“My burning fate is seething with hate, I will set this kingdom a light.”

I put a lot of effort into this piece so this is most likely one of the best digital artworks I have ever done. I have not done any serious realistic drawings in a while and I wanted to use the full potential of my Wacom Cintiq 21UX instead of doing another traditional art piece like this one: [link] essentially this pieces is a digital version of that one. The traditional one took 10 hours on my lap at my Mums house while this one to 20 to 25 on my pen tablet. There was no traditional sketch for this piece; the sketching was all done on my pen tablet.

But yeah, anyway. This is a drawing of Eve in the middle of one of the weird dreams she keeps having if you have read my fan fiction you will understand what I am talking about. That light in her eyes is like the light at the end of the tunnel, although every time she tries to run or fly towards it she does not get any closer. I worked from photograph for this drawing, so it is a matte painting.

Title is from this song: - Looks that kill by Mötley Crüe

"Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart

Now she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
You might not make it back

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill

She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bulletproof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a number thirteen

The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on our juice, boy
So she turns on the power

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill

She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bulletproof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a number thirteen

The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on our juice, boy
So she turns on the power

She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill"

Thank you for the critique. Yeah, I did not have anything set for the lighting, I imagined it to be a soft glow from the moon or something where the viewer is.

It is OK. I think you did well.

I really like the idea of this! The mouse is really full of life. That's mostly because you have made the eye so realistical and great. The wonderfully drawn eelid and the great glow effect in the eye makes it emotional. Also I adore your fur! It's great

Love owls, I just so happened to find your piece in a "recommendations list".

I instantly thought of the book series "Guardians of Ga'Hoole", where owls did have such armor and one of the main characters had a mask like this.

I love this piece.

Owl are awesome. This owl is even more awesome.

And yes, this is based off a faction which is based on the book series Guardians of Ga'Hoole. I think the character you are thinking of is Kludd AKA Metalbeak, the High Tyto of the Pure Ones. Eve, my character, is also a Pure One.

Also thank you!
