SciFi and Fantasy Art A Test of Skill by Tom ´Beldarr´ Bell


	An ambitious project on my part( 24 in. x 36 in. ). First oil class and I whip this thing out all penciled and ready to go, while everyone else is staring at bowls of fruit and drapes. It took me 6 months on and off, and it was a real test of my skill just to finish. completed in 1991....notice the dog in her lap.....and the horns....

24 Mar 2000	Michael John Morris	Loading... Good first oil, prefer acrylics myself. It takes a lot of dedication to keep going back to the same image over such a long period of time, espcialy on your first try with a new media, I congragulate you. Back in 1991 I was generaly too lazy to finnish big images like this and I'd just started with oils around that time too.
29 Mar 2000	Elizabeth Vegh	Loading... This is brilliant! Those six months really paid off. The color scheme is so unique, almost photographic quality. I like all the textures and the use of black on black on black.
15 Apr 2000	Caterina ''Guerra'' Oddell	Loading... I like the old-style triangular composition it really draws your eye to the main figure, I'd say six months well-spent.
6 May 2000	Its Anneth! (f.gallery 355)	Loading... Hmmm--the concept of this painting is relatively simple, yet executed very well, chuckling suddenly And Im still doin drapery. Actually, more into still life, cause bowls of fruit rot too quickly, >^=^< Flowers are cool though, hee. You've handled the metal really really well, for your first oil painting (arent prelims great?) Have you tried painting patterned drapery yet?? =) Excellently done!
3 Jun 2000	Anon.	Loading... I love the way that her pose is so relaxed and at ease. And yet her head has this intense thought process look to it. This pic inspired a knew char I have. She's a demon soceress, but she's trying to be good. I don't know If you'd take that as a compliment or not but I think that it is. An artist usually feels pride when there artwork is inspirational. Bring more up soon.
4 Jun 2000	Suz Bateson	Loading... Wow. Real oil paint? Gods... I'm very impressed. I love the velvety look you got on the draperies, and the cool metallic glint of her armour. Very nicely done!
12 Aug 2000	Gabriel L. G. Bur	Loading... It's a really good work. This is the first pic of you I'm looking for, and I can't restrain looking up for your complete gallery.
5 May 2002	Glenn Hansen	Loading... I know we're not supposed to make comments like this but WOW! That's just friggin' awesome!
13 Oct 2003	Camilla M. Drakenborg	Loading... Now look what you have done!!! I am speechless!
