SF&F Picture 7 out of 26 by Ross Sullivan-Wiley.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Three Crows

This is one from a series of illustrations I did from a book called Grimm's Grimmest. They are the Grimm's fairy tales in their original form, blood, mutilation, cannibalism, incest, and all. This is a young man who has been blinded and is sitting beneath a gallows listening to three prophetic crows. 2000

1 Mar 2001	sylvia	Loading... Yes, this is definitely awesome...and not just Tim Burton, but...Edward Gorey I think. Yes...
5 Apr 2001	Masa	Loading... A whole book of Grimm stories, illustrated like this...shudder But I wants it!
3 Jun 2001	April L. Gerecke	Loading... beautiful..this really does look like something from that book. i was going to buy the book, but got a little disturbed when i read the one about the little boy getting his thumbs chopped off cuz he refused to stop sucking them. i probably will still buy it..but felt that my money was worth something less gruesome at the time
11 Aug 2001	Jasmin Islam	Loading... As far as the 'grim' aspect goes, your style of drawing suits it wonderfully! How about adding some daaaark tones in the picture as well?.. only if you think they're appropriate, of course. Love the stitching on the eyes - it's horrible (that's a compliment)!
17 Jul 2003	Uncle Steve	Loading... Your dad didn't appreciate the book as a Chirstmas present several years ago! This is eloquent vindication. Your art draws me in and makes me feel the energy behind the forms. Thanks--awesome!
30 Aug 2004	Dalbini	Loading... Out of words...This must be my favourite of yours!
1 Oct 2005	Kat <DelusionalRocksta	Loading... I would like that book. Yes sir I would. The crows look very mean, and that poor guy is just sitting there all sad and...blind. Usually for stories like this, I would say, as Jasmin said, that dark tones would be best, but for your style I don't think the darker colors would work. The grays just...they give this a more creepy feel, rather than downright dark and depressy, which is what I think these stories feel like. It is very Edward Gorey, and fantastic!
22 Apr 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Whats with grimm ? I hear it alot, but who is he/she? Strange pic!
18 Jun 2006	Meri Lahteenaro	Loading... gosh i love your works! They all just make me laugh... in a good way (okay, the fact that i haven't slept for 24 hours might have something to do with the laughing....) And what imagination! And i like the fact that you have many different "styles"! Great job.----
19 Mar 2008	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... this is a great modern illustration of the grimms... you’ve done a great job in this! nice shading and weird stuff, just perfect for what it stands fore... nice!!!
