Description Angels & demons circle above me..Through the thorns of the stars
Only those unable to percieve it's call... do not know happiness
Watch in Awe... watch in Awe

I am calling! Calling now! Spirits rise & falling.. To remain myself longer...
Calling... Calling... never will I look away for what life has left for me!
Yearning... yearing... for whats left to love...

*Lyrics* copyright Origa/Shanti Snyder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well all It's been awhile since I posted something really intrigueing ^_^;
this is an old sketch as you can see *still in gallery*... but I decided to finalize it at last!
the wings alone took me two weeks of inking and drawing during my lunchbreaks at my occupation.. it seems that has been the only time I have to work on such tedious matters as individual feathers O-o;

as of the finalization!
My character Ryoku was made entirely with *real* media! thats right! I used some friggin pencils for once! XP
and I couldn't have been happier considering all the problems I face when attempting to color something!
the BG was made by manipulateing some pictures I have on my computer and hand-drawing alot of things with my new tablet that im still getting used to!

Please enjoy this pic! I put a great deal of time, effort, and a great deal of myself into createing this!

+++total creation time 40+ hours+++

Whoa, Hey cool. I never actually expected a response Sorry for not getting back to ya a lot sooner, too. I'm just a poor college student and lost my 'net access at my apartment for the past 25 odd days or so. I really appreciate the encouragement! Perhaps when I get myself back online, i'll pester ya for some critique or two. 'till then, take care dude. And thanks again.

alright, i told you i would comment when i could thing of something not retarded to say..so here goes.

I've always admired your skill and your time that you put into your pictures. you put your heart and soul into everything that you draw and it shows.


I know your working on revamping your style, but this...this is truly a masterpiece. You have tried to hide how proud you are of this piece, but look at it, bro. its gorgeous, the amount of detail in those wings is amazing, you truly have proven your skill and talent.

I know how much ryoku means to you, and those of us who truly know you for who you are, he has touched a part of us all.

be proud and stay strong little bro.

I used a hybrid style to reinforce the coloring I already did... basically I upped the contrast just a little to blend it with the bg ^_-

Looks like this pic is racking in the favorites, eh, buddy? :3
I guess you found the medium you're most talented at, yush? I can't ever work with real media; I suck at it. But I'm glad you found something to work with that makes your work oh so beautiful.
And you're not so bad with Photoshop, either. Just imagine how much you'll improve after going to art school!
