Hi! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! I'm really a sculptor, (folks in North America may be familiar with Windstone dragons, and my other fantasy sculptures in gift stores) but by night I'm a perpetual art student. I'm stuggling to learn to draw well, and, like most other humans on the planet it seems, I'm writing a graphic novel (Or rather, I am trying to. Lately I haven't a spare nanosecond to work on it.)

I joined Elfwood for two reasons: to have a place to show my attempts at graphic art, (and  some sculpture too, of course) but mostly I joined to talk to, and meet other artists! I'd especially like to talk with other folks who are also attempting, or are interested in, the ultimate art of 'drawn books'. If you leave a comment, I'll do my darndest, as time allows, to respond to your comments, and visit your gallery too.

 Now that I have a flat sceen monitor I can see how awful some of my images look-I couldn't see all the "gunk" that I left on the images in photoshop, because the monitor I was using was so dark .

I am really sorry about the horrible quality of some of my  pics. I will edit them when I get time.

Here is a link to the  NEW Windstone forum, if you would like to check out what I do for a  day job:  http://www.winstoneeditions.com

I also need to say this bit- If you want to use any of my art for anything, (this also includes any Windstone stuff) PLEASE, PLEASE ask permission first, from me! I'm not saying this  just to be a selfish jerk, it's legally required to protect the copyrights. All of you, who are artists, should state this on your galleries as well. I'd be happy to explain this, if you want to email me.(my email works now) Please visit my daughter, Chessie Alberti, and our resident were-banana, Amber 'Vantid' Hill.

" 27 Mar 2011 Isabelle Berns Loading... Love your gallery, so many beautiful sculptures, and your drawing is really good as well Melody Pena replies: "Thank you so much!" 7 Jun 2011 Angela Ross Loading... First off--I love your work! As a kid I saved up every cent to buy a blue young dragon (and I normally never spent money on ANYTHING!). Love that dragon. Second, you should totally submit some stuff to this art book: http://machinesandmagic.com/blog/ It’s one of those where there’s no royalty, but also no entry fee, and it’s just another chance to be published. I turned in a couple of my images to see if they’d get in. This guy is making it: http://www.elfwood.com/~solipsism Have a good one! Angela Melody Pena replies: "Thank you! I’ll look into it!" 5 Aug 2011 Twyla McKee Loading... Such beautiful artwork! Amazing talent, thank you for sharing! Melody Pena replies: "Thank you so much!" 15 Dec 2011 James David Casey Loading...

Melody Pena replies: "Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your break from classes!" 23 Dec 2011 Robyn Loading... Hi, I actually stumbled on this purely by chance. I was wondering if you ever sell any of your pieces? There is one that I have fallen in love with. Please let me know. You can write me @ yourgirl1769@yahoo.com thanks. 23 Dec 2011 Robyn Loading... Wow, I am sorry I feel kinda of stupid right now. I had no Idea that you created the Windstone Statues. They are literally the only fantasy art that I truly enjoy and would buy. My mother had one, a great big green dragon I loved it. I begged her for it for years. She finally relented and gave it to me. You are such an inspiration. Please contact me I have two questions for you. Thank you! Melody Pena replies: "Hi, Sorry I didn’t see your comment until now, for some reason some comments don’t get sent to my email, so I miss them. If you would like to contact me, my email is reptangle (at) gmail (dot ) com , or go to Windstoneeditions.com Thank you!" 26 Feb 2012 Rosethorn Loading... love your pieces, wish there were more poa for us poor folk who cant afford a painted piece can play with it, not that i can actually paint.....<pouts> love your peeble cats, wish you would consider those as paint your own, cause i might be to affore one Melody Pena replies: "I hope to do more pyo pieces, but they take as long to create as regular pieces, so things happen slowly.Thank you! " 8 May 2012 Paul Cerar Loading... I just finished reading the latest Stephen King novel, "The Wind Through the Keyhole," and recommend it. There are Dragons in the story!
