Description Hey you! Feel free to download this to your computer, but don't use it anywhere on the internet without my permission, or you'll have me, my watchers, and my online buds to deal with. Don't be an art thief!

What's this? Spec does mythicals? Well, no I don't. This is an interpretive piece on a character that doesn't actually have wings. So if you don't think he'd be able to get off the ground, that's the idea. ^.^

This is a request on Another Studio [link] for Jen. Edgar is her character loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe's poem The Raven.

Aaaand now I remember why I don't normally do wings. They're huge and really limit where you can stick the horse! Originally he was going to be cantering down a pier at night, but the wings got in the way and I would've had to shrink him a lot. I couldn't bear to do that! The wings were an optional part for this request, but once I started working with them I was hardly going to give up!

All in all I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Try not to focus too much on the insane mane. xD

Comments and faves make my day!

Thanks hun! I went a long time before blending wings for the first time cause it seemed like such a huge task! But with the aid of some colour-matching magic and cloning the shoulder up over the wing base I think I've got a solid technique down. They're still a pain in the butt though!

Good lord you are awesome. I should just give up now. I am now almost convinced that pegasi actually do exist. If I get tossed into a loony bin because I go off hunting for pegasi I am blaming you.

Though something about the raven seems off to me. Something about the head I want to say. [tries to figure out what][fails] gah I need to get outta critique mode. Blame photography class and having to find black and whites to turn in a critique on.

Lol Fred you're hilarious! I'm glad you like my shoulder cloning. Don't give up though! Remember I'm two years into this. Persevere and you will get there!

Yeah, you've gotta keep at it or you'll get out of practice! When I'm not busy or museless sometimes I do one manip a week! I don't usually have that much time though. xD

With a hairy dog like that you'll probably have to lightly smudge parts of the outline (mainly the underside) with a speckle brush at around 75-80% opacity (e.g. my images Twitch and Saga Hrimfaxa). I've never done a dog image before, but I did a tiger (for class, not posted on dA) and I find that technique really helps the realism factor.

Thanks Bav! I guess challenging myself has a purpose other than making me tear my hair out. XD I was hoping it would turn out "okay" after all the issues I had with it. It turned out better than a lot of my others!

Ohmigosh, this is AMMAAZING. Best work of yours I've seen. The wings look soo... attached. WOW.

adverbial-spectra In reply to jumperrider1 [2009-09-13 22:41:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Jumper! I find that a bit of clever cloning of the shoulder over the meaty part of the wing and blending that in works like a charm!

Thanks! Wings are a pain to work with, but the colour-matching, positioning and cloning went pretty smoothly this time!
