Artist's Comments

I'm rereading the Chronicles of Narnia for pretty much the millionth time, and this time around I'm going on a proper fanart binge along with. Here's the fabulously wicked Lady of the Green Kirtle, from The Silver Chair - I was worried that she didn't look evil enough, but then I realized, she shouldn't really look evil - she's so lovely and so sweet and nice and charming... until, you know, she's a giant snake about to bite your head off.

This was supposed to be a quick little sketch, done with green ballpoint pens that I was just going to slap some color on... but you know how those "quick little sketches" always turn out. :XD:

Here's the original sketch: [link]

pen + CS2... about 5 hours???

GASP! Thank-you for reminding me what else I want-- the Chronicles of Narnia series in one giant book. :]

This is so BEAUTIFUL. <3
I love the colours, and the use of green for shading.
She looks so complacent and graceful.

I love you green color choice! Her dress is so beautiful and its cool how you added the scales at the bottom :D I love Narnia!!
:iconjam-chan:
I love how you did her hair- it looks sculpted almost! And the scales on the bottom of the dress are a nice touch too.

when you leave the world behind
and bid your cares goodbye~

Sounds like a couple of dates I've been on. ;P

Nice work. It looks like she could bite my head off before I had an inkling of danger.

Oo, lovely! Pity I don't really remember her though; Silver Chair was one of like two narnia books I only read once (the other prince caspian). I just looooove her hair and the little details on her dress like the hem at the bottom!
:iconellette:
Wow. This is so incredible. X33 love all the green.<3

Well I hope you get that for Christmas! :D

We have one really gorgeous version - it's the hardback edition with the map cover with every single illustration (in color) that Pauline Baynes ever did. I highly recommend that version if you feel like spending lots of money. If not, you can get the paperback edition - I've got that too. :XD:
