Artist's Comments

Two witches are fighting high in the sky. The left one is on a giant eagle with a scythe and casts some icy spells. The right one is on a demon and makes everything disappear behind her.

I have picked the posture of the eagle in an artbook full of birds that I found in China. The basic posture of the demon comes from a manga (Yami no matsuei) but I have changed it and it is barely recognizable now.

This is an old painting. I fact it was my first canvas painting ever.
It took me a while to do it. It was started in 2007 and stood on my easel for months. Each time I was working on it, I was discouraged because it was a very big painting and every single detail took a large amount of time. I spend an entire hour on the eagle head.
So sometimes I wasn't working on it during weeks.
I finally finished it in June 2008.

I have slightly improved it today, therefore I post it here now.

A2, acrylic on canvas

I'm here mostly to share my drawings with more people (nobody really cares about my work in my family, except my grandparents), and I'm already very happy to have 1000 pageviews and so many watchers. It wasn't expected. Plus, I've found some friends here, and it wasn't expected too. Yeah, I'm already happy and I don't want to be popular, because the "really popular" deviants are frequently spammed. :)

Well, that's a kind compliment anyway :glomp:

This is superb. I only wish to someday paint as greatly as you do.

Minn besti vinur hverju sem dynur
Illum látum, í faðmi grátum
Ég kyngi tári og anda hári
Þegar að við hittumst
Þegar að við kyssumst

"Turtle?"
"Yeah, Drama?"
"Tell me a story."

Il a raison, l'autre, tu mériterais au moins 20000 pageviews par jour avec des trucs comme ça. ;)
Nan, sérieux ça déchire. J'adore les postures des deux sorcières (démones, ou ce qu'on veut), et les mouvements en général dans cette image. C'est impressionnant. Les effets de lumière et les plumes de l'aigle sont très chouettes aussi *veut grattouiller l'aigle, il a l'air doux*...
Tu vois, là, tout de suite, je suis en bas de mon écran (c'est con comme formulation ça :XD:) et je vois les daily deviations, en écrivant... ben je préfère largement ton truc. Voilà.
