... raven stag


Eph needed a new bio picture! So he got one.

god your backgrounds, woah. i

god your backgrounds, woah. i love how simple you made it look, but still so great.
the rock hes standing on and the grasses too, man you're just so good, apel.

not to mention eph himself, i just adore his hair and antlers, and the little scar on his shoulder.
the blue color his fur is is also super nice. and the clouds and fog, jesus feuiu3f everything is ♥

although i have to add, the bottom parts of his legs look a bit flat.
(i hope your okay with a little bit of constructive criticism, even though i dont draw. ;-;)

Saw this on Tumblr. Peed a

Saw this on Tumblr.
Peed a little, then began admiring every little miniscule detail you managed to work into this.

I just adore your soft brush strokes, with those impossibly clean edges.
I can feel Eph's fur, the strength of his antlers.


I need to get Apple art sometime soon, before I wither away ♥
You're seriously one of my biggest art inspirations.

The way you do backgrounds is

The way you do backgrounds is stunning. And Eph himself looks so regal, so powerful. Yet there's a gentle air to him as well. I especially love how you got his hair to look, so soft looking.

Holy shet. Holy shet. It

Holy shet. Holy shet. It looks like he's in his prime, he looks so powerful, but so frail and gentle that he might break under the weight of his own fur. The snow on the mountains and the clouds and the rocks mimic his color so well. I keep finding myself wondering "Where'd he get those scars?" It's as if everything has a dramatic past.

Gah, I just want to style his hair. >8o

Eph is stunning. You can

Eph is stunning. You can almost feel his power. I feel like - when I see paintings of him by you - that I'm getting to see the other side of him we don't always see in-forest. It's fucking amazing, for lack of a better term. You portray him beautifully.

The snowy backgrounds you do are by far my favorites. I love the way you do mountains and rocks, the the plant life springing up randomly. Everything just flows and not a stroke looks out of place.


;___;
can I stare at this forever?

The background on this is

The background on this is stunning, especially that sky, which I feel really helps set the mood for this piece. He looks really .. majestic, I'd say, standing there with his head to the sky slightly. Overall this is just amazing. ;-; <3

i've always admired the build

i've always admired the build to this character. very believable and natural.

Wow... Really reminds me of

Wow...

Really reminds me of those native american paintings. I don't know much about this character's personality but he does kinda make me think of an indian medicine man. Maybe it's the hair. XD
