Silvia's drawings

For those of you who don't normally follow the discussions on Compuserve, I wanted to mention that an OUTLANDER fan -- and very talented artist! -- named Silvia has been posting some wonderful drawings on Compuserve recently, featuring various characters and scenes from Diana Gabaldon's books.

Speaking as someone who can't draw at all -- I like to joke that my artistic ability peaked in the first grade <g> -- I'm just in awe of what Silvia has been able to do.  She really makes Diana's characters come alive.  I hope you enjoy her work as much as I have.

With Silvia's permission, I've included a couple of her more recent drawings here, so you can get an idea of why those of us on Compuserve have been enjoying them so much.

Here's Brianna:


And Percy as he was in LORD JOHN AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLADE:


Diana's reaction to the drawing of Percy:

Amazing!  It's not only an excellent drawing, it actually _is_ very close to what Percy looks like!

In addition to these portraits, Silvia has also posted a number of more <cough> explicit drawings in the Erotic Writing folder on Compuserve.  Some of them are drawings of sex scenes between Jamie and Claire (or others), and some of them are just "intimate moments" (the octopus picture, for example, is hilarious, and has to be seen to be believed <g>) -- but they're all considered too risque to post in the public folders on Compuserve.

I won't link to any of the more explicit pictures.  As Silvia says, they're in "pretty good taste", nothing beyond what you might see in an R-rated movie, but just to be on the safe side, I'd rather not link directly to them from here.

Many thanks to Silvia for sharing her remarkable talent and love for Diana Gabaldon's books and characters with the rest of us.  I hope she keeps drawing these pictures for a long time to come!
