Description

Look!  A festive and cheerful holiday image.

Maybe he's going to a Christmas party....


This came from an old sketch for a job that never went anywhere.  The client didn't use it but I always liked it.  I imagined it as the frontispiece in some dusty old spooky story collection from the 19th century.


Don't mess with ravens that are the size of large dogs.  They will mess you up.

Thank you!  At first, I thought I should add color to give it more atmosphere, but when I started to do it, it lost that retro feel that I wanted it to have.  So I'm glad the atmosphere still comes through even without it.

Great mood and "inking" technique! I'd love to own a book, fully illustrated in this style. Just a hint...

Thanks, Stoyan!  That's a great idea.  If only I had a story to go along with this....ha.  Food for thought though.

Oh, this is great! Love the low angle; very dramatic. And those little pops of red! So nice and ominous.

Thank you!  I almost didn't include the red, but decided I liked the added touch of color.
