Artist's Comments

I have been seeing some great "A Great and Terrible Beauty" series fan art, but there is NOT ENOUGH! Really loved these books, I mean turn of the century, British finishing school, ghosts, mythology, mystery, murder, romance... what more do you want???

Also the main character has a personality and a brain (yes, I am talking to you Bella, I use small words so you understand).

Anyway, probably should've spend a bit more time on this, BUT ARGGG NEED TO SUBMIT SOMETHING!!! Two jobs, school, and possibly a freelance art job is not an excuse for my lack of art! yeah it is.


-------- update 9/16/09

I changed her eyes a bit, now she looks a bit more fierce and powerful, which suits her character more. Her eyes are mentioned quite a lot in the book, and in my old version she had kind of a pathetic expression on her face... anyway, much more happy with it now! :woohoo:

haha
i saw this in my inbox and my mind said "Oh, HELLO, Gemma Doyle," as if she were real. O_o.
I've only read the first one, but it was mildly addictive so the next ones are a must, I feel.

You hack your way through the jungle and there comes a point where the guide says "get out your cameras. The gorillas are around the corner." I grabbed my sketch book. The guide looked at me like I was an idiot.

The books just get better and better. They are kinda for chicks, so I dont know how much a guy would enjoy them, ;) but I just love Gemma, she is very human, funny, and the story is really cool

well, i can see why they're aimed at girls, but that's really only because four of the main characters belong to that gender. i'd like to think guys are above dismissing a book for that reason alone!
yeah, i liked gemma. and felicity as well. she was creepy.
:iconaberry89:
~aberry89 Sep 4, 2009, 2:36:32 PM
I hope guys wouldn't dismiss it for that! :) You get a deeper look into Felicity's past in the next book, why she is the way she is...

and if you think Felicity was creepy in the first one, just wait till you meet up with Pippa again!
