There was a hawk (I think a red tailed hawk) outside my office one morning. It clearly was used to humans since it was willing to get within six feet of me and CHILL. It was so COOL! AUSGLSHLDFKJSHDLKFJHS!!!!
I WANT A HAWK. So I lived vicariously through drawing something related lol. Not much time spent on this one, though I was interrupted a lot so it sat unfinished for a couple weeks. I used tons of reference for the hawk here, but it still fails miserably lol.
Comments/Critiques/etc are always welcome! Thanks for looking and being awesome :9!
I swear I will draw a man soon. Also, I'll probably be uploading some detail shots over at my blog.
Beautiful! J'aime l'aigle, sa position permet de bien voir les plumes. Elles sont d'ailleurs très bien faites. Les couleurs sont sublimes elles aussi. J'adore!
I must say I do adore this personal style of shading. The greater lot of "popular" artists on DA use more blend and strive for a softer look, while you sort of "dot" the colours onto another, makes it look very colourful and somewhat like an oil painting (it is digital - is it?).
Also the colours of the hawk do not, in my opinion, disturb the composition of the image. The hawk looks "sharper" than her arms and middle part, but since the boots have darker colours and some sharper (unblended) details, it is still in balance. Rather adds to the impact and personality of the artwork. (Very nice work on the materials (fabrics, feathers). Looks sturdy and realistic.)
Finally, having browsed around on DA a lot, this is probably the most original and intriguing character design I have seen. Perfect composition and movement - the viewer is caught in the moment of something happening and immediatly makes a connection with it. The only thing that could be added to it might be a background and I would immediately order a print. Lovely work, you'll do great.
nice i love the hawk !!! i think the hawk is my favorite part but it all comes together perfectly

I can't get over how awesome your designs and colors are - especially together! Two of my favorite things in art, and you're gallery has them a'plenty! :3
I think the orange is the best part of this piece. My second favorite thing is the feathers and the wildness of her even though she's standing still. I also love how you make the backgrounds of your pieces simple yet well-textured enough to appease the eyes. Everything just blends so well and stands out so well, together. Gorgeous!
I must say I am impressed with the endless variety I find in your gallery. In most trained artist's galleries one finds plenty of good art but only a couple of works which truly strike ones interest. Your gallery follows the reversed principle.
This was a definite favorite due to the character's colourful and original design. Beutiful work. I adore the fact in your style that you manage to keep your style both loose and a little sketchy but keep the defined details. Absolutely lovely.
