Description
Aesopβs Fable:The Eagle and the Arrow
"AN EAGLE sat on a lofty rock, watching the movements of a Hare whom he sought to make his prey. An archer, who saw the Eagle from a place of concealment, took an accurate aim and wounded him mortally. The Eagle gave one look at the arrow that had entered his heart and saw in that single glance that its feathers had been furnished by himself. "It is a double grief to me," he exclaimed, "that I should perish by an arrow feathered from my own wings."
This is an Illustration that I made for my, "Animal art and folklore," class at MIAD.
The objective was to pic one of Aesop's Fables and illustrate it incorporating traits from an Illustrator that you admire.
The illustrator whom I got inspiration can be found here. [link]
I really enjoyed expanding my own style and exploring new ways of doing things. The BG I am especially proud of and hope to make more works like it.
Corel Painter and Wacom Tablet.
9 hours.
!Absolutely no stealing!
I decided to take away the watermark for aesthetic reasons, so please don't make me regret it.
Comments are welcome.
Enjoy.

is it double grief because the arrow is made from his wings?
