#tbt The Raven of Last Rites. This piece is from a few years ago, but it’s one that I still like quite a bit. Maybe it’s time to revisit the idea. . . . . . #drawing #art #originalcharacter #digitalpainting #instaart #pdxart #portlandartist #raven #edgarallanpoe #creepy #darkart #darkartist #foggy
Here’s a #tbt of one of my favorite pieces. It was a break through piece in terms of technical ability for me and has lots of personal meaning as I made it shortly after my father passed away. -The Light Harvesters- As the boy came upon a clearing, golden light filled him with the warmth of a seaside day. There lay a young girl. Was she sleeping as he was? He was uncertain. The beings around her moved with deliberation. Swaying like trees in a gentle breeze as they collected pieces of light. Though he felt no sadness or fear, he moved carefully as to not disturb the activities. He merely watched as the trees around them stretched and grew with new life. As if they had been reawakened after a lifetime. . . . . . #gavingrayvalentine #digitalpainting #instaart #faerie #forest #originalcharacter #art #originalart #pdxart #portlandartist
#tbt While I’m working on new stuff, here’s one that feels appropriate for the chilly air outside. - The Wendigo - As I crested the hill I froze - halted by the gaze of this strange being. I could feel its claws in my empty stomach, writhing and pulling me to give in. My companion was not faring as well as I and wouldn't last much longer. That leg wound will fester and spoil the meat. Pity to let it go to waste. . . . . . #drawing #darkart #pdxart #portlandart #digitalart #digitalpainting #art #instaart #originalcharacter #cryptid #folklore #wendigo #drawing #draw #wip
