Description
What what!? I made some art for myself! (or more expressly, for the MFF art show)There are some light washes of pearlescent ink in here (which you can't see in the scan, but if you come to MFF it'll be up in the show!) as well as text which, depending on which way you turn it, is either absolutely hidden, or somewhat legible. It's broken by the background, but in full reads:
Didn't I tell you it would one day come to this? That the earth would crack. That the sky would fall. The old owl woman read it in her pattern. And I, for one, did not disbelieve her.
The text is absolutely unobtrusive, which was what I was going for. It just adds that extra bit of something for those willing to look close enough.
P.S. Thank you for the DD!
This is definitely my favorite out of my most recent work, and I'm really glad to see people responding to it so well.

I've featured this here: [link] I love the concept & execution. This is one of the best anthropomorphic birds I've ever seen.

There's something very otherworldly and magical about this picture, like a fairytale or a half-remembered dream. You really captured something here! Try listening to Nox Arcana's Labyrinth of Dreams while looking at it.
Amazing work!

Really good stuff. The text is unobtrusive, yes, but adds an interesting extra layer nonetheless. And the lighting and colors are superb. Definitely caught my eye, and that's saying something since your whole gallery is most impressive on the whole.

Your anthros astound me. Really nice work on this barn owl.
Wow, I guess there's another bird that can tell the future. I thought the only one that could was killed.

Wow, amazing work, this is really impressive.
For some reason, this reminds me of a painting by the artist Remedios Varo, I think it was called the Creation of the Birds or something like.
Incredible work with the colors and the lighting, it is really well done.
