Description Not much to say about this one... except that I was listening to "Bright Eyes" by Simon and Garfunkel, among quite a few other songs, and realized some of the lyrics made me think of this.

I tend to draw things when I chat with people; phone or otherwise. This was worked on a few hours each day for a few days. I think I used a ref from corbis for the hand, but other than that, the rest was made up. So again, anatomy could be better. xD

Also, while I'm jabbering away here: if you're wondering where my new icon came from, it's from another painting I recently finished, but have not put here yet. :o

Time taken: No clue, but at least a few hours
Tools used: Painter Classic, Photoshop elements for borders/etc, and a tablet

Wow, amazing work. I love the way the character looks like he'd be wearing a mask. This piece has an amazing, slightly eerie feeling to it.

Great job on that shading, it's so cool.

What an original character, he's really awesome looking. Cool background, too.

Brilliant! I love the effect of the black and white and the contrast of the creature and the background.

Bright eyes, burning like fire. . .

That's such a beautiful song. And a great picture to come from it, too. This single creature, sitting alone in a rocky, cloudy, desolate place. He (she? it?) Looks sort of. . . not really sad, I guess. More. . . hopeless, somehow, all bent in upon himself and looking for anything that might shine or have a bit of color to it.

All the philosophical crap aside, the fur looks soft and fluffy ^^ I want to pet it.

Such a deep story.. then bam! XD Anyway, heck, if it'd let me, I'd want to pet it too.

Thank you so much, Teratornis. <3

Of course ^^ Your artwork always seems to have some sort of story behind it.

The muscle definition is amazing I just love this. The perspective on the arm coming toward the camera is perfect.

And that's a great song you were listening to, too ^^

...Wow. That's just amazing. Love the mane.

One thing: the near foot appears to be much smaller than the far one

Hajari In reply to Hajari [2007-07-19 10:46:31 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, actually, the more I look at it, it seems to be correctly proportioned. It just doesn't seem to be on quite the right angle for foreshortening to have quite as much effect >_> Maybe it's just me.

Beautiful picture though.

Ah! No, you're right. It is quite a bit off. It's wierd how sometimes you need another person's eyes to notice something. xD; Thank you for telling me!

And I'm glad you like it! :}
