Beautiful feather work. The shaft of the quills have just the right amount of sharpness in lighting on the longer flight feathers to give it weight and strength. and the loss of focus on feathers closer to the crow (or raven?)'s back really defines the depth of the firgure. Loving this. And after a look through your gallery I think I can guess your favorite subject

One more thing to mention: I love your color choices both in the background but also the brown vs blues in the bird itself.

thank you for your kind and well thought out comment

yes, indeed, i do like me some ravens. these were all for a show i'm having where the theme is ravens, though. mostly i prefer people as my subject matter.

Judging from the quality of the birds, I'm itching to see some figurative. Good luck with the show! I hope you post how it went in your Journal once done.

i've decided to open up two accounts... on for more conventional art and my other one which is more experimental. here is the other if you wanna give it a glimpse
