Description Inspired jointly by the art of Alphonse Mucha and Celtic mythology. The knot in the background is from the Book of Kells. One of these days I'll colour her, but at this point I don't trust my skills in that area quite well enough.

She may LOOK pretty, but her hair murdered my pen.

I don't have much in my gallery in the way of coloring except a crazy anime one I did, but I'd love to try my hand at coloring this too. I'm a big fan of Boudica and I'm a big fan of Mucha, so this is a super awesome piece, to me.

Beautiful work! Very reminiscent of Mucha, but with your own originality. It does the subject justice. I love the image of the henge in the background.

I love Mucha-inspired drawings. This is lovely. Could I possibly try my hand at coloring it?

REALLY? YOU REALLY WANNA?
Yes, yes, yes, yes! A thousand times, yes! I've seen your gallery, and I love your use of colour.
Knock. Yourself. Out.

Beautiful linework. Reminds me of the folk art I've seen from the 70's. Also reminds me of the artist Quentin Hoover.
