Wow! This is stunning!
Queen Boudica is my favourite historical heroine and it is one of the best artworks representing her that I have seen

Well, That was a pretty good work indeed.. It was probably the scanner fault that made it look a bit dull. You're welcome.

how beautiful! you caught a really great expression, and it's amazing drawn... I really don't know how you can draw like that with colored pencils...

Mmmmm if I asked you how you do the work you do then I guess you'd find it pretty hard to answer....because the skill is natural within you and it will grow with practice and the more stuff you produce....heh heh do you see V

This is one of those pieces you wish you could see, in person. Digital display just does NOT do justice to pencil! Great job, James!

This is really beautiful James. I can see so much of Pauline in it. Her eyes and the overall expression is amazing.
I love that you work from a photo but change so much and add it into your own ideas and thoughts, to me that is one of the greatest types of arts.
I can't wait to be your model...

It is totally stunning: the tones, the classical feel, the pose... and to be honest, it looks exactly like me: I never recognized my face that much in a painting or drawing!!! + me as Boadicea, that is such an awesome idea
You did a really amazing job, James, this is the best gift to start the new year
Thank you so much: I wish you a wonderful year 2008 with your loved ones
