Nothing will be possible without the wonderful reference images by ~Navanna, I am so grateful to her for letting me use them. Be sure to check her gallery, she has wonderful photography, rich of nature and true imagination.


About the work: this is the longest digital painting I ever did, it took me every evening for almost a week, and a whole sunday for the start. On tuesday I passed my time on the belt, on thursday came the falcon, today the whole background. And I am quite happy how it turned out. I know the background has a slightly different style but I am still trying to figure out brushes and styles in photoshop. The base outline was drawed with the light table technique, since I did not wanted to loose the reference features, in this case (yap, I did it for once).
I really hope you like it :)

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
