And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore! ~Edgar Allan Poe
BIO
I have always been interested in art even as a young child. Even then I was also a Poe fan but didnt know it yet. One of my first pictures was drawn in the cover of my dad's Complete works of Edgar Allan Poe =)About 5 years ago I got my first computer and then later I got into the graphics just to touch up my hand drawn works. Little did I know then there was a whole new world waiting just around the corner. Most people think that my nick name stands for having a black heart, this is not what my nick name stands for. I am part Cherokee Indian and really love ravens. So my nick name stands for having the heart of a Raven:)

My favorite part of this is his eyes. The wrinkles on the skin around his eyes make them look like they'd be tired, but even without effets, you've captured the twinkleness of the "Santa Eye". :)

whoa, wait. are you serious? this is the first time you've won a contest? that doesn't seem possible. you've been a spotlighted artist since i started coming to this site. and others. i've always assumed you won contests left and right. well congratulations on recognition long overdue! i like his wrinkles and eyes, but for some reason i keep coming back to the soft fur of his hat.
