This is Topanya Melora Crystal Singer - A Meeting of Minds

Lady Maelin · May 5 2006, 05:44 PM

This our own MoM, Staff member Pam, She since she loves the Crystal series, I did her as a Crystal singer. I hope that you enjoy this one.

***Hans*** · May 5 2006, 05:56 PM

Enjoy is such a small word

I love the portrait and, although Mad about Pern, is is SO nice to see a Crystal Singer!

Wonderful. And I would have easily recognised Pam from it even had no name been given! Like someone else recently said, you are not only good at portraits, Maelin, but indeed the clothing you draw has exactly the right "feel"

mattv2099 · May 5 2006, 06:10 PM

Amazing. Looks so real.

c_ris · May 5 2006, 07:45 PM

I love the way she looks like she is in Crystal Thrall!

Jax · May 5 2006, 11:00 PM

That's awesome!!

Lady Maelin · May 5 2006, 11:47 PM

Thank You C'ris, I am so glad that you noticed that, as that was what I was going for.

AnnMarie · May 6 2006, 04:40 AM

Well said AnnMarie, well said! And credits are never a bad thing, eh?

granath · May 6 2006, 07:05 AM

Amazing! Lucky Pam! (My preference is for the Talent series, but I'll happily wait for what you come up with for Jamaillia of Pern.

)

Greenrider Tresa · May 6 2006, 12:56 PM

Wow!

She does look like she's in crystal thrall.

One of my least favorite series, but I can still appreciate excellent work.

Lady Maelin · May 6 2006, 03:21 PM

I am so very happy that you all are liking this one. It was done before I decided I would do member portraits, and only the Pern persona's ones. Trying to get enough of the outfit of a Crystal Singer, to show that it was indeed a singer, was somewhat interesting to figure out.

edith · May 6 2006, 05:18 PM

Wow!
It's beautiful!

Becky · May 7 2006, 12:22 AM

Great portrait, Maelin! Pam, you must be thrilled in addition to being thralled!!! Just looking at the portrait could put you in thrall.

Wonderful!

***Pam*** · May 7 2006, 02:10 AM

Sorry, can't talk. Thralling...

Thank you Maelin

Lady Maelin · May 7 2006, 02:45 AM

Pam, you are very welcome,

I am glad that you like how it turned out.

Becky · May 7 2006, 12:01 PM

We probably won't hear much from Pam. Someone will have to go get her out of thrall. But not for a while yet, let her enjoy!

c_ris · May 7 2006, 12:04 PM

Lets just hope a storm doesn't come in until she comes out of it!

Nefermiw · May 7 2006, 12:43 PM

I like the reflection from the crystal on her face.

Platinum · May 7 2006, 01:17 PM

Again, gorgeous work!

*Bounces*
I look forward to seein more! Bet everyone is SO proud of their portraits
^_^

Lady Maelin · May 7 2006, 04:30 PM

Perhaps I should let you see yours, if you give me your promise first, not to use it before I get to show it..........Promise ???

***Hans*** · May 7 2006, 05:02 PM

Do you think you really should? Has she truely deserved that?

(psst, Maelin, I'm just teasing but don't tell Plat)

Lady Maelin · May 8 2006, 12:37 AM

Hans,

she has waited very patiently for her little peek...........

Kath · May 8 2006, 04:10 AM

It's utterly unbelievable, but these portraits just keep getting better and better!

I'm amazed. Not much more I can say than that!

Lady Maelin · May 8 2006, 12:56 PM

Thank you Kath, I am so glad that you and all the rest of the membership have enjoyed them so much. Yours is coming soon too !!! I will hope that you like it as much as the rest of the portraits.
