SciFi and Fantasy Art: Birds & Fish

'A bird may love a fish, signore, but where would they live?'

----- from the movie 'Ever After'

This is one of two covers that I submitted to Sabledrake Magazine for their February romance issue. My husband looked at my first painting and said it wasn't romantic enough so I started over, and this is what I got. The bird guy started off as a long-haired version in one of my sketchbooks when I was teaching Egyptian art to my 3rd graders. (Yes! I started teaching art a few months ago. Go fig...)

I came back to this page to see this picture again. I printed it out in b and w, and while it still looks great...alas, it looks much better in color.

This has inspired me to write a short story about the two. I looked forever online to find out exactally what the male creature is called (hasn't anyone ever thought of one before?? i had...) until i just decided to give up and make up my own name.

I don't know why you should care exactally, but i feel compelled to tell you what i named the creature. "Orinthsir." From the root Orinths meaning bird, and well, Sir, a male. Voila.

I really like your other work too, but this is my favorite. Wonderful job.

I truly admire you for posting such treasured art. I, for one thing, am possessive with who I share my own art with. My brother introduced Elfwood to me several years back, and I am not yet ready to show myself.
I love to design illustrations with romantic themes, it creates such a thought-provoking story within the observer's eye!

Wonderful pic, absolutly love it, but I must be picky, and please do not take this the wrong way. Wings will not fold over on the same direction. Simply put, either they both flip in, or they both flip out...its like he has two right wings.

just my opnion, hope I didn't offend you.

Great pic though, love the forbidden love.
