Description "And you can hear those screams and cry, crawling up you back and share your spine. While you flee from them, 'cause that is what you have to do, son, remember that sound: that is the voice of Sorrow, caged in the throats of unfortunate creatures." 

Back to some Black and White! I wonder how many lines I did in this piece! XD
Harpies, unlike mermaids, are pretty often portraied just like mischiveus and cruel, more as greedy witches than beautiful enchantress, so I decided to give them a chance ^^

I think it was an excellent choice to leave the skin with no marks or lines, and the geometric feathers make this all so interesting. Really wonderful!

thank you very much. I agree. If I did put lines also on her skin, it would have been just too much (if it is not already XD)

I cursed myself at first because of the wings: I was so afraid to make a mess! But in the end--well, it turned out great! XD
The texture is not mine, taken on the internet a century ago..unfortunately I have no credits or clue where it comes from, but I hope nobody gets mad because of this. ^^

Honestly the style you did this in is one of my favorites!  I used to do pieces with tea-stained paper and seeing this just inspires me to want to do another piece like that again.

I really enjoy working with this style as well and thanks for your words: be someone else's source of inspiration is awesome!
