They were white once
These wings
Charcoal Black now

Worn by time
Filled by pain

Blessed in blood
Torn in rain

I cannot fly now
My wings are too heavy

I've been here too long
Love is too strong

There is no need to fly

Simply put this is my Blackbird. She's a fallen angel whose wings have turned black from being among humanity. She feels all their pain and anger and hurt and tries to help them ease it, and in the process damages herself even more. But that's the price of love.

i quite frankly think that these people are right, this drawing is really bad. I think you should be worried about defending your ugly a** pictures instead of correcting everyones grammar. Every comment ive seen on here, you reply and comment on everyones grammar and how they should use spell check, are you that despret? can you honestly not come up with anything more to say than "you cant spell" and "check your grammer"

:-) Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali replies: "I comment on your grammer because frankly I think that if you're going to flame someone you should at least try to look intelligent while doing so."

17 Feb 200445 Always right

i actually love this one and the idea of it. If people can not see the beauty in this, then hats the point of looking at art. And i love the fact when they call themselves "always right" and other egotistical moronic things like that.... if they had any balls they would be able to show their real name when insulting you. If you came to look at someone elses art you need to open your eyes, if you dotn, you see the beauty in nothign and you are, even though your lungs may take deep breaths, you are dead on the inside. You are also a sheep to every one else. I bet they are probably one of those lotr freaks only cuz there "cool friends" are. Heres some advise kiddies, be your own freakin person!

:-) Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali replies: "I agree totally. People should really have the balls to state their name if they're gonna flame. And they should stop following the herd and state their own opinion.And thank you for the nice comment! ^^"

First of all, those other people are jerks and you shouldn't grace their comments with a response. I like the idea behind this picture a lot, and the face in very well shaped. Two constructive (I hope) criticisms: The marker doesn't look very good because each stroke shows, though my guess is that your scanner is as blend-a-phobic as mine, lol. The other thing is: the hair could be less stringy, although 1.) that could be the effect you wanted or 2.) you hate drawing hair with pen as much as I do. I love a lot of your other stuff, keep drawing!

:-) Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali replies: "Ah but it's so fun to piss them off ^^
Actually I was going for a kinda rough look, to show she's worn. Thanks for the helpful tips though ^^"

*bashes the a-holes with her mighty folding chair of doom*

*dusts off her hands* ^_^ nice. As usual. Hey, they're just jealous. Afterall, if they really hated the work, they probably would turn their noses up in disgust and not even bother to comment.

:-) Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali replies: "Heh, mighty folding chair of doom. I like it ^^"
