X___X Holy crap, man. Done ENTIRELY in crowquill pen, which as many of you may know, take s a long-ass ammount of time. ><; Working with the nib of a pin the size of...well the tip of a crowquill! xD You know. The kind of thing that John Hanncock used to sign the declaration and all.So the story on this one...X_X Placed 3rd in the dirstrict art show in pen and ink -my first placing since middle school. (Only got to send a few things in since then....one guess as to why...~_~) -AND- at the school art show, I randomly was offered a price on this one. oO MY price, no less. By a completely random person. The only thing to be offered a price on in the school art show. (Which by no means was I the greatest.)
EAT THAT MRS. BRINKERSCHNOFFIN!!!
^^
-BUT-
I politely declined the offer as, one -I'd no idea what to sell it for, and two -I liked it too. xD And it's my first REAL pen and ink...so shyeah.

This is a sweet inking project of yours, and it turned out wonderfully! No wonder you're proud of it, and I don't blame you for not selling it to just keep it ^-~ *Favs*

Wow. Awesome musculature and such a realistic face on the guy. (I notice I tend to draw my animals, particularly my lions, with almost Disney-like faces @_@ ).
Crow-quill... hmmm... I wonder if working with that is anything like working with caligraphy pens or Rapidiograph tech pens. I enjoy working with both of those, and they can get very detailed, meticulous, and a bit tedious if working in a large area. (And my Rapidiograph pieces never scan well! )
I like this quite a lot. Those are horns on him, right? Wahaha, I love that. I once bought a Duel Masters action figure though I am not a fan of nor have ever watched Duel Masters just because it was a skeletal lion with horns - the thing embodied almost all of my weird little fetishes: Lions, Bones, and Horns-on-fantasy-critters. It even had bony wings. If only it had feathers, it would have been perfect. XD.

Wow, very nice! I've always wondered how people achieve that nice texturing / shading effect with only two colors. And on top of that, this was all done with a quill? Did you have to keep shaving it down, or did you just use the blunt, natural end?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Ah. Well actually it was done with a -metal- crowquill pen. Same effect, same density. Just not as much of a hassle to shave or anything. ^^

Aha, that makes sense. I recently descovered the majesty of caligraphy pens, myself, so I've had an eye for this kind of stuff lately... and your signature is incredibly true.

I have chimeras in the novel I'm currently working on. They have three heads, though - lion head, goat head, and a tail that's a snake-ending with the snake's head... modeled off the traditional mythic chimera. I have a colored pencil piece of one like that on my gallery, too.
Then again, they can be portrayed in different ways. I can't believe how many ways I've seen gryphons and manticores portrayed. I've even seen many differing versions of unicorns.
Yay for not-oft-celebrated fantasy animals!

Ya that is how I think they are, but it still just reminds me of one.
Gryphons on the other hand I try to keep to the original design, I so do love gryphons
