Lovely. The colors work so well together. Nice depth, too. And I like how things become more crowded as my eyes travel downward.

I love it, did you get the "3 layer" (meaning perspective layers) style with photoshop, or with the pencils?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Nivalis70 In reply to kistrix [2011-05-17 05:40:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much ^__^ black lines are made with pencil, while the layers behind are painted with tablet then processed with 'Find edges' Photoshop filter, in order to get a 'wet' effect it's a mix of hand work and digital retouch

MERLIIIII *A* Io adoro i merli! Sono troppo teneri quando li vedi saltallare sul marciapiede >3< Belli cicci *A* *spupazza merlo*
Comunque mi piace molto, merli + ulivi = bell'accostamiento v.v

Sembrano l'allegra combriccola che vive nel mio giardino...in questo periodo come me sono molto indaffarati.... La natura Γ¨ MERAVIGLIOSA rappresentata dalle tue mani ancora di piΓΉ........ Mi piace tantissimo come curi i dettagli meticolosamente, il colore delle foglie di ulivo Γ¨ perfetto, le sfumature il movimento frenetico di queste bestiole furbissime emerge tutto da questa gioiosa immagine...BRAVISSIMA, come sempre, ARTISTA !!!!

Sono simpatici i merli hanno l'abitudine di raspare e buttare all'aria ogni cosa, eh, ma sono troppo buffi, specie i maschi, con quegli occhietti cerchiati ^_^
Grazie mille

...quegli occhietti mi osservano sempre quando sono intenta a far lavori in giardino...pronti all'attacco del buffet che si ritrovano quando finisco...comunque Γ¨ vero che sono molto simpatici, il loro fare spensierato e indisturbato mi mette allegria ^___^..

It's really nice, I like the transition from top to bottom. It's like a spring morning where the sun haven't pierced the fog yet, but if it does it's going to be a wonderful day. Also I love the birds and I wonder if there's some rivalry going on, there are after all three males but only two females.

On another note I never knew they were called blackbirds, they are called solsorte (sunblacks) in Danish XD

Nivalis70 In reply to Mokulule [2011-04-19 05:11:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank you ^^ the colour transition is partially inspired to the dawn, and partially it's because the image needed a complementar colour to turn out more pleasing
Maybe there's a rivalry among them I like so much this kind of birds ^^ in Italy we call it "Merlo" (singular, from Turdus Merula). Solsorte, meaning sunblack is a nice name!

Mokulule In reply to Nivalis70 [2011-04-19 05:53:26 +0000 UTC]

I'd say it worked^^

I really like them as well. They are one of the few birds that winters in Denmark, though only the males for some reason - females and young birds flies south. I always thought that was strange

Thank you so much! I can't believe such a beautiful present!

It reminds me of my village, so peaceful and full of olives. And you made the birds really sweet here. It is such a natural portrait, like a photo!

I wish you all the same! Have a nice day, full of happines and creativity!
