Description
Commission forDone in watercolors, colored pencils and ... spraypaint.
Been listening to The Hush Sound, so yes the title is both because of the band, and because I've always thought that was exactly what it would be like if you could fly. Ever had those dreams where you were a bird and flying? Or seen nature shows that show a bird gliding... or hell, even been there to see a large bird of prey fly? They make almost no sound, but there's this soft rustle of feathers that's almost indescribeable. The hush sound makes me think of that moment of flight. And so when I was working on this I was thinking it would probably be eerily silent. Just two large creatures gliding along.

I adore your work and I have taken great pleasure in watching you grow and improve.
Right now I feel very trapped in my life. There is something about the images you have been sharing that bring joy to my heart, remind of the beauty in the work and make me feel some of the peace that I seem to have lost. Thank you

How in the world do you mix watercolor and pencils so well?? Which do you put on first? Did you block off the dragons when you used watercolor or what?? I really love how you've blended the two medias. I have watched you're artwork every now and then over the past few years (i remember you from elfwood) and you'r art has really blossomed!! i look forward to continue watching your work!! ^_^

depends on what I'm doing and what colors I'm using. Usually I watercolor first, then I do the pencil in after.

I love that band
But on to the art, because that's the important part! This is really beautiful! I love the gryphon, the aerial view of her(?) is so breathtaking! the feathers are just so beautiful! And that dragon is amazing! I love the subtle veining in the wings and the beautiful color green that you used! And the hair is just really cool!

I know exactly how it feels to want to fly and hear the hush sound.
This piece is so good it made a chill go down my spine.
Nice work.

wonderful title, you really do get a sense of the pause between wing flaps and the soundless gliding of the two. perspective is very good, the scale of the two are very well done and helps to add to the sense of depth, love the smooth colouring and the foggy sense of misty clouds you get from the spray paint, gorgeous!
