Ha’daa, U’raa mehn kiir’gaa*
This is our absolution:
Savage and unseen
A torrid wind
Never grasped
__
Jiirahk'aa of the Dhuriiehm.  His legend is a tragic one: after escaping A'renkshiia, wishing only to live a life of peace, he was compelled to fight--and kill--his last remaining sister.  None know what became of him after that battle; forced to kill the only person he cared for, he was never the same.  Some wonder if he survived the battle at all.

It looks like a fresco... so amazing.

Very nice. I love the color combinations. Cool

The muted colors do a great job of conveying a torpid, lifeless atmosphere. The reds and browns in particular seem to reflect the pain he feels at the blood he shed, but it's nice that even so they are still muted and dirty, not bright and striking. The clouds in the background are very realistic also -- I've seen plenty of those where I live.

He looks like he’s going to wring its neck.

I like that his hand gesture is so gentle and calming but it doesn’t reach the coldness of his eyes. Composition-wise, I really like the parallels in alot of the elements in the piece, the bird, branches, hand and flowing cloth for instance. Your lines do an excellent job of keeping the focal points moving but still on the canvas. Excellent work.
