    Nice start Lily! Psh, it's not too big. This is a good drawing. My *main* problem is proportion issues. The first thing that hit me was that her head is ...

    This is great... you are very talented... but I don't really think this represents gluttony. First of all, he doesn't even look fat. Not even chubby, really. To be gluttonous ...

    Meh. It was alright. Definitely not her best. Same basic theme as her other novels -- if you've read one Picoult, you've read them all. As much as I thought ...

    No, Kronos is the correct GREEK spelling. The problem is, Athena is a Latin/English-tized spelling. If he wanted all of his names to seem Greek, he would have called Athena ...

    These books make me want to hurt people. He totally screwed up his mythology, mixes traditional and Latinized spellings, and the writing was just corny. But it was mostly the ...
