Artist's Comments

This is a character from Juliet Marillier's book Son of Shadows which is a part of the Seven Waters Trilogy. I recomend it to anyone.

This is my first "offical" attempt at using a computer program to color artwork. I've crossed over the dark side! I know, But I still enjoy traditional a little more. The comp is just quicker. Even though I don't have money to buy Photoshop, and I refuse to STEAL it and have to use a cheap off brand that's not quite as nice, I hope it doesn't look too horrible and that you all enjoy it. Thanks.

O.O I wouldn't guess that it was your first "official" time using a computer program to color. It's very good.

I'd like to state that I draw and write solely to boost my ego. I am both petty and immature. Everything I do has potential, but I thouroghly enjoy giving writers a bad name. I enjoy "mindless, meaningless, and fairly annoying reviews" much more than none

That's also one of the reasons why I wanted to do this picture. I hadn't seen any pictures on DA, of Bran, that really made me feel at awe the way I imagine it would feel to see Bran in real life. So I drew this over-dramatized picture trying to get to that point and weather or not it was successful...I don't know. But I'm glad you like it. ^_^

Thank you very much. When I say "official" I'm talking about it's my first time taking the coloring seriously. I've dabbled in it, but this is the first time I've gone all out. Thanks once again.

I like all the little touches: the ravensī feathers falling and the snow.
Donīt worry about crossing to the Dark Sie- they do have cookies after all!

That's interesting the way you use the tattoos to make him look feathered! Although I see Bran illustrated often on DeviantArt, but this picture takes a fresh approach! I love the effect of having real ravens near him, and especially the feather falling. I also think you did a very good job of incorporating Celtic-like twists into the eahter pattern. Job well done!

P.S. I don't have PhotoSop, nor can I afford it - what do you use? thx!
