Description *EDIT Here's the link to the fanfiction that goes along with this pic I made --> [link]

Happy Birthday to !! Let's celebrate ya'll!! Ok, she wanted a pic of the scene from Birthmark where Raven was on top of the sky needle, with her hair blowing around and stuff, but my drawing hand thought differently... My apologies if this isn't what you wanted, but this is what I cooked up. Methinks it looks better than any Birthmark scene I couldn've done. Anywho, I hope everyone likes it. And yes, it is another Photoshop picture. I sat in front of a screen for 5 hours, then I spent another 3 or 4 here and there doing touch-ups. I've had a headache for days now. In short, no more Photoshop for a while please. I do think this is my best one yet though. I used these pics as a reference --> [link]
I used the one in the fifth row down, and it was the third from the right, if that makes sense. Bah, it's the one where's she's on the building with ther hair blowing around.
Don't judge it by the ref though, becasue it's not supposed to look just like it, I just tried to get a good view of the building and some other things. And no, this isn't attack of the giant birds... They're closer to us than Raven is, so just pretend it looks good, ok? I won't mess around with too much perspective next time. And as for the little raven, I threw it in because I was inspired to write a oneshot fanfic while working on this. At least I don't have writer's block. Anyway, I'll post the fic up later, since I haven't had time to type it up. Ok, one last thought for you guys: I talk and draw in lots of metaphors, so if anyone can guess what this whole pic means, (aka symbolism and such) I'll give you a small request. I know I said I'm not taking requests anymore, but I'm curious to see if anyone gets it before my fic, and everyone likes a little "motivation", right? Anyhoo, happy birthday to ~oOXGraceXOo !!!!

Please full view. Pwetty pwease? It looks prettier.

Really? O.O Wowzers, such a very kind compliment. Thank you very very much. I'm so glad you liked it, and this is one of my old pieces.
You have inspiration? Awesome! Go draw, I wish to see it!

A too? I'm so spoiled. >.< Thank you kindly.

Altarior In reply to raven-of-shadows [2007-11-08 13:56:01 +0000 UTC]

Yep, a fave and a BIG inspiration *star-eyes*
But I think it's gonna take some time before it's finished xP I'm planning to make a big deal out of it, aaand... The last 2-3 drawings I made a big deal of... Kind'a took me a half or a whole month to do o.O (But, okay, that's because I just threw it away and drew a lot of other stuff and then found it again and finished the job in a few days xP) But don't worry, I've got a little cold currently and have to stay home from school... Not much to do, but draw, then I might be done in the weekend

Whoa, this comment ended up being... Long o.O

-^^- You're too kind.
Hey, no problem, it always takes me lots of time to do my stuff too. I'm still trying to do things I should have finished months ago. >.> <.<
Aw, you're sick? No fun, well, except the staying home from school and drawing part. Hope you get better soon, and happy drawing!

Long is good. Doesn't matter to me.

Haha, thanks *Hug-smiley* (Don't really know how to make lots of the smileys, LOL xD *Blush*)
I'm doing better now (after staying home from school the entire week, halleluja ) and I'm actually done o.O Whoa, felt a little bored in the night, waiting for Scary-Hour on Discovery to begin x) "A Haunting" o.O That rocks!! XD Sooh... I guess you can see it? If you want to? Because I didn't draw Raven, I drew someone else... A character only a few on Earth know about... Less than 10, actually >.< And... Most people ain't interested in things they don't know about... Then... Don't know if you still wanna see it? When it isn't someone from a known series? o.O

You're very welcome! (No problem, I was the same way. Who needs smileys anyway? )
Glad to hear that! Glad to hear you finished too. *goes off to look* That was actually really cool. A little scary, but cool. And don't worry, anytime someone wants me to see stuff, I go look anyway. It's the feeling and energy in the picture, not the subject. Keep up the great work.

I'm taking it you are a big fan of Raven. I really like the coloration and mood on this one. It gives you a nastaigic dreamy feeling.

You don't have to. I appreciate you reading it in the first place. I'm not sure of how well it's written, since I've never really written anything before. A request? I suppose I could squeeze one in, but it might be a little while until I finish it. So, what would you like?

Hardly. O_o I just sit down with paper and pencils, then I space out, and when I happen to come back to reality, there's a little picture waiting for me! I don't think that makes me talented.
