Description Pen and ink ( Rotring isograph pens )
13cm x 20.5 cm

I almost went mad doing this picture and to a certain degree I think I may have overdone things with the background. I am preparing a coloured version on the PC at the moment and possibly going to crop the image for a better composition. I would have entered this under the fantasy category except the submissions page won't let me at the moment.

EDIT Managed to edit the info so it is now officially fantasy rather than psychedelic

*jaw drops. That is ...wow. the style is lovely and the details on the wings are great too (especially given that they're done in stippling). The plain white circles are a nice design element that helps it from feeling to heavy.

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. feature ! congrats!
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! xoxo Sandi oxo

Beautiful piece. You have a very special style, which also shows in your other works. I like how you place the head in the lower part of the piece and work upwards with the details. I don't think you have overdone the background, to me everything comes together perfectly in this piece.

Thank you dA, you have FINALLY given a WORTHY deviation the daily dev, i salute you.
So yes. This is a true masterpiece, something different, eye-catching, original, that not only bleeds skill and talent as a fine piece of art should but that speaks of something mysterious, something with heart and soul. And THIS is what a daily dev should be. Lovely, lovely work that, where any words used in praise will always be lacking. So i hope that you can understand what i'm saying

God God--with the stippling and...the stippling...my God, but this is amazing. It reminds me of some of the books I read many years ago with amazing covers. Pen and ink like this is so time-consuming yet it tends not to get the props it deserves here on DA--congrats on the DD. You deserve it.

ouch. That is a crazy amount of detail. You did a wonderful job at it though. The skin is smooth and the wings look like they're about to flap. Great job. This is definitely one of my new favorites. Just curious though, what made you think of this. . . or what does it represent? So many possibilites. ^_~

with all the stipling (sp?) i would go crazy too. i once did a pointlism piece of some guy in a magazine, about 8.5 x 11 inches... i didnt even fill up the entire page (most though) and by the end i was going insane, lol.

lindseycarr In reply to asher27 [2006-02-18 08:39:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah...especially in the bits where you are just doing a flat area.....and you have to pay attention to how well spaced your dots are.
