:skull: :blackrose: :skull: What is A Flock of Ravens? :skull: :blackrose: :skull:

:excited: I finally finished this stupid thing :excited:

This was one of those pictures where I was really excited and happy about being able to draw something intricate, but I was also really unhappy about having to waste 3-4 weeks on it >_< I don't really have a long attention span, so I try to avoid this type of complicated stuff. Then again, it's nice to do something large-scale every now and then so people don't think I'm a lazy bum :XD: Part of the floral border is recycled from an older piece--stfu I still had to re-ink the whole thing >_<;;

I remember when my dad walked in the room while I was still coloring stuff and he asked me what the picture meant. I just sorta looked at him blankly asked "Why? Does it matter?" There isn't really any deeper meaning to this or any of the other stuff I draw; it's simply my two characters (Nell and Fallyn) from A Flock of Ravens sitting beneath two statues and some crazy floral border. I always draw my female characters in spiffy 18th century dresses and I had a terrible urge to draw statues (blame my art history class >O> ) and the flowers are there because I like drawing them...? Since when does everything have to have some special meaning? Though I guess it does connect a little with the Dargaard song, which is where I got the title from.

Thank you :hug: Well, I don't think it was that fast; I know some people on DA who'd be able to color this a lot faster ^_^;;

:XD: It reminds me of all my art teachers. They had to interpret everything, even if you told them you drew a picture just for fun.
