Finally finished: one of my bigger projects!

May I introduce: Falin and her brother Fynn, both characters from one of my stories. They are Feîrins, Bird-Riders. The Bird-Riders are small, pixie-like people, I once made up. They are not taller than squirrels,have got a long tail, which is very usefull for climbing,  and live in trees, together with the big, domesticated birds of prey, on which they ride. There is also an other such people, the Fox-Riders, who are bigger and live down on the ground. They are taller, havier and smell like the foxes tey ride on. These two people hate each other and are at war with one another all the time without anyone really knowing why...     

This picture shows Falin and Fynn, sitting in the big old oak tree, which is their and their families home. They are having an unpleasant conversation about Falin's strange behaviour. Well, Fynn is having a conversation... Falin doesn't seem to be interested in talking or listening. Her big brother is really worried about her. Since she had been trapped by some stinky fox-riders, she is just not the same as before...

This is completely done in potoshop, except a very rough pencil sratch.

Yipee, got a graphic tablet for my computer for christmas!!!! I love using it!

I find, the evening picture is a bit better. I think with the evenig colours th emotions appear better.

o, i feel so sorry for her brother. Poor guy. It’s horrid not being able to help your family. I also sympathise with falin, though-when you are hurt or worried or unsure, sometimes you just want to be left to lick your wounds in peace.
As always, absolutely beautiful. I’ll look for your other pic and tell you if i have time...
