"Eyes of the Grove" by Owen CR Pierce

Sepia... e-he-hee... what a nice filter it is. Geez, that cape looks warm... *attempts to steal cape, falls to ground from weight* Darn. HAND!!! Actually... EYE where I am...

Owen CR Pierce replies: "Well whichever extremity or organ it is where you're at I am glad you stopped by! HAND or EYE!"

The brown sepia tones give it a really beautiful earthy touch, and his cloak is so detailed. I love the hooves too This is a really beautiful picture, and a beautiful idea behind it too

Owen CR Pierce replies: "Thank you much, one of these days I'll get the pretty coloured version up. Gotta find a big enough scanner first though, it's about 45 cm by 70 cm. The idea was LOOSLEY based on Keltic mythology. Glad ya' liked him, take care of yourself, yeah?"

The lighting on this is impeccable. I am SO bad at tonal drawing myself. What's your secret, O Master Owen?

Owen CR Pierce replies: "Master Ian, I scan the picture into a photo-editing program and hit the sepia filter...I'm a fraud it seems. Take care and HAND!"

HAND? Whats that mean?

Oooo....for some odd, discombobulated reason, this picture makes me feel all toasty, as if I'm wrapped up in an electric blanket set on 10! It's a GREAT picture!!!

Owen CR Pierce replies: "Heh discombobulated...I like that word! Goodgood, I didn't want him to look cold hearted like the grey scale scan of him was, so I used a sepia filter on him...warmer, nice. HAND(Have A Nice Day, spread it around please)!"

I like da way the antlers vanish in upper pic area. Looks great sorry, but this detail is best from my personal point of view, so i post something unimportant Antlers are hard to do right without reference right in front of you( I didn't have any) So the antlers were destined to fade out due to my own laziness...but thanks for commenting I'm glad you liked it!

Oooh very majestic. I like the peaceful look in its eyes and it's hands. The oak leaf cloak is very very cool!Thank you sir! Your verse is quite elegant...

Nice one. Like the shadingThank you very much!

Meh... I most sincerely THOUGHT I'd commented on this one, but so, it appears, it was not. I dunno what to say, which is a minor problem as rambling on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on *gasps for air* is not something I find particularly difficult. BUT (avast!) this picture cannot be...er...rambled about. It's so...very...MEH! *pokes dumb English vocabulary with big, pointy stick* It's cool ok? I like it very much. Where do you find the filter (almost wrote filet there) for changing colours in Photoshop? Coz I can't find it! Possibly I have some older version and it's simply not there, but... Anyhow. I've rambled on for a span of time sufficient to fill up the box. Go me... Anyhow I HAVE commented (at long last...) so there! EYE!The filter(filet, mmmm fish and chips!) is not really a feature of Photoshop, but a photo-editing program called ACDsee, I just assumed Photoshop would have it...sorry! FINALLY!!! Take care and EYE!
