Description EDIT

Got a better pic of this.

This pic ended up placing first in the soliloquy! I was surprised that the first actual art competition I entered, I won! It was exciting! Also, changed the title to the title it had in the show, my friend Jeanne came up with the name
=================================

Anyways, about the pic.....This was a project for my art class. There's a list of themes that you can pick from, and I picked "The Beauty of Grey", which is also a theme for a 'soliloqy' (sp???) contest thing that I turned this in to.

The inspiration behind this came from when I was sick up in Yellowstone, and most of this was painted to a Van Halen song, and it just sorta popped into my head....I've always thought that ravens and coyotes have been the underdogs in the world, but I love em. In fact, the raven is my favorite bird Other than that, I can't really explain much about it Xo It's supposed to be sort of undefined and mysterious/ominous anyways, so choose your own meaning
I reffed the poses for anatomy and somewhat correct feathers, but other than that no ref used for detail or the BG. Done in ink on illustration board. Sorry the pic doesn't show much detail
=======================

===========

Art to the crazy five legged pirate that steals children's candy in broad daylight

Lyrics/song to Van Halen

Lovely traditional work as usual, it's very pleasing to the eye. <3
The anatomy on both animals looks great, and it's nice to see people draw a good old 'yote now and then. The fur and feather textures are quite believable.
It's amazing what some people can do with grayscale, excellent work, Blitz.

Aww wow ^^ well, don't worry much about the photo shot, at least we can see it at all and I can clearly see that it is a brilliant picture though but seriously, it came out so well! Those trees look so hard to do XD and I love the amount of detail on the raven and coyote here though. Looks great!

If this doesn't show much detail, then the original must be more amazing I like how the coyote has a raven feather, and the raven a coyote claw. Also the composition, it's like they're just turning to look at you, then they'll walk away...like some cliche movie ending? xD

Blitz32 In reply to Talonzi [2007-03-22 23:30:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Talonz
Finally, someone realizes it's a coyote claw!!
Everyone is like, 'what's he got, a tooth or something??'
Teeth aren't black >< XDDD
I know, it does look cliche, that's what I told my art teacher XDD

Talonzi In reply to Blitz32 [2007-03-22 23:52:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah..at first it looked like a tooth...but teeth aren't black and they're probably not that big? xD But it's a different cliche...cause they're not the classic of hair(or in this case fur) blowing in the wind x3.
