Description
A commission for a new gothic magazine called "Arcane Octane", about Edgar Poe. I was commissioned for 3 drawings; The subject of this first drawing was "reflection of Poe in the eye of a raven". I used shadows so we can see both the complete raven and its eye's close-up. I hope that Poe looks more or less like the real onePen & ink, washed ink on paper (22cm x 28cm).

Very nice. I adore the idea and the way it's executed. Poe himself would be proud.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor........
I love Edgar Allen Poe. He is my favorite writer.

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the raven: "Nevermore".
"Why you little - !"
I'm sorry ... I couldn't resist

Hi!
Sorry for this cut and paste comment! I featured this awesome deviation of yours in my news article βA Tribute to Edgar Allan Poeβ. I hope you donβt mind the feature. If you prefer not to be featured in this article, tell me please and I will do my best to get your deviation removed from it. You can find the news article here: [link] This is an absolutely amazing drawing. I love the chosen angle and the close-up on the raven, also the wide range of contrasts and shades and how beautifully you texturized the interior.

I took this a different way before I read your comment, which isnt a bad thing. I took it as if the raven were sitting at the top of the stares in a spooky house and at the bottom of the stair railing there was a glass ball that Edgar Allan Poe was reflecting in. Great work by the way.

ahh "The Raven". One of my favourite poems. The image of Poe in the raven's eye is most intriguing and effective.
