Featured Artist - Samantha Meagan Bowe

Eirwen the Snow Queen. Shiver me timbers!

This month's featured artist is Samantha Meagen Bowe. I found this chick's artwork on a felf (if you don't know what a felf is, let me educate you. It's an elf with an adjective at the beginning. I'll give you a hint as to what the "f" stands for. It doesn't stand for "fun" or "fandango". Think about an aquatic bird, then I will tell you that I prefer dwarves. Still can't figure it out? Tough.) site called Elfwood. I initially intended on showcasing Eirwen, but then I had the bright idea to do a feature article on a different artist each month, that uses blue or other colors for their models. So here she is.

Samantha Meagan Bowe

Sammie, according to her Felfwood account, is a self-taught graphic artist using a couple of programs. Here is her desc of herself: "Samantha Started Computer Graphics about 4 years ago with Photoshop and got into 3D Art about 2 years ago with Poser and Vue 6 Esprit. Self taught but would like to take some classes to learn even more. Fantasy art is my favorite."

I wouldn't call her a Poser. Wait, that's the name of the program she uses. I would call her talented at making hot chicks Pose in graphic representations. Let's look at a couple now.

Tulip

"Tulip" is a purple haired chick with a bunch of face jewelry. Sammie seems to like the little gem things affixed to the faces of a bunch of her models, and I think she makes good use of them. Even a cute little heart in that pointy ear. And a couple of rings. And a nose ring. Well, nose stud. All brought forth with a terrific purple ensemble of colors.

I'm not sure about the cat eyes, they could be creepy in another situation but I guess on Tulip it just adds to her mystique (not that mystique). Not that she needs any help. Tulip could plant her tulips anywhere she wanted to in my garden.

Eternal Bloom
 Next up is "Eternal Bloom". Now, this one is pretty and all, but I can't really figure out why she chose to call it eternal bloom. Do you think of cold blue images when you think of eternal blooming things? Not me. I think of warm green lush sorts of images. Maybe Sam is Siberian. Or maybe she thinks "bloom" means "freeze". Could be an ESL situation or something.

But EB (Eternal Bloom) has a great psychedelic theme going for it - the twisting column, the hidden symbols in the background, and the seemingly inappropriate title. But let's stop dwelling on the title and dwell on the blue hair, blue lips and pale skin. OK. Done with EB? Let's move on to my other favorite (Eirwen up top is my first favorite).

Come with me.

Come With Me. No, really. That's the title. Although I might want her to replace the "With" with another word that rhymes with "Don"

"Come With Me". I think the title just about says it all.

Samantha has some great artwork so far. I found her work on a couple of sites, but I haven't found more pictures than what she has on Elfwood. I think her composition is pretty good, and her models are uber-hot, but I think she focuses too much on the girls just standing there looking pretty and not enough on doing some action scenes. I would be more than willing to model with one of her creations in, shall we say, less than Prime Time appropriate scenes?

I couldn't decide if I should leave off with Allura the Elfin Enchantress, or Abby Sciuto (from NCIS). So, in the interest of giving more than less, here are both.

Abby Sciuto. I'd love to see her do Linda Fiorentino from Men in Black

Allura the Elfin Enchantress. Please, pick up your umbrella. Slowly. And bend at the waist, not the knees.
