Dear Raven, I come here to seek your advice
Where you stand in the wind, and the snow and the ice.
Wise Raven, I'm alone, but I know I can trust
Your eyes jet black... and I'm afraid that I must
Ask a favour; I'm quite full of worry and fear
That the people in my world are all but sincere.
They don't understand me, I'm losing my nerve
Always, I am kind, more so than deserved.
What, Sweet Raven, would you suggest I might do?
Will you answer the question I put towards you?
This is a gift to my friend
svarta-perlan. She has had a very, very unpleasant dealing with an artist on FA. I will not name them, but I'm so saddened by the situation. I wanted to work on a gift that might help ease the frustration a little, even momentarily. I know it doesn't make up for the art she is owed or the horrid feelings she's had to endure, however... but I want her to know that she is not alone and can always ask me for support.
This is her character Dema, who has Raven friends. I wanted to include a raven in the snow, as a contrast to the white. Dema is quite a fierce fighter, but I wanted to show her having a moment of peace with her friend.
It's nearly 4am x_x I'm so tired! But this was so worth the hours I stayed up past my bedtime XD! I hope she likes it.

I do too. I'm still working on coloring something else I've been doing for her, but that's about it. Still, she studies hard. It has reminded me of someone else I have dealt with in the past, but the person causing the trouble was doing it on another front. It was more just a power trip than conning, however. Why it reminds me of this, is looking at some of the journals posted by the other party in question, it's just like an old friend who of course is no longer a friend.
It's such a shame that people who are kind and caring get caught up in these things... I truly hope that some good will come from all this so she can move on and stop worrying all the time. Being a very sensitive person myself I can imagine what she feels over it, which means I really sympathise. I wish people were nicer to each other :/ It's a shame that people tend to lash out when there are things wrong with them. Nobody deserves to be treated badly.
omg. ;___; this... this is the most beautiful and amazing image I've seen in a long while... I'm looking at it and trying to find the right words to express how much this means to me, but words fail me right now. what I can tell you, is... this is better than anything I will ever receive from that artist, if they even end up coming through. this is just... you captured her perfectly, and this is exactly what she would do... she would seek guidance, comfort and support in her raven friends, perhaps most of all from this one, þula, who carries the red orb. mute, but the wisest of all, and needs no spoken words to spread her wisdom.
this is such a beautiful gift, truly sweetie... it means the world to me, and is truly symbolic for myself and for dema right now. :'3
I could go on, so easily... chances are I'll come back to this later for extended gushing, even. thank you from the bottom of my heart, this piece has truly touched me and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, friendship, and constant support.

I'm so glad I went with an idea that actually fits Dema :D And that I chose the right Ravenfor the theme too. That's incredible XD! The little poem was something I felt would help the picture explain my idea, I hope it's not too bad! haha~ I am always here for you, if you ever run out of close friends to talk to, note me and I'll do my best to support you. I truly want this situation to be resolved so you don't have it hanging over you, as I know it is making you very unhappy and anxious. Try to be strong, remember to put your health first.
You're welcome, and I am so glad you like it :D I had so much fun drawing Dema. She is one of my favourite characters, because although she is "simple" looking, she really has spirit in all the pieces of art I've seen her in. I really enjoy seeing her character explored through all the art you've gotten of her, and I also find your friendship with your best friend very touching when I see the art of your characters together.

ohhhh! yeah, I did see that one! *__* I was embarrassed as I tend to remember user names... but yours didn't ring a bell, clearly as this was posted to another account. @___@ but oh wow, I love it... she looks adorable in your style. :'3 it was artexplorer who requested it, right...?
Deep into that darkness peering
Long I stood there wondering, fearing
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before,
But the silence was unbroken
And the darkness gave no token
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word "Lenore!"
This I whispered and an echo murmured back the word "Lenore!"
Merely this and nothing more.
Very COOL of you to do this for her.

Very awesome ^^
Dema caught my eye right off, and I was intrigued. I couldn't help bit get a big 'ol smile when I read it was giftart to help make up for her dealings with that other artist. I felt pretty bad that she'd gotten dragged around like that. Svarta's a dear, and she didn't deserve to go through that mess.
