Artist's Comments

Mouse, Paint Shop Pro, 10-15 hours.





“It’s what life asks of us,” Evan said. “Don’t try to hold on to it. Just let it go. Let it move through you and then move on… Otherwise it hurts too much.”





I have two reasons for drawing this. The first is because I realised I've never depicted the strength of the friendship between Cole and Evan in the form of a drawing. The second is because I rarely give myself a chance to render anatomy to such a degree.

I won't go into any details that would be spoilers for my book, but yes, this is a scene from the story ;p

This is beautiful. I love the character designs and absolutely love the detail in the wings. The background is very well done also.

Beautiful job, as always. Your work always makes me feel something, whatever emotion you want to convey, and since I'm in a very melancholy and bittersweet thoughts, it's nice to see this picture. It's both heartwarming and relaxing. The quote really fits too, and I'm glad to have both.

Wow, I think it's pretty obvious what I like best here. . . that wing looks cool cracking up like that, like it's breaking into the light.

What's the difference between an artist and a guy who draws well?

. . . the artist wields his heart

the love, the hate, the passion, the sorrow

...And to think this is all mouse-art. Just amazing.

It really is beautiful. Interesting how you combine the thicker lines (especially in the hair) with realism as far as colors and stuff goes. Kinda reminds me of those old stained glass windows in cathedrals.

The perk of being a second-rate artist is that no one wants to steal your crap.

Wow, what an emotional image. It's a beautiful embrace and I love the soft colouring and shading.

Skip all that business about evolution, humanity was cooked up in an alien easy bake oven a long time ago. That's why we don't work correctly. There's nothing 'natural' about us. ~ Dr. Steel
