I was just re-reading the Magician's Nephew and I just broke down crying at this scene- you've captured it perfectly!

I did that one, too. I had to crank out the hollywoodjesus ones so fast I wound up being dissatisfied and redoing several of them that had more potential.

So you are the same person as Dawn Doughty Davidson? (Check google, found facebook. Hey that picture really looks like your avatar here. lol)

It's a pity you didn't got enough time for those.
A lot of them are from events in the Narnia stories that arn't drawn much by others. (That's what I think.) Like Aslan in 'the Last Battle' with the Emeth. That's why I like them much.

Such a magnificent book. Such a magnificent piece here.

I hear that the Magician's Nephew is going to be the Fourth Narnia movie. I can't wait to see if its true.

Lady-of-the-Shield [2011-10-18 15:32:42 +0000 UTC]

I love the gentle lighting you've used here, shining off both faces.

Aslan's single tear is so effective. You only needed one to pack in all that emotion.

Aslan's mane looks so light. I want to hug it.

I've been reading this book to my son almost every night. The attention to detail is amazing.

I love this depiction, you couldn't have made it anymore real to me.

I still believe that they ought to make a movie of this book. It is my favourite, by far.

Thanks. It was always one of my favorite scenes. Really hoping they continue with the films, but it will probably depend on the financial success of Dawn Treader.

Weeeeellll...the ones on elfwood I generally think of as lower quality at this point. I like to update them before I put them here. But I will put more effort into getting that done, if you like.

Thanks for the admiration!

i love how you said you were going to make this gallery for things elfwood won't allow . . . . and here you are . . . . submitting perfectly legit elfwood stuff.

it's very very well done. how did you feel about the movie? i've not seen it yet.

saeriellyn In reply to HarperJade [2005-12-10 12:47:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know! But you gotta spread the Narnia and Prydain love around. I'm just putting a couple of my best ones over here though; I don't want it to become an identical gallery.

The movie was wonderful! It did feel more like a children's film than I would have hoped - there were certain scenes that were shortened or toned down that I wished hadn't been - but it was superbly put together and visually stunning. Great performances by all the children.
