Humans might call them ugly, monsters, demons. They call themselves the Children of the Wind and find beauty in the freedom of flight among the clouds.

An old ink exercise, using a brush instead of a tech pen for inking the main lines. Colored in Photoshop. Lookie! Rocks that look like rocks! And I don't want to paint anything spotted for a looong time...

Hey, cool! They look very familiar to my Bwugets, you know? I know, they have horns and feathers and a snout, some things are different, but they really could be another Bwugetrace, somehow! (if you want to see them feel free to have a ittle look i my gallery and perhaps you'll know what I mean). Ahem. By the way, this is a very well done picture. I wish I could draw as good as you!

:-) Katherine J. Grantham replies: "Hi, Uta! You're right, she does resemble your forest Bwuget. Great minds imagining alike and all that rot... I especially like the hatchling, but then I'm a sucker for hatchlings. *grin*"

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Hi Kathy! Jerry, formerly of WAPA, here!

I haven't searched elfwood recently. This art is one I definitely haven't seen before.

I enjoy the complexity of the creature - I could easily see "her" having an identify crisis...who or what am I? I especially enjoyed the way the muscles merge into the wings from the shoulders...as I interpret what I'm seeing. I also like how the "mist" (from the clouds?) partially obscures the far wing.

Not much time to chat this time! I'll get back on a regular schedule of checking out your art and other artists at elfwood.

Take care...Jerry

As a previous commenter said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that she's kind of cute, in a demonic sort of way.
