Limited-edition portrait of
adapa's crow, Adapa. I had a bit of a slate grey/blue introduced, but found that it took the punch out of the black and white character. Instead I opted for a lens-correct filter and a hard mix layer setting.
coryphaeus and I try to find ways to actually use hard mix in ways that don't look like ass. He also suggested that I add more visual interest to the portraits, so I scraped this up with my car keys after I finished the graphite portion. :B
While these are on sale, after September 16th this style will no longer be available. Check this link for details.
If you enjoy the character design please let Adapa know!

Oh my word. I adore this! You've really captured the essence of my character, here. I really enjoy just following the textures around the image, especially those lines on the beak. That hard mix effect looks wonderful as well, really adding interest to the upper edges!
I am completely satisfied with this, and practically dripping with inspiration to go and make more work of my own! :>
