Well, again I don’t think theres anything to explain but the "Nightlight" has already proved me Wrong – This comes from an old myth where Crow stole the sun, and that is what burnt his feather’s black, this fellow seems to have his eye on getting it back.
He’s wearing a simple wrap, and a medicine wheel necklace, the 4 prong ‘thing’ is an old style sun symbol to be placed over your heart.
Trying to suggest this in two basic colors.
The Colors used ((as matched from its traditional medium origins)) are to the top left.
It’s really beautiful!
I found your work here from dA, and I had to lend my vote! The composition, the colors…
It’s a perfect shirt, and the story that goes with it only makes it better!!!
Thank you so much! I’m crazy flattered! _ <3
You should check out some of the other people here too! Theirs Miss monster and a whole slew of other lovely awesome shirts just waiting to ‘be’ HUG
Thank you all <3
And nope not Pastel <3 Colored Pencils on matting board for texture :3
@ C2 – It’s from a myth! The description covers most of it, Antrhopromorphising animals, assinging them human triaits like speach and sometimes clothing is very common in mythology around he world nods_
The sweep and the sun are more traditional to pottery but I thought/still think, that they bring the elements together fairly cleanly and add a degree of depth.
If its very dark you might check your monotor color becuase you may not be able to see the thin white lines that outline the edges of the feathers in the face and wing, but it adds a high degree of clarity to the peice IRL.
Ooo kay? I can only assume you say that becuase of either the medicine wheel with its cross bars, orrr… the solar disk. Either way I, can only recommend brushing up on the native American culture rather than attributing the ‘cross’ as a strictly Christian/catholic symbology given that it predates it significantly _ thank you for stopping by even if I do, kind of feel that was a very ignorant comment?
