Critique discouraged because I feel that I am finished with this picture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This picture has taken me quite som time to complete. I do not know exactly how long, but it has been several weeks. I have had quite a lot of things to do lately, so drawing this picture was something I did when I felt that I needed to relieve som stress. It was not stressful at all to do, except for in the end when I did get stressed, because I have to go back to school after my break tomorrow ;3;
Anyway, this picture features a crow in a blossoming cherry tree, at dawn. I am aware of that the colors I have chosen do not look very much like dawn at all, but you will have to imagine that.
Crows are very beautiful creatures, and I have never understood why their reputation is so bad. They are very beautiful, black as the night, but with a lovely shine in their feathers.
Cherry trees are something most people realte to spring and light. Their blossoms are so fragile, only whole for a short time, before they lose their petals; falling down like pink snow in the mild spring weather.
This picture came to my mind one evening when it was snowing outside. The blue tones of the snow dominated the landscape, except for one small light outside. I realized that nothing is as stron as light, especially not when it is warm and reviving. I wished for spring to come, and thought that while I was waiting, I could just as well draw a picture.
Not that spring has arrived yet, but it is certainly a lot closer than when I started drawing.
This picture is mainly a birthday present for a very good friend, who happen to like crows. I agree with him, and I thought I would celebrate his birthday with this picture.
Of course, this picture also goeas out for all of my friends, and even more than that. Everyone who feel moved by this picture, who like a small details or anything, should know that this is a picture which express what I feel.
I appreciate you all so very, very much, and I appreciate your kind words even more!
Since I came to this site, my days have been shining brighter than ever before.
Thank you.

So very beautiful! So these are the flowers you complaining about! I love cherry blossoms and I can't imagine anyone who doesn't. As I predicted they are pretty pretty. n_n
The crow is very well done. I love the sleekness to it. I love crows and ravens. They are pretty and smart birds but cursed with annoying voice. XDD
I love how you included a few stars in the corner there, so it says to me it is indeed dawn; it is bright enough to see but not yet bright enough for the stars to completely fade away into the light.
Anyways I love this piece! Truely an amazing masterpiece.

Aww, thank you for such a sweet comment n_n The flowers were time consuming to do, but I think that the result is pretty good! I am glad that you do as well n_n;;
Yes you are right xD;; Their voices are terrible xD;;
Stars have the ability to give all picture a somewhat dream and fantsy like feel, so I added a few here as well, as that is what I wanted the picture to evaporate n_n;; I am glad that you think it looks like dawn though n_n
Again, thank you!

OMG! Those flowers are amazing! And kudos for that detail! I love that raven and the paint job you did on it. The composition of the blue and pink in the sky works really nicely. Great work!

Oh, is this the flower picture that you were complaining about before? It's very pretty. I, personally, am not too fond of crows (not the way they look, they are pretty birds, but the way they act) because I saw a few of them kill helpless baby bunnies in our backyard when I was younger. I know they have to eat somehow, but still... the babies couldn't even see yet. And their mother was off somewhere else. Also, they like to yell at my kitty. They are loud birds.
But anyway, the picture is gorgeous. I can't wait for spring, either. Spring and fall are the best.

Yes it is = D Thank you ^^
Based upon that, I certainly see why you do not like crows... That is terrible! As you said, they have to eat, but not baby bunnies ;3;
Loud birds I can also agree upon xD;; They like to yell at everyone :3
