I love the story in this. It reminds me of a fable about a race of seal people, seals that could turn into humans and walk the shores. I love the fact that they are a couple, and the wings on either side of them is a beautiful touch to the piece (that sells the story I think).

You're talking about roans or selkies, the name varies by region of the british isles. I likes them too.

This is so beautiful. I love the composition and the subtle colouring of it... and it really does look like it could be a book cover or something. In the way of critique, I can't quite tell what's going on around the hand area (it looks like one large, misshapen hand instead of two, unless that's what it's meant to be...?) but hey, that's just nitpicking. You get a fav outta me.

Your observation about the hands isn't nitpicking. It's exactly the kind of critique I'd want. I'm aware of that particular issue already, but couldn't find good reference to base corrections on. Once I dig some up I am DEFINITELY going back to fix it because it's bugging the hell out of me.

WOw This is absolutely great! I love the colors and the moodiness. But then I just love gothy things. But, shit, I just love everything about this. The wings especially.

Yes indeed it does. I don't see a single flaw. And as usual, you're watercolorish style impresses the hell out of me.

Beautiful work, it's got a very mythological edge to it. It remnids me of several prominent stories of Crows and Ravens (Huginn and Muginn from Norse mythology most prevelently)

It was very vaguely inspired by the Irish myth Children of Lir, but with rooks instead of swans. So you were close.

DanaeOP In reply to Shozen [2006-07-12 03:21:10 +0000 UTC]

It's not for anything in particular. Just fun. It's about the right size for a book cover though...maybe I can do a mockup with a title & author and pretend I'm a designer!

Shozen In reply to DanaeOP [2006-07-12 03:58:15 +0000 UTC]

you should actually. doing two versions is funny. one with the illustration by itself and one with designs all over it. before and after.
