Raven at Play by rusalka

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:03:59 -0000

There are some terrific stories about Raven. I'm rather fond of the one in which he impersonates a selfish chief's grandson in order to steal the sun, moon, and stars -- just to release them to the world. He's a bit like Robinhood, or some other such socialist. :)

Organic by vantid

Ravens are so amazingly cool and wonderful and beautiful and I sure didn't draw this one well. He holds a green glass orb swirling with its own life and symbolism. Ravens like shiny things so away he goes. Is he stealing the life as the hard cold technology rises around him? Will he transplant the life somewhere else? Is he punishing us humans and taking off and leaving us devoid of the only company we have on this planet: the other animals we share our world with? Or did the artist just want to draw something shiny? Your choice, you write the story in your own mind, keep it, share it, whatever you like. That's what art is for, making people who view it think and wonder and imagine. That IS inspiration and the most important thing in art for me.

A bit of a break from commission work. Qua! Qua! What do you guys think about graphic black and white commissions like this? It would certainly be mostly artistic interpretation. *thinks*

One. Last. COLLABORATION Ation ation with the AMAZING free hand inker of power and eteranal froofiness, Jennifer "Nambroth" Miller. She drew the gryphon, IN INK...look at those wings!, and I slapped some color on it with Prismacolor Markers. When your marker drawing makes you angry, make it darker.

Searching the Heavens by vantid

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 18:26:43 -0000

"Searching the Heavens" Starfields are vast and quiet and can bring out the loneliness in us all, or can bring out the thread of inspirations. We can look to the sky for freedom, for hope, out of sorrow or desolation, or just to enjoy the beauty the night sky unveils. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This drawing was done completely from the study skinds of a jackdaw (the same used in Organic II) and a female Australian Magpie. That means this is the first piece I have done completely from a "still life", though the colors aren't what they are in life. I still have a deep love for creating glowing images on black paper with colored pencils. This piece is entirely colored pencil, though I am tempted to go back in with some white paint to make the image pop more.

Keen to the Currents by Foxfeather R. Zenkova

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 22:28:50 -0000

This image is available on t-shirts http://foxloft.com/store/shirts/ 2004 - This piece was inspired by the fantastic stylized art of many Northwest Coast tribes of native americans; in particular the Haida and the Tlingit. There is a lot of symbolism in this peice, mostly delving into the nature and mythology that links the wolf and the crow as kin, and their connection to the coast, the ocean, and its natural 'currents', both physical and spiritual.
