The Raven

Share

For a contest on dA.
Based on The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.

My favorite part was drawing the sculpture. <:

Also, lol, it's a lot darker looking than most of the other stuff on my page, huh? Oh well~

Oh man, once I saw the title I knew I would love this (The Raven is one of my favourite poems). I definitely like the grim aesthetic and the implementation of the important figures in the poem. The Raven looks weirdly bold and regal in a dark sort of way, and that eye attracts some attention; though, the feet look a bit off as they seem to be in an awkward position. Mr. Man on the bottom looks as if he'd ventured into a H.P. Lovecraft story (his flushed colour and gesture are great), and the raw sense of insanity emanates from him (you definitely did a good here). The Bust of Pallas is really eye-catching since it has a rosy, almost rusty tint and is much lighter than the other parts, and is also well-detailed. I like to think that it is looking down at the guy, which gives it even more emphasis since it seems the shadow behind it is not it's own apparently. However, you didn't really explain that the shadow is Lenore too well in the picture nor in the description, since while her shape is different than the bust's, it could have been interpreted as an error. But besides that, you still did an amazing job!

Man, bird, backgound, sculpture, even its shadow look totally unrelated to eachother like in a montage. At least no relation between them in space. They're related however in color and style. I like all the elements of this picture very much.

Lol, that's not supposed to be the sculpture's shadow. I added that to represent Lenore.

Nevermore
