Very very cool
"It was for all the world like an eagle, but one indeed of enormous size; so big in fact that its quills were twelve paces long and thick in proportion. And it is so strong that it will seize an elephant in its talons and carry him high into the air and drop him so that he is smashed to pieces; having so killed him, the bird swoops down on him and eats him at leisure".

I've seen roc's in video games and such, but i've never seen one represented as being that large. XD
I mean, IT'S HUGE!!! I want one as a pet! (I probably wouldn't survive very long as its master though...)

So yeah, I'm just browsing through your art tonight - the entirety of your gallery seems to be absolute masterpieces. I am in love with your work.
I also love that you do plenty of pieces on mythological beings. I've always enjoyed learning about them. ^_^
As always, good job!
