Description

When I noticed that Mr. Dooney was creating 1887 themed art pieces... immediately I knew I had to get in on the fun.
There are so many beautiful ones here on CAF!!!

I wasn't sure if Mr. Dooney would want to tackle Red. I mean, 1887 would be a step forward for her, not a step backward if you think about the timeline. Luckily, he was a fan of the Warrior Queen and in two weeks, I had this outstanding beauty!!

The details are just incredible. More than, actually.
So many thanks, Mr. Dooney! I know that this couldn't have been easy to pull together but you did a magnificent job! :)

You are so sweet!!!.. thank you so much! :) There was some nervousness on my part but at the same time, with Mr. Dooney's talent, I had a feeling it would all work out. :)

This is just fantastic! Sonja turned out to be the perfect subject of one of Mr. Dooney's 1887 pieces! This one might be my favorite of the whole series he's done (so classic how he put in the sword and the dagger into her parasol and garter--not to mention her necklace!)! Congrats on scoring a great piece, Holly!!! :D

Aww, Carlos, thank you. :) Having been a fan of your gallery for such a long time your compliments mean a lot. Mr. Dooney didn't hold back at all and I'm still on such a high about this piece. Who could blame me, right? :D

Great commission by Michael, love how she's wearing the blades and coins. Even has a knife against her thigh, and a special handle on her umbrella - very Sonja-like! Thanks for posting!

Thanks Anthony. :) My favourite part is the dagger against her thigh. It was the one idea I gave Mr. Dooney and I'm so glad that he liked it enough to use it.

Beautiful piece by Mr Dooney...considering Red Sonja's time period..you might not think this would work, but it does..now I want to read her 1887 adventures! :)

When Mr. Dooney told me that he has been a long time fan of Red Sonja- it really eased my mind. Adventures?... I keep thinking that they would be a cross between League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and 3 Musketeers. ;)

Thanks so much, Patrick. :) I had no idea the direction Mr. Dooney would take this but somehow, he captured what I imagined. 'Special' describes this piece perfectly.

Thank you so much, Dean. :) Thinking about getting this framed- too beautiful to keep in a portfolio.

Thank you, Fred. :) If you want one, what's stopping you?...Mr. Dooney does such beautiful work it seems like such a shame to wait.

One part cash, the other part is that he haven't been back in touch with me. There also is the matter who to choose. I'm not a Marvel guy so I'm leaning toward Starfire, Donna Troy, or maybe Dove. I am a Titans fan.

That's really an amazing score, Holly! And I must admit: she's just the kind of girl to whom I would happily succumb... ;-) Also, thank you so much for your always brilliant comments and thoughts about my pieces!

Thank you! I do have to say that this still blows me away. I mean, I love Red but had no idea how Mr. Dooney would pull it off for his 1887 theme. It really pays to take chances. :)

Red Sonja with bustier and parasol, still clutching a sword handle and with little daggers adorning her neckline... She has aged gracefully into the Victorian period. Very cool...
