Adrienne's bio:
      I'm a writer and Artist of dark urban-fantasy, and I enjoy using my artistic skills to bring my characters to life. My work is primarily done in a digital paint, using Corel Painter. I usually use photos I find in magazines or the internet (sometimes several to get the right pose and (proportions) as a model for me to go by, and then paint my characters in the poses of the photo. 
       My dragons (not shown here) are of course completely out of my head, because they don't exist to model for me. (I wish they did). I prefer realism for my character art (hence why I like to work with a picture for a model), but I have also done some line art (graphic novel type) work as well. 
       It takes anywhere from ten to fifty hours for me to complete a painting, depending on the complexity of the work. Drawing my characters not only gives me inspiration for the stories I write, it helps bring them to life inside my head. I learn almost as much about my characters when I draw them, as I do when I write them.
