Description An experimentation with rain and light involving one of my Muses and most beloved character, Raineater. There's numerous things that I don't like, but then I remind myself I was practicing new techniques and I'm pleased to have learned some new things.

How fitting! I'm uploading this and it just started thundering outside. And here comes the sound of rain upon the house...

Oh, DF, it's a debate between this one and "Consulting" for my favorite....

I love your works! One of these days I'm going to have to buy a copy of this one from you

dont know how i missed this....

very nice dimension and mood
comfortable (as in, not uneasy) proportions, which makes the eyes happy
composition is nice too... you can tell each aspect of this picture has been thought through and treated with importance

great job!

I don't think it is standing against the dark or the storm. I believe that it has come to terms with the storm and accepts the darkness into it. I also have to comment that the picture is very stunning. Excellent job.

Close. Raineater's greatest love is, of course, storms. While storms and darkness are commonly used as symbols of turmoil or fear, in this piece it is something to be celebrated. It isn't a matter of acception, but rather appreciation. Raineater embraces the beauty of night and welcomes the coming of rain. He's my happy little gryphon.

I could make a Snow-something but it wouldn't be Snoweater, since the second part of the name is already in use by Raineater. See, I have many of these gryphons.

Heheheh. I do like the idea of a Snow-somethign one, though. I'll have to think on it and add it to the list

No, it's not that. The species I developed has naming rules I set that I must follow. It consists of only two words combined, like Raineater, Sunsnatcher, Mindbender, etc.

Yeah, I know that. I was just trying to clairfy the reason why it couldn't be what you suggested. I didn't want you to think "Oh, she just doesn't like my idea."
