Description It took me all weekend but I finally finished this picture. I've been meaning to do a version of Eagle Dance for a while that had a background in it. Unfortunately when I was doing Eagle Dance, I mistakenly saved over my original file with a file that had the background colour I was using as a placeholder embedded in with the rest of the picture.

So finally, here it is. Hope you all like! The character is Kasimir, my tengu guy.

Love the mask and the background, you did a great job on the pose, too. ^^

Hmmm, makes me think of the time I got to go to the opening of this really cool Native American museum. I got see some dances from my culture, along with the other Native American groups. It was amazing! ^^

The other day I was pondering over what, exactly, Kasimir looked like. I wanted to draw fanart ;_; Anyway, I'm glad you posted this! He's adorable : < You should definitely post more often (here on dA and on the RP XD)

Yesh, I like Kasimir too. I was thinking of doing some of him being all supernatural, but on like a city street or something, like the crow demon in our midst. I want to draw his crow form too. I think it would be a fun challenge.

oooh, I love the wings!
And the background is great.

For some reason, it makes me cold.
Maybe just the fact that he's barefoot on the mountains.

Great composition too

Thanks! I think this one turned out really good. I feel as if I've been in a bit of a drawing rut, so I'm happy!

Don't know why, but the Raven theme works for him.

I love his hair.

And his eyes.

And the feathers.

.... and everything else in the picture. XDDD

This is really cool.


...and I really want to know where he got those feathers.

nice!
the only thing that appears a little off is the way he is holding the mask - somehow as a physics student that part doesn't work for me.

Maybe, I wanted it to look effortless.

It's gorgeous! I love the shade you chose for the skin, and as usual your shading is impeccable. Great job!

Wooow, that's awesome I love the detail in his costume, particularly his mask X3

Did you do something a bit different with the coloring in this piece? He seems shinier or sharper or something... XD Not that it's bad! It just strikes me as different

cursed-sight In reply to Jenovan [2008-04-23 16:38:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was trying to get the shadows a little deeper so it felt like he was in the sun. I find my lighting often has a lot to be desired. I'm a little sad though because I pumped the contrast up on the wings a little too high, then saved it. It turned out alright anyway though.

Yeah, there's definitely a feeling of direct sunlight here, it looks great! :3
