Artist's Comments

A commission for a new gothic magazine called "Arcane Octane", about Edgar Poe. I was commissioned for 3 drawings; The subject of this first drawing was "reflection of Poe in the eye of a raven". I used shadows so we can see both the complete raven and its eye's close-up. I hope that Poe looks more or less like the real one :D

Pen & ink, washed ink on paper (22cm x 28cm).

Ooh, very nice:) I can't get over the way the raven's pupil is entirely replaced by Poe's face. The elongation of the clock is great too--Just wondering though, why did you just use black on the raven, instead of feathers?

Oooh. Wow, I really like this. I'm a huge fan of Poe's works (best things ever to ready on a windy night when you're alone in the house) and...ooooh, this just fits "The Raven" so wonderfully in my head.

Great job, the perspective is great. Great job, really.
