You've really done Lyra justice up there, apart from the fact that her hair should be a little darker (in the books it her hair is described as dark gold), but it's still fantastic. And that's the alethiometer behind her, isn't it? Very well done!

Pantalaimon looks a bit...odd here.
Anna: on 03/25/2006
It looks great,'specially the background.
Rebecca: on 04/01/2006
i love the background and all the littles details are excellent.
You included the bag!
Ash: on 04/03/2006
I think it's totally awesome as a pic but when I think of Lyra I just imagine her differently.
KittyKat: on 04/05/2006
Great! But i always imagined her with long hair for some reason...
silversong: on 04/10/2006
Wow! Lyra looks fantastic!
Kirjava: on 04/13/2006
Wonderful choice on background details and colour, I love it! But it doesn't give a "Lyra" vibe to me, maybe because of the hair colour and earrings...
Sally: on 04/15/2006
that is awesome! You're very talented
Annabel: on 04/19/2006
I imagined her with longer hair, too. The thing I love about this image is the facial expressions, though- it's such a Lyra-ish look in Lyra's face! And it's mirrored in Pan's, too. Well done!
ina: on 04/20/2006
just amazing, the colors and everything...
Dennis: on 04/23/2006
wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aisilin: on 04/24/2006
if you look away from the little details thats kinda...odd, its a super piece of art! her face, the clothing, and especially the backround! *admire*
shoshone littel: on 04/24/2006
I like it, I think it's really cool piccy, but there are some things that bother me. First, Pan really does look weird and...lumpy. He's supposed to be red-gold, unless he hasn't settled yet, in which case I think Lyra looks a tiny bit too old. I love the background and I think the face is totally Lyra, but I'd prefer longer hair, and the pink jewelry is totally not her.
: on 04/25/2006
I would say Lyra is wilder, here she looks so academic and correct. The background is beautiful though.
HDM Fanfan: on 05/02/2006
That is so awesome! I did picture her a little differently, but otherwise, it's great! I LOVE her expression!
: on 05/06/2006
she looks abit like she has come out of the modern world
: on 05/06/2006
'she looks abit like she has come out of the modern world'
she does have connections to it, with Will and Mary Mary Malone and all. So i think it's justified.
Missy-Me: on 05/12/2006
wow, i love all the arts here!! (most of them..=P)
but this one is really nice!!
: on 05/13/2006
thats cute

Spazzy Spazz: on 05/25/2006
Absolutly briliant. Love the background.
Shiver: on 05/28/2006
I love the face you gave Lyra, not so keen on the hair... when i think of her being a wild child, i imagine it would have been a while since she'd had a hair cut so i think of it as being longer..
glittercloud: on 05/29/2006
yes, pan looks a bit..flabby, i like how you've done it though but lyra looks a bit mature if you get what im saying
TheDanishGirl: on 06/05/2006
I love Lyra on this one. It really gets her personality! It is remarkable... But I to think her hair should be longer. And I don't thing Lyra wear Jewels... But otherwise is it very, very good... Her face is the closest to how I have imagined Lyra.... Well done! :-)
brandon: on 06/08/2006
That's really good. You're pretty talented. Her eyes have alot of character, 'specially.
negar: on 06/25/2006
she is beautiful
soccastarr: on 06/25/2006
i think its the best of the Lyras!!!!
AryaAurora: on 06/26/2006
Bravo. Even if it isn't Lyra, she is still just like her.
glittercloud: on 07/09/2006
i like the look in her eyes. Show some craftyness in there.
glittercloud: on 07/09/2006
shows*
florentinafree: on 07/10/2006
yea its really kl lots of spirit and emotion but why is pan's arse all saggy looking( a bit like my mums!!) lol
Savvy: on 07/22/2006
Pan looks kinds fat
Zippy: on 07/23/2006
ABSO-FREAKIN'-LUTELY PERFECT!!!
..but she needs blue eyes!
Kaitlin: on 07/23/2006
hehee! look at Pantalaimon's jelly rolls! :D adorable!
very nice, the shading on lyra's face makes it look almost real, very lifelike. well done!
: on 07/23/2006
That is EXACTLY how I picured Lyra. Great job! Although, Pan looks kind of... I don't know... old, maybe?
Wytchbabi: on 07/23/2006
OH...MY...GODS...THIS...IS...INCREDIBLE!!! the jewelry kind of takes away from Lyra's personality, but otherwise it's perfect. her expression is so accurate.
Elaine: on 08/04/2006
almost exactly how I pictured her.
brilliant.
nightshade: on 08/07/2006
haha i love it! hehe Pans fat,thats cute.
chichi: on 08/16/2006
the expression is just perfect...i cant describe it but it is. but as someone else said, i imagined her with longer, darker hair, and pan is a bit abstract, but it's a beautiful picture
: on 09/10/2006
killer totally kick A$$
kekita: on 09/16/2006
wow i like the shading and the colours. her posture is so natural- and that's hard to achieve! my pics always look stiff and lifeless.
maybe its the background or the thick outline but it reminds me of a stained glass window!
C-Note: on 10/02/2006
looks too old to be lyra her needs to be longer and a shade darker
Look at Lyra's face...fantastic! Brave but a little bit sullen, as in the book described. I think expresses Lyra's personality. It is on/after the cocktail-party, isn't it?
king ogunwe 126: on 12/27/2006
this is flippin awesome dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lune van der Meulen: on 01/02/2007
It's beautiful! It's a bit like Art Nouveau/Art Deco/Jugendstil (all the same thing) I think. Especially how you did the hair. It could also be a window in a church or something. Very well done!!!
TotallyLyra: on 01/15/2007
OMG!!! I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soff: on 01/27/2007
i love it!! i love the look on her face, ita awesome!! only one thing: i would've drawn her with longer hair
Pan_Kirjava_Isabelle: on 02/14/2007
Not Lyra.... But it's good. Pan looks wierd. Lyra's too old and she has darker hair.

good. this is at mrs coulter's no? it's very nice and i love the background and all the details. it's pretty
majorie_johnson6: on 01/16/2008
i luv the way you drew pan!
Lyra Goldenmouth: on 01/25/2008
I like it but she looks a bit old...
Silvertongue: on 06/21/2008
This is really good! For all the fanart you need to give a bit for other's imaginations and drawing style and this really captures the essence Lyra should have! Although I did imagine her with longer hair, I picture this in Northern Lights just before she escapes Mrs Coulter at the tea party, so maybe she's had her hair cut. The protective hand over the alethiometer bag- just right! Good choice of dress as well, Lyra ish still not Mrs Coulter style, but still a dress. The background's great, nice abstract and her expression is really good, like Lyra's ready to escape Mrs Coulter! This is great!
