It seems to hide so many possible stories. | |

That is certainly one more existence then most of mine possess. if one color dies perhapse the nontangable is suggesting an evolution of palet. i notice just a hint of brown and green amidst all the usual blue and red. and take delight in them. =^^= .../\...  Jennifer Alice Peters replies: "I think that is why I've never really moved into computer media, it is so stunning, the most beautiful art can be created using these programs, but it is also a fragile existance... I think you might be right though, I need to experiment with more colors. Though I did use lots of greens when I first started and those were actually the first of many to die. I certainly am overly fond of blues and reds... But alot of my color choice has do due with the amount of color varience within that color that is available to me. I only have 3 or 4 colors of green, while have about 10 shades of blue and 10 shades of orange/red. I'm trying to fix this though, because it bothers me. Primas are limited in their color scope, so I'm slowly trying to switch to tria markers, which though much heavier in price, encompass a much larger scale of colors (some 400 or so) and also are of a slightly better quality." | |

| 4 Feb 2004 | Lara | Loading... I really admire the artist who does not use the computer for their work. I much prefer to see their creativity in a natural sense. Your work is amazing just the way it is; I hope you never change.  | |

I think the colors in this piece perfectly suit it.. though expanding the pallete you use is always a great idea when the mood strikes you... there is an old saying : "If it 'aint broke, dont fix it" heh. I've always admired your work for its rather vivid and lucid feel... always dreamlike.. but it feels like a slice of something real. What still astounds me is that you do your work by hand, its hard to get such crisp shades to be consistent.. | |

| 23 Jul 2005 |  Zuya Zarei | Loading... I really like the starkness of your work. You don't use too many embellishments and yet, they still convey a lot. When I was a kid, it used to really bug me that using felt tip pens left those dark lines if you went over an area already coloured. But here is a perfect example of them being put to excellent use. Excellent job!  Jennifer Alice Peters replies: "it was actually sort of an accident that it came out that way. When using some of the lighter prismas they will sometimes streak like this, usually I go over in another layer to smooth out the color (something that doesn't work with the cheaper markers). That just seemed the natural direction to color in, some of the greatest discoveries are made by accident I suppose. I'm glad you like my style, I try to focus more on structure and shape rather than focusing on a lot of detail, something markers especially lend themselves too. Thanks for the comment." | |
| 16 Feb 2006 |  Ramona C Bogott | Loading... OK - your dragons are amazing! Now I'm truly inspired to try again. Although I am dabbling in digital, I to like the traditional (have it in your hands) art. | |
| 3 Mar 2006 |  Hayley M Lazo | Loading... I have to say, your dragons are cool. I also admire your skill with markers. But I DO object to your insinuation that digital art exists 'only on the computer'(printers, duh)It is really the opposite: non-digital art exist only on the paper. Sorry! Not trying to put you down there! Only sticking up for digital artists =). Once again, nice work! Jennifer Alice Peters replies: "Believe me I don't mean to insult digital artists, true digital art (things made from scratch, not using filters and modeling programs like bryce) actually does take as much skill as painting with oil. But the unfortunate thing is when you print out a digital painting it never looks quite as good as it did on the computer. The reverse is true for traditional media, an oil painting always looks so much better in real life then viewed as a scan on a computer. But for me I hold a sort of fondness for tactile things. Existing only on the computer is a fragile thing, sure you can print it out, but you won't have the details of all those pixels, you won't have the essence of what you were originally working with. Given the choice between art existing at it's best in reality or art existing at it's best on the computer I prefer reality. It's a comfort to me, and my personal prefernce, but I don't ever mean to say digital art takes any less skill." | |
