Description
Spirit Guardians watch over us,As they carry our souls into the skies,
They fly high as our breath is lost,
And returns to the ghost of the earth.
Time: Over the course of a day.
Tools: Pencil crayon (coloured pencils). The sky was done digitally.
Image and phrase (c) Five-Aces (me)
**NOTE**
I agree with those who say the tail is too short
And for those of you who are wondering...that is an ANTLER

I love the use of green in the feathers. Its true, the tail dosn't quite fit, but if you hadn't pointed it our, chances are I wouldn't have noticed.

^^- Aw thanks so much! I'm actually proud of this one, but the original is no longer with me (gift for a best friend's birthday); so I better not lose this copy! haha

Yeah <3 It's amazing!! You should save the file on a disk or something and bring it in to any photostore to get it developed nicely on picture paper :3
That way you'll have a nice print of it~ <33

I adore crows. ^^ This is awesome. I adore the shine on the wings, the green is so lovely. And the clouds have totally blown me away (excuse the un-intentional pun XD)! They looks so real.
Totally awesome job with this.

Very nicely done! Ravens are very tricky to draw properly, and I think you pulled it off quite well!

Thank you so much for the comment! And that is a Native American necklace he's holding. It's based on one that I got as a gift from my mother when she was in Banff.

Thank you very much. Although I wish I could go fix the tail (it's too short) but alas, pencil crayon limits this. Ah well, thank you for all your comments/crits! They help

Aw thank you so much lmao it's too bad about the tail, it's a tad short. Stupid pencil crayons. It's just crayola, not like prismacolours. Why don't you give colouring pencils a try? I'm sure you'd be pretty good

MarquessEris In reply to Five-Aces [2006-01-31 00:52:43 +0000 UTC]
Because I have a very short attention span. I did one piece with colored pencils in my gallery, and that was enough for a very long while.

lol I hear ya. Colouring can really blow. Once I did a piece dedicated to my good friend, and it took me 5 days O.o and many leaves on the trees. Man, I never drew trees again lol

Wow... pretty! I sort of wish you'd kept the continuity--that is, stayed traditional, or stayed digital--but that's a very minor critique. Lovely!!

Five-Aces In reply to FragileWhispers [2006-01-28 21:32:10 +0000 UTC]
Well, the 'digital artworks' that I do ARE traditional...well, it's half traditional. It's just that I use so many digital aspects for the background that it would be unfair to say it's traditional sometimes. Thank you so much!
