done in photoshop 6.0 using a wacom 4x5 tablet. took about 7 hours.

this is the first pic i've done after months away from drawing... feels good to be back.

Wonderfull very moody!!
Maybe you could some more lightsources, and different colors....it looks a bit grey

great for a first pic, keep posting!

great pic ! the only think i have to mention is the border between background and e.g. the wings of the ... bird.
whats the title of the image ? "two eyes" ?

That is a cool effect...

I love the birds face and the area around the skull...

the wings almost look like bat wings though...

this makes my think "Shakespear"

great first post!!!

Hi,
good work i like the skull and the bird�s body, but i think the wings could be improved. they have the same texture as the body.

nice painting, but why would anyone want to associate themselves with ike turner?

My tea's gone cold,I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

Nice earthy colors and good lighting. Makes some good atmosphere. Do something to that ground, though.
