Artist's Comments

A piece I did for my agent when she requested religious art for a younger market. I tried to keep Eve ambiguously ethnic, although she turned out looking like a 13 year old Hawaiian (not that that's a bad thing).

Note that the animals in the background are a unicorn, with the body of a mesohippus--[link] -- and a miacid. [link] I wanted to add some animals with prehistoric/fantastic flavor, since most Garden of Eden pics are depressingly literal. (This is what I'm trying to avoid-- [link] . Sheesh!)

I think you did a good job on the ambiguity of her ethnicity, sure she does look a bit Hawain but the skin tone is unique, really. Its not too pale, too tan, to yellow, or too brown!

Those animals are truly for the win.

She has a suitably naiive look on her face!

Addendum: checked out your final link. Sheesh is right!! I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face in that museum.

It's kind of horrifying, isn't it? Sarah at the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog had this take on it: [link] Because the whole "nubile whiteys makin' it in a swamp" is so very 1980s romance novel-ly, it ain't funny...
