Description This is a tattoo commission of raven with blues, blacks, and purples. The commissioner wanted it to have a bit of a fantasy look and to come across as more of a protector rather than sinister.

This is beautiful, absolutely magnificent!

The colours work perfectly and the attention to detail is impeccable. The detail is just enough that it doesn't overpower the rest of the work and not to little to not add something to it as well.

Not many pictures on here capture my eyes like yours, especially this one (as well as the majority of your wolves e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Lick)"/> ) with the fascinating colour schemes and the variety of you work as well.

The proportions (other than the body which looks a bit short for were the legs and the wings lie) are well done and the wings are fabulous.

Keep up the incredibly work and I look forward to seeing more of your artwork e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

This is a really good work. The use of water colours is wonderfull.
The use of the shadows on the wing is well done, but the wings just after the beak shall be a little darker.
After that i think the colours that have been use are great, i really like the top part of the wings and the feathers around the hind legs.
Finally for me the body must be a little longer, or the head a little smaller, there is a missing claw on the left leg.

This an amaizing picture at all.
Please still painting and surprising us with yours desings

I like this tattoo design, the vibrant colors of the blue, purple and gray, mesh very nicely together. The left wings look a little out of perspective, or symmetry for the tattoo. The sizes should be switched to create depth of flight. The feet are different because one has four-ish and the other has three. I really love this piece and I don't know what else to say but good job and 100 words for a critique is ridiculous, so i'm gonna type in some randomness. troll lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol ROFL e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="17" height="23" alt="" title=""/> awesome lol lol lolol.

Texture: Adds depth enough it looks like you can touch it
Form: Definitely enhanced by color
Space &shape: Good proportions
Color: Beautiful
Value: The Value in this piece is quiet nice and very unique to the artist You have a very nice variation of lights vs dark's which adds depth to the picture
Line: Your use of lines is unique, you use them to show the direction of the feathers as well as to add detail to the overall image
I hope this helps, I've been an art student my whole life. You did very good and i'm happy with how it has turned out, you did very well especially doing it as a commission but still staying true to your own art style

It definitely does not come off as being sinister, and you have the right feel for it, definitely e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> The colors are striking, and give that impression of masculine protecting, as does the pose that the raven is in. However, to me, the wings are not quite big enough proportionally, and makes it look a bit more like a sparrow.

If it was going to be tattooed in a place where the wings need to be condensed for the sake of space, it would still work, but I would consider looking into proportion if it was going to be put in a place where there is more room.

I hope you don't mind if I borrowed this for a visual inspiration for an rp thread between my OC and another character...Β  I said it wasn't mind and explained I just found it in a google search.

I know that I PMd you this but:
Again, I thank you. This piece has given life to my little girl who I lost in 2014. Three days ago I went for my touch up where my artist actually threw in some hot pinks and yellows to this.

Your art is phenomenal and has been absolutely life changing for me. Your art has given a contrasting beauty and lightness to a dark and painful memory. Thank you so much.

Very beautiful! The color combination is lovely and the splashes of turquoise really add to the mystical/ fantasy look. I like how the feathers are just slightly tattered in his wings and tail like he's been on a long journey.

I think the fantasy look is down and it doesn't look sinister, but it doesn't really scream protection to me in the face. The wings do, but just not the face. But I do love it, just giving you my opinion.

Shouldn't the right wing be bigger than the left wing? If you look at the angle and which one is closer...otherwise, great work!

Hey again! Well, here is my opinion (too lazy to write a critique..and I don't really know how it works XD): I think it is a very beautiful piece as always, though the rather high use of blue and purple in comparison to black somehow makes me think of other birds (like a kingfisher...I don't exactly know why XD). In addition, that bluish colors make it seem a bit cold which, in my opinion, contradicts a bit to the image of a protector..(but it's hard to convey that image with those colors, I admit). The pose itself does fit very well to that idea. All in all I would have used more darker (blue) tones because when I think of fantasy I think either of very bright colors, or darker, decent colors, especially for a raven.
I hope you don't feel insulted or anything, I still really like this piece (well...black is always good XD) I just wanted to give you my (rather futile) thoughts about this, I hope you don't mind
