I like the shades of blueish black you've managed to blend together

Love the irridecence on the feathers.
I think the bright metallic of the knotwork creates a bold contrast against the raven, almost silhouetting it.

Very nicely done. I love the subtle colors, especially the purplish-blue in the eyes and on top of the head.

Amazing work! I have trouble making myself go this dark with watercolors. It's a shame metallic stuff never scans right though.

thanks! I like the tube colors in watercolors, but I mix them with the dry kits to get the colors darker. I think the dry pigments fade a bit over time though.
I wish i could get the same effects in real life as I can with photoshop sometimes... the silver marker looked good, but I like the digital effects a little better now.

Ah, see, I'm not sure I have any in tubes anymore... Also I sometimes have to push myself to be bolder with color intensity.
The catch with the different medias is nothing traditional will ever look quite the same in a scan, and nothing digital will ever look quite as good printed. Something always gets lost in the translation.
