Description
This was actually another ink-stain on a dirty paper. I just had to add a few strokes with the brush.Trying to get more spontaneous and quick in some sketches again

A little disturbing, but I really like it. It reminds me of a strange thing that happened a few weeks ago when they released two white doves at the Vatican and a crow and a seagull immediately attacked them.

oh my!
Yeah, seagulls can be pretty aggressive. I remember a scene at the north sea when a woman with some fries got mobbed by a whole flock until she dropped them and ran away. Hitchcock says hello...

this one really speaks to me because my wife used to say that when we were dating, we were like a crow chasing a dove. Β this one has a special little place in my heart. Β

She's far too elegant to be the crow, and i'm too rough around the edges to be a dove. Β XD Β
Actually, woul you mind if I gave this to my wife as a valentines gift? Β I think she'd love it. Β

Nice contrast of birds, given their symbolism. I really like the detail in the feathers on the dove and the legs of the crow. I also really like the strong black of the crow.

The only thing I didn't like about it from the very beginning was the black feather-like thing in the beak of the crow. But it was there in the random ink stain and I had to use it somehow. Perhaps I'll do a photoshop version of it without the feather/piece of meat/caterpillar to see huow it would look.Β
Thanks Marie!
