Description A painting for Kyribird on Gaia. I've never painted wings before so that was probably the most difficult part. The feathers are supposed to morph into sharp blades, but I'm not sure if I pulled that off so well.. But I really like his torso, I'm so glad I found *mjranum-stock 's gallery; it's full of excellent stock photos of men.

I uploaded some close-ups to my scraps if anyone is interested: [link]

Hey Ori~!
Wow thats beautiful!!!
The wings look great, you can definitely see that they become blades, too. n__n
And the shading and anatomy is to die for.

You were amazing to begin with, but you improve with every piece, I envy you.

All I have to say is this:

You did him absolutely amazing and for trying so many new things with this piece, you should be very proud of that. You have made me very, very very very happy, and I can swear to you, that. I love the small details you put in, how you remembered the soulstone, and the scars on his body. So'har's detail is also very amazing.

And his eyes.

You captured him brilliantly, and I thank you.

I am very very happy that you liked it!
I must have read through all the descriptions you gave me about a hundred times trying to get everything right.. I could find anything about colour or design for the pendant though, so I made something up..

ReclusiveDreams In reply to Edana [2008-03-26 05:30:57 +0000 UTC]

You got the color right The only design I've ever done is a small shard. But that works just fine

*gasp* yay it look beautiful! Very wonderful torso indeed and very beautiful job with the wings!! I love what you done with the background too, it match the whole picture well! ^^ I'm sure Kyribird gonna be so thrilled to see this! You put alot of work into it afterall! ^_^ I also like how you made the slits in the sword, it does made it look a bit feathery!

Thank you!
I wish I had the time to do a proper background for this, but it was already taking so long, and I really liked this texture. The sword design was Kyribird's, but I think it's the first time I've tried painting a sword too, so I'm happy with how it turned out!
