THIS IS AWESOME THE BEST EVER PIC OF LYRA~~AND THE BACKROUND IS GARGANGTUOUS!!!!!!!!
OMG: on 05/27/2006
OMG i cnat belive it that is exctly how i emagend lyra no-one has drawn her like that yet
randomperson: on 05/29/2006
that could, no should go on th cover of northern lights/the golden compass.
???: on 05/29/2006
thats how i pictured it!!! its really pretty! my fav pic!!
Shattering Carefully: on 06/08/2006
That is a masterpiece to be held in the HIGHEST order. I agree with 'randomperson' you should sell that to publishers and get it on a remake of the book. Honestly.
glittercloud: on 06/09/2006
wooooow..*stares* oh i found something wrong with it but i dont really care
Iorek was not with lyra
he couldnt cross the bridge
i hate myself, im so picky
???: on 06/14/2006
who said he was crossing it? it said that he stopped right before it in the book...so who said he never stops ...thats probably why shes off his back because he stopped!!!! because their not on the bridge yet!!!
(Found my voice at last!) 1 word- Superkalifragilisticxbealidocious!
Er...Dictionary?
Lizzietiffon01: on 07/08/2006
****! i moved the pic didn't i? *Cowers*
: on 07/10/2006
ok, im not trying to sour the mood on this picture because i agree this is an amazing picture, but it seems to me that i have seen this picture before.....is this your original or did you get it from somwhere?
Megz: on 07/12/2006
wow dis is great! u reali found da character ov lyra. i didnt hav ma own view ov wat i fout she luked like but i rekon dis is da best by far! i absolutly luv it! WIKED!!!!!
joe: on 07/21/2006
this is breathtaking. absolutly perfect
Savvy: on 07/22/2006
ooo shiny!
Lizzietiffon01: on 07/24/2006
Magical!!! This is so beautifully painted, coloured, airbrushed -woteva u did, its amazing! How can u even create such an inhuman wonder! I luv Lyra, although not exactly how i imagined her looking, she looks so vunerable, young, innocent and determined, exactly how i imagined her looking when faced with such a great task ahead of her at the end of the northern lights, when she's not fully mature yet. Luv iorek but i didn't thunk his armour would b like that. MAGICAL!!!!
Lizzietiffon01: on 07/24/2006
Only one thing i think is not quite right (but who am i 2 judge) -i think Cittagazze looks a bit like a weird skyscraper city. Love the gleaming effect!!!!!
Leo: on 07/26/2006
This is a beautiful picture.
Wytchbabi: on 07/27/2006
what...ah...HOW DO YOU DO THAT!?!?!?

Miliowilix: on 10/22/2006
***** SUPER COOL! *****
great job!
Rachel: on 11/02/2006
Oh my gosh! This picture is soooo... COOL!!!! That picture is better than the one I had in mind. I love the way you did Iorek and Lyra. You are a great artist!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
glittercloud: on 11/22/2006
no Iorek couldnt cross the snow bridge cos he was too big. That's the star bridge. Iorek cant fly so he shouldnt be ther. I feel like i just ruined you pic. sorry :(
Arisees is my D?ɬ¶mon: on 11/22/2006
simply amazing!! i LOVE Lyra in this picture!! and Iorek is AWESOME!!! kudos!! :D
Arya: on 11/29/2006
This is a truly spectacular picture. Probably one of the best Lyra's I've ever seen. Great
...:Bethany:....: on 12/30/2006
Wow your better then Van.gough! Get your own web site! if you don't already!
Koni: on 01/20/2007
ooo..that is great. I love the road, and the stuff that looks like a sparkly cracked eggshell that appears to be encasing the city...wow. It's really great. Lyra looks as if she has just made up her mind to walk the path to the other world!! I love it.
Iorekson: on 01/26/2007
that's exactly how i picture lyra. Especially the hair- sort of a dark, grimy blonde. Also, Iorek (heh heh) looks very intimidating and vengeful
silvertongue: on 01/31/2007
wooo best pic EVAER!
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/14/2007
I LOVE IT! One thing, Lyra isn't how I thought she would look. Iorek's armour is bit too modern.

HelenaHermione: on 03/26/2007
Ahhhh...awesome, stunning! That must have taken a long time to design, the detail is wonderful, sharp yet poignant elements.
mimimi: on 05/08/2007

tam: on 06/04/2007
truely breat taking i take my hat off to you
Joe: on 08/02/2007
Truely this is an awesome picture. You are very talented. I really like what you did with Lyra - I always imagined her having that very cute face as opposed to the rebellious and urchin-ish visage she's usually given.
Lira: on 12/31/2007
I love it!! Amazing work!
what did you use to make the figures so realistic?
Wow. :)
CS: on 01/08/2008
This is truly stunning. My highest commendment.
shazza: on 01/09/2008

The knife-bearer: on 03/18/2008
AWESOME is the only word that comes close to describing this.
Lollo: on 04/01/2008
It's without doubt the best picture on this site, Lyra's perfect. Just like i've imagined her! Everybody else has drawn her too old. Absoloutly beautiful!
Jane: on 04/07/2008
Take it from an artist/designer that this work is absolutely magical. You captured not only Lyra but every aspect of the atmosphere with such elegance and precision. I hope you are proud of your work because I am.
Vincent: on 07/16/2008
Simply wonderful! I first saw this picture on another site (Elfwood I think it was) and was introduced to the books because of the painting. It is so beautiful and fits well with the sad but hopeful ending to the first book.
martin: on 07/29/2008
this drawing is so amazing. ur not my hero tho. ur one of my new rivals in art. im going to become as good as, if not better than u and the person who drew the awesum alethiometer picture. great drawing once again. and meet ur new rival
+-: on 08/13/2008
This picture very much reminds me of a book i have, great picture
DF_queen: on 11/14/2008
Amazing! I agree with those who said this should be the cover of NL!
Lyra and Cittagazze are too perfect for words!
