Description *Edit, June 19th 2010; here's the color version [link] *

I had a bit of a conflict with the stupid ass Mac . It seemed that it didn't want me to crop down the image size. But I did finally manage to reduce the gigantic size down to 700x1000 (believe me, it was much more larger than this!).
Conclusion: I hate Mac with passion.

Anyway.... about the drawing....This is just a practice + it's also part of my coursework (*cough shit work *cough!).

It's a flock of ravens. I know it's still not good enough to actually show that this is a flock of raven inspiration came from this:
[link]
So to say, that raven-man-thing is being created by a large amount of ravens.

Oh if someone asks... Yes, it's a he, and he's an anti-hero/villain (O__O how can you possibly see that he's a good guy when he looks sinister? He could be But that's up to you ).

Now as for the critique, I know that there's something wrong with all those ravens there. If you take a closer look (I'll be damn, I hope you don't do it! -__-) at the ravens, you see a mutant ravens!!! They are quite mishape (misshape!?), + they may look like a bat. Well I guess I couldn't find a better ref. than I had to watch U2 music video "Hold me, Kill me, Thrill me" in Youtube. You can see at the beginning, you see Riddler speaking and then a flock of bat flapping their wings and appear toward us. What I did. I had to pause the video for like a lot which I just can't count.

What else..... hmmm possibly I did need to be a bit cleaner with pencils -_-.... I had smudge it everywhere. Could have used gloves...........

During time finish sketch: 25 min cause of how bad I draw raven, I had to do a lot of research to get it right. >_<.

Finish the drawing: 2 days cause of lot of ravens. Well sort of finish. I may have to redo more of it after the teachers have handed all our works back.

In the future: This one will be colored in Photoshop.

Borderline: Don't like it? You can bite my shiny ass!

Hello stranger! I haven't commented on any of your stuff for a while so I'll do so now . This drawing is absolutely brilliant! I think its how you arranged the compsition that makes it really effective. I like how the ravens seem to be materialising out of black smokiness too. Real nice!

Howdy! It has been a while indeed!! Awww thank you! Everyone seems to like this one.
The next time, you'll be seeing it in color (Photoshop based of course).

Once again, thank you

You know, it's a shame that Jenny doesn't want to have her artworks up. Cause her works is good. People in DA fancy anime/manga, I'm pretty sure that she would gain a lot attention for her talent

I can't remember when was it, but I'm sure it must be long . He's in a bird family so I assume he would taste like a chicken

Thevakien In reply to Minionslayer [2007-04-23 13:41:55 +0000 UTC]

I like chicken as well. Mmmmmm yum . You know what? I'm still considering to find his name - a very fancy name/cool name.
.................Still manage to find it though .

Oh yeah, he's not a shapeshifter......he can just turn into a flock of raven and can come out from shadow.....(almost every black dressed creatures do that ¬_¬). Sounds like cliche to me.
Would be fun to make a comic out of him

Minionslayer In reply to Thevakien [2007-04-23 13:44:44 +0000 UTC]

you make sabre hungry xD

its not that cliche
oh a comic would be cool

Thevakien In reply to Minionslayer [2007-04-23 14:16:30 +0000 UTC]

He makes me hungry .......my stomach is calling me! Mmmm tasty.
A comic of something randomness of him. I need practice within comic making.

I probably haven't said much about raven man. His eyes is round like you see. I haven't decided if he's gonna have pupils in his eyes or not. One thing I know is that he's eyes will glow during at night. Color would either be red or green OR yellow (or white). Well I have a character already that has green eye colors grown at night. So....................... I'm in between red and yellow. >_< hard to pick!
I will have an experiment and see which color suits him .

Minionslayer In reply to Thevakien [2007-04-23 18:17:03 +0000 UTC]

hmm that is a hard choice.. red and yellow both seem to suit him.. red is always good though

Thevakien In reply to Minionslayer [2007-04-23 18:25:11 +0000 UTC]

He's the creature of the night (sort of)
- in the shadow he stalks
- in the light he barks......errr.......no he doesn't. Scratch that.

I will test it in Photoshop so let's see how his fate will be determined

ok... but i think red would be the best

Thevakien In reply to Minionslayer [2007-04-23 21:22:11 +0000 UTC]

Ah the evil eye color . I will try both yellow and red. See how the result will be and I will let you know

God you are so added to my I wish I could draw like you list. It does look quite supernatural.

Thevakien In reply to Shakahnna [2007-04-21 00:34:58 +0000 UTC]

Awww thank you . C'mon, it's very easy! Although I can see some mistakes within the raven-man's beak.... It looks weird. I'll hear what other artists will have to say. I seem to love criticisim from now on. It's very helpful even though it can be a bit harsh to hear - but what else can you do than learn from mistakes?

"I wish I could draw like you list" = Of course you can draw! It's just a matter of practice Believe me, there's nothing that practice oh and + observation from real life . You know... this was my second time to draw ravens. The first one I did was like 2 years ago. You can find it in my gallery.
Hehe I LOVE supernatural, maybe that's the point I guess . If you want, I can draw you another one..... If you happen to like raven or crow....or err Wesker as a raven-man!?!?!?!?!? That sounds a good idea!

Says you I think it's aces and you did swell, it really doesn't look like mistakes to me. I just wish I could be more helpful to you but I'm not good enough myself to offer critism at all. I am definitely going to practice more though like really I think on this site everyone is so talented tis just made. You are so generous with your art though, am so glad to have met you

Awww it's ok if you don't have any criticisims, it's not an idea one if you can't see any mistakes.
But aww that's the nicest thing ever .

Thank you soooo much! So...how about a critique? C'mon, I know you want to. . I wouldn't mind. I would love to hear what's wrong with it so I can destroy him hahahahahahha!

Just kidding .

I want and still wanting to color him in Potatoshop . Soon!

hissylizard In reply to Thevakien [2007-04-23 17:29:26 +0000 UTC]

I don't really have a critique for it, other than the fact that the lighting on the bird's back makes it look like his torso, and thus his head is twisted at an awkward angle. But that could just be me. But I would not destroy this piece, it is truly remarkable

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Thevakien In reply to hissylizard [2007-04-23 17:39:44 +0000 UTC]

Awww that is actually his torso. It's a raven-man. I see that there's somethhing wrong with his head, but he's supposed to do that...... I can't see anything wrong with it. Maybe I need to use mirror to see the mistake again. ¬__¬ But nonetheless, I won't be changing it until later.

Wow.....no critique... amazing

I think they look awesome! And hey, even if you think the ravens look like bats - bats are just as sinister/villainous looking

Your ass is shiny??

Thevakien In reply to blazer87 [2007-04-20 16:20:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeah the ref. is originally from bats (cause that's the only good quality. I tried to do "swarm of ravens" = Nothing came up. -__-, so I just go with the ref. of bats instead ).

Yeah. "Bite my shiny ass" Cause they are shiny..... Just kidding. It could also be "bite my shiny metal ass" - Bender
