Description A commission for a new gothic magazine called "Arcane Octane", about Edgar Poe. I was commissioned for 3 drawings; The subject of this first drawing was "reflection of Poe in the eye of a raven". I used shadows so we can see both the complete raven and its eye's close-up. I hope that Poe looks more or less like the real one

Pen & ink, washed ink on paper (22cm x 28cm).

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor........


I love Edgar Allen Poe. He is my favorite writer.

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"

Quoth the raven: "Nevermore".

"Why you little - !"

Hi!

Sorry for this cut and paste comment! I featured this awesome deviation of yours in my news article β€œA Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe”. I hope you don’t mind the feature. If you prefer not to be featured in this article, tell me please and I will do my best to get your deviation removed from it. You can find the news article here: [link] This is an absolutely amazing drawing. I love the chosen angle and the close-up on the raven, also the wide range of contrasts and shades and how beautifully you texturized the interior.

I took this a different way before I read your comment, which isnt a bad thing. I took it as if the raven were sitting at the top of the stares in a spooky house and at the bottom of the stair railing there was a glass ball that Edgar Allan Poe was reflecting in. Great work by the way.
