Artist's Comments

Original Size: 10x13
Medium: Brush, Quill and Ink
Color: Photoshop CS
Time: Lost track
Copyright Notice: 2007 by Bob Giadrosich/Sharayah Press. All Rights Reserved.

    Cover illustration for "A Life of Ravens" by Alex Ness, a book of 50 poems as interpreted by 27 artists and photographers. It should be going to press in about two or three weeks.

    A black and white version will appear in the book to accompany a poem about the "Queen of the Celts," Boadicea.

    At this time, it is actually an older image, done in late January of '07, but I figured I should post it before it gets too much older. Since the first of the year, I've done in the neighborhood of 60 images for all kinds of stuff. Only a few make it here.

    I was still experimenting a bit with Photoshop color, but getting closer to the look that I wanted...

Wow, that looks fantastic! It's really graphic, and the purple/ochre work so well together. That grass must have taken you ages!
:iconleviske:
WOW! Has a real nice BWS quality to it. Very cool man. :)
:iconsouth-wind:
Whoa! I like the graphic style very much, and the dramatic composition. The colour is very powerful also. It's a bit unnerving, gives a nice sense of impending doom or war. Veeery nice. :thumbsup: :D
:iconitmon:
Nice! Makes me that much more excited to see this book in print! :D

Exquisite detail and colour. :D
:iconalkonost:
Love the grass, looks so wind-swept, and the sunset-like colours work so well. It's such a dramatic image, with a striking atmosphere. The character is Boadicea I suppose? The drawing looks so alive, it really draws me inside that 'epic' sort of atmosphere.:)
