| | Norman Hood & Leta Davis, editors, Parting the Veil: The Art of Nene Thomas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Thomas doesn't stray far from these particular fantasy elements (there are a few male subjects, and she includes what she calls some pure cheesecake poses or pinups as well), but then, why should she, as she's created some beautiful artwork within her chosen niche. |
 | | The strongest elements of Thomas' painting are arguably her lovely rendering of flowing cloth or hair, her wings (whether feathered or butterfly-like), and her attention to detail (patterns in cloth, leaves, tree bark, dragon scales, etc.). |
 | | Thomas wraps up the book with three pages of personal tips for "aspiring print artists," ranging from "don't show full nudity" (fewer people are willing to hang nudes on their walls) to how to keep printing costs down to "size does matter" (larger prints will sell for more). |
