Artist's Comments

Daily Deviation: Oh wow guys... I am speechless in the face of all your awesome. Thank you, all of you, for your kind words, questions, critique, watches and even just passing through. You're wonderful.

:heart: :heart:

The unattainable desire to fly, the desire to improve ourselves by imitating the birds, is both absurd and beautiful.

Dreams are ridiculous yet precious; in chasing hopes we create amazing things.



Part of my HSC Major work for Visual Arts. This is the complement to the three charcoal pieces and probably my favourite piece of the lot.
The birds are a White Faced Heron, a Laughing Kookaburra and a Black Swan, along with fairy wren inspired birds on the edges.

This was painted and printed very large which was pretty taxing on my computer. Hence there's more I would've liked to have done with this had I the time and technology but I am still very happy with how it turned out.


Tools: Photoshop CS2, wacom tablet
Size: This was printed spectacularly large, in three panels. Together they came to about 150x50 cm

(I apologise for the obnoxious watermarking but as this is a digital piece and for school I'd prefer if it didn't go wandering.)

Circling Skies - The Birds by =cryslara is gorgeous. The triptych setup, composition, colors, and lighting, its all there! With the pretty touches, there's also a touch of the morbid -- like how you can see the birds' bones through the scarves. (Suggested by ~StarDragonBlue and Featured by `cosmosue)

I didn't even notice the watermark until you told me, I was too busy staring at the awesome birdies. Flying is my favorite dream.

90% of people...blah blah blah. If you're one of the 10% who laugh at these sigs but don't copy/paste anything...well, good for you.

Wow, this is so gorgeous :heart:
I keep finding myself drawn towards the cogs and little metal bits in the two side pieces for some reason.

You just keep getting better and better. :heart: This has to be one of your greatest pieces to date, and I love all the individual charcoal works too. :)

The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel. ~ Piet Mondrian

I cannot expect even my own art to provide all the answers - only to hope it keeps asking all the right questions. ~ Grace Hartigan

fantastic. the detail! esp in the black swan, is breathtaking. and i really like the inclusion of the tiny birds in the 'wing' panels. beautiful work.
