SciFi & Fantasy Artwork by Marika Viklund

Marika is me! I'm 31 years and loves dragons and elves. I've been a member of Elfwood for 12 years now and a Moderator for about 4.5 year. I'd like to write books (I have lots of ideas but too little time) and paint my own covers to them. To sell art of all kinds, paintings, sculptures, plushies and so forth, and be able to live on it would be great. I'd love to have my own art shop! :P Anyway, now please go and have a look at my pictures and comment! I love comments! :D And don't forget my written stuff and Other Works please! ^_^ Oh, and if you're interested in knowing more, go and read my Profile!

Name the mails "Elfwood" or "art" or something similar (not just "hi") so I won't delete them by mistake.

News April 2012: Hi everyone! Sorry for being so inactive here for so long. I simply don't have time when I work as a teacher in another city. Traveling takes all my free time away, so there's only work left. I like my job though, so that's good. My favourite snake Snoddas died, 15yrs old some weeks ago. I'm still feeling it's a too empty here. i hate the empty terrarium standing there. But otherwise it's all good. Having a vacation atm. Playing Prototype and Amnesia now. Amn. is a very VERY scary game!

I like your art! I’d pay you to draw something if I had money 1

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "Thank you very much! That means a lot! Glad you like my art that much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 1"

Hi how do you upload pictures to elfwood? 1 thanks

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "Hi! It’s quite simple really. You log in, hover the mouse over the "My account" button and then press "Upload". There you can name the new picture, choose to put it in "Other Works" if it’s not fantasy or "SF&F" is it is and browse the file on your computer. Then you click the "finished" button (I think that’s what it’s called anyway, but you’ll see). Then the next page you can check the little boxes. So if you drew a dragon you check the box "dragons, wyverns, drakes" for ex. The the techniques etc. You write a description in the large box... this text will be visible beneath the picture later. Always explain the fantasy elements if they are not visible or clear. The you write the tag words... these are for the search engine so your picture will be easier to find. Then it’s just to click the finish button and wait for it to be moderated. 2 There, hope that helped?"

Hi, Ms Marika! Just wondering how life is nowadays in the land of plush dragons and mutant My Little Ponies. Are the kids in you class nice to you? Have you taught them how to worship Yog-Sothot yet?

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "Hiiii! *glomp*
Haha, mutant ponies! XD Life goes on I guess. It’s ok, but I have a cold atm. The kids are little monsters... 14 But they’re great too! Never a boring moment at lest. But I’m very tired. Heh, had a music lesson with heavy metal this week. *lol* Don’t think many teachers do that.
Working on the worshiping yet! 12

How are you doing? Haven’t seen or heard anything from you in ages! D: Everything ok? Anything new, cool or scary to upload yet? 1"

How young are the kids in your class? You’re doing several subjects, aren’t you? Music, art (that should be easy), math, and all that? Should I turn this over into a private message, so we can write in Swedish?

I’m doing fine! I’m mostly working on my video projects, so I haven’t done that much art that would be interesting for Elfwooders for a while. It’s not that I’m out of ideas (good heavens)! I’m just always out of time, it seems.

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "They’re 9 (most of them). Third year in school. ^^ Yeah, I do everything apart from idrott and slöjd! *lol* Couldn’t bother to look up the words in English. 2 Music is a big block every week! I never know what to do!!! D: Art is easy, math is fun. Swedish is more of a challenge but it usually works out and NO/SO is fairly easy to do. Yeah, you can do that! 2

That’s great! 1 Oh, I see! That’s why! 11 Haha, it’s always the lack of time that’s the problem! I have the same issue. Loads of ideas and too little time! But some day! Next summer I’m gonna have 7 weeks free! Finally! 1 It’s going to be great! I’ll be able to write, paint, sculpt, sew and all those things I wanna do! As well as study some more japanese! *nod*"

Speaking of the wonders of modern technology, this afternoon I was crossing a busy downtown street, and a woman just ahead of me was texting while walking. The street was undergoing reconstruction, and there were boards and machinery scattered around. There was board right in front of her and she walked right into it, and fell.

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "*lol* Id have had trouble not laughing out loud I guess. 1 Was she alright? 2"

Regarding "Resplendent Venom" by Tabitha Lynn Ladin, and your comment about the dragon’s weak wing muscles, perhaps her dragon is a glider rather than a flyer. Maybe it climbs trees and swoops down on it prey.

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "It would still need stronger wings. If it should use them for both walking, climbing and flying. *nods* It’s a pretty dragon though. 2"

About the woman who fell in the street, the first thing I did, automatically - and I speak from decades of experience - was to wave my hat in front of the oncoming cars, to make them stop, or at least go around us. I do not remember how many lives I have saved by preventing more accidents, while less experienced "rescuers" simply bolt into traffic. The woman got up by herself, because no car struck us.

I always wear white or bright-coloured hats for this very purpose - signalling! In fact I was speaking with Tabitha Lynn Ladin about the very subject, about how people first notice movement, then outline, then colour. Waving a hat attracts attention.

When the temperature is above freezing, I wear a baseball cap, because the visor shelters my eyes from glare, both day and night. The visor provides a handle for waving. The light colour also protects me from the sun’s heat.

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "*lol* You’re weird. XD I like hats... 2"
12 May 2012:-) Paul Cerar
Are you saying I am "weird" because I save lives by stopping oncoming cars? You are bloodthirsty!

:-) Marika Viklund replies: "Hehe, nope. I’m saying you’re weird for always using hats for signalling traffic! 12"

My bright-coloured baseball caps are a good for flagging down taxis.

Speaking of taxis, have you read in the news about the convicted Canadian-born Muslim terrorist Omar Khadr? He is being deported to Canada, and might get a job as a taxi driver in Toronto.

I have been warning everyone: If you have Omar Khadr as your taxi driver, under no circumstances get into an argument with him, because he will wrap his arms around you, yell "Allahu Akbar!" and throw himself into traffic!
