[Art] Crow as Totem

[livejournal.com profile] crowebasalt, do you want to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com in order to yay or nay it? For now it's on hold for ya. :)

There's iridescent green on this one, on the eye, in the sigil and in small highlights on the raven itself. I mixed some blue tones with the metallic green to get a darker green that I was happy with. Awesome.





$75 US / AUD (ON HOLD)
18.5 x 20.5cm (or 7.4 x 8 in)
illo's board, fineliner, aquarelle, pencil, metallic paint

I think Crow is sportting my favorite glyph that you've done. I like how it seems to be glowing.

It's So Cute!

I love the expression on Crow's face... It's like it's thinking, "Ooh, a sparkly!"

I also get an Aztec kind of vibe off the sigil.

Perfect as always :D

I really love the shades of green you used for this one. They seem to blend in very nicely with the black.

Some day, when I'm filthy rich, I'm hiring you to do lots and lots of pretty arts for me.
Have you ever done stained glass? I'd be really curious to see how your style would work in it.

Mmm, your art really is lovely. Those are bland, mundane sort of words, but the meaning behind them isn't. Also the sigils really capture my imagination, my minds works in symbols and there is power and meaning in these.

That is stunning. I love your artwork. f I can figure out how to figure out what my totem is/should be I'll be buying some of your work. That said, I might have to buy some anyway, as it's just so gorgeous! Do you have a stock of work for sale or is it commission only or whatever you feel like painting is then up for sale?

You've also inspired me to heavily get back into art again. I have stayed away so long, mostly for fear of judgement of my work. Fuck it though, I'm going to do it for myself! ;)

I know the original is going to the wonderful Crowe, but what about lovely prints? :3

I love this -- all thegreens and blacks together really do speak of "Crow" to me. You've really captured (what I feel is) the jewel-like mystery of this bird. Congrats!
