch of the series in the UK.

Wow it's great to find the artist who made the new covers on Deviantart!
I think I'm going to take this as reference for my cosplay costume, the suit and hemet look great...
I imagined her with dragonfly wings too btw!

Oh god...
Curse my living in south africa! We only get local authors and if we DO find any authors outside of our borders it's mostly american. I read the books online because I got hooked on a AF book from my local library (they only had ONE), did some major lurking on the internet, found the other books online, read them, then stared at a wall for a while (I read books really quickly, so once they're done my world is empty) If I had to by the books you can certainly say I'd love these.
(sorry for the long comment, but I had to voice my pain in a rambling rant)

ArtyThePuppeteer In reply to boblea [2011-08-23 05:58:16 +0000 UTC]

I agree. she's me favourite female good-guy character. as for villian it's Opal. I kinda like her even dough she's bad.

boblea In reply to ArtyThePuppeteer [2011-08-23 09:16:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Opal rocks! Maybe if she had more good friends she wouldn't be so bad. But then she wouldn't be Opal.

ArtyThePuppeteer In reply to boblea [2011-08-23 09:20:37 +0000 UTC]

True. in a fanfic I'm making the human Opal teams up with Artemsi to stop her evilself. it's very intresting... or I think so...

Hey, I like the sound of that. I like it when characters are having to work together but they can't quite trust each other...

ArtyThePuppeteer In reply to boblea [2011-09-19 15:41:34 +0000 UTC]

Hehe me two. and I might make it some romantic feeling for the human Opal to have for Artemis, just to mess it up some more

Omg awesome! Awesome! I can't stop thinking that! You did a really awesome job with these covers. I think this pic should have been on one of the books. You are really good at drawing Holly!

boblea In reply to GamMakesAwesome [2011-08-23 10:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I think you've got Awesomeitis. It would make a good cover wouldn't it? I think maybe I should do some more pictures of Holly. And maybe Opal. What do you think?

GamMakesAwesome In reply to boblea [2011-08-24 02:24:06 +0000 UTC]

It would be interesting to see Opal in your style. I've only seen her in the graphic novels.

skybard [2011-05-08 20:27:16 +0000 UTC]

Love her facial proportions! She really feels like a separate, more "elfish" species from humans, which I've found a difficult thing to portray in 2-D drawings without the end result suffering from uncanny valley. Trust me when I say that with this kind of talent you definitely earned your place as an illustrator for this series!

I want to say two things:
1. This looks super cool, and you deserve whatever they're giving you.
2. Your link isn't working- and that upsets me. I'd like to see this commercial.

I love the uniform and wings. Would you consider posting wireframes of your models? If not, that's fine, but I thought I'd ask.

boblea In reply to XBones-No-Densetsu [2011-06-11 12:57:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you XBones and sorry for taking so long to answer you. I don't usually show the wireframes but mainly because when I've finished a picture I archive all the files onto dvd and forget about it. I always want to move on to the next picture!

Haha, no prob on both counts.

Good idea on the CDs. I should get some of my Blender stuff off my poor laptop....
