Description
And as he materialized from the shadows of an immortal world, he knew that he would never be discovered. He knew their eyes would never pause. Draped in feathers, masked by guise, a god became a mere cruxshadow. Apollo became The Crane.Godlike Birds:
The Greek/Roman god Apollo was the god of the sun, the god of poets, and the leader of muses. And upon his visits among us he would disguise himself as a bird.
This is an ode to inspriation. This is a dedication to the muses that live within us.
Apollo is a direct representation of creativity, and as artists, Apollo is our god.

breathtaking as usual, however for the bottom of the feather, did you use an eraser to get that transparnt effect? or did you just "color around" an already drawn shape and fill inbetween the strips?

The feather makes for some nice light texture in an otherwise fairly plain dark picture. I can just picture this girl- you capture expressions so well.
