Artist's Comments

Inspired by *kyrn's "Crow Bride"

I went back and fixed some things on this. I'll probably move the other version to scraps.

Thanks to everyone for their comments on it.

Worthwhile by =EpicureanPoetry is based on this image and received an Honorable Mention in my Strange Sights Story Contest

AWESOMENESS!!!

Seriously cool.

Comments:
-The crow on the staff has the body structure of a songbird kinda!
-Arms a bit too short. Remember the fingertips should touch roughly mid uppder thigh!
-Chest muscles funny.

Other than that....

I like the changes - this version's a little more organic looking, less digital, and the birds and shadows have been retouched well - but particularly just that it's a bit bigger, so there's more clarity of detail ^-^
The shadow on the chest was good, I didn't realize it was missing, but it makes more visual sense with the lighting and the shadows on the neck now, and gives you more sense of the time of day, which contributes to the mood overall. I love your fey stuff...

More than one artist I respect pointed it out... and when they all pick up on something missing, I figure I probably ought to put it in. :)

And thank you, by the way, for NOT referring to him as an "elf." I get so sick of everyone assuming that because someone has pointed ears, they're elves. I have, to date, painted a total of two elves. And they are labeled as such.

Everything else is open to interpretation. :)

I blame all the mistakes on my complete lack of knowledge of anatomy.

The funny thing to me is that our most 'standard' fantasy interpretation of the concept of "Elves" is the product of a book written within the last century(even if it was a singularly marvelous book.) So when somebody does it, at least you can wishfully-think that they mean "elf" in the sense of the word it was a hundred years ago, when it was still a vague concept that might've meant anything from an odd person to the sidhe to little people to beings who make shoes or children's toys. ^-^
Aside from my optimism, however, I know how it feels, and more than once it's led me to a rapid deceleration of my skull against a hard surface...

Someday I'm going to publish my "Faerie Conspiracy" theory...
