Not actually any manner of finished thing, but... There are actually about three lines of this that are the way I want them. Fuck knows why I'm attentionwhoring it anyway. Hello, masochist.
I like it. Beautiful impressions of motion, and I like the difference in detail in the talons and head compared to the wings . . . it really looks good right at this point, complete as simple lines, sorta reminiscent of Chinese ink paintings, the simple compositions of the Southern School.
It kinda looks like it should be drawn 4x5 to 8x10 inches big, somewhere off-center in a 5'x6' or so piece of paper, in a simple frame, with a four-figure price tag attached.
Chinese ink painting style is very much what the finished version in my head looks like. I grew up with a set of three Chinesey horse paintings on my bedroom wall, and I think they imprinted me.
Not that this means i'm any more likely to ever finish it than the million and one other things I haven't finished, but I am an optimist, and I love you for this.
