The Raven In Red

Published:

Description

A second version of The Raven for the Witches of East End contest.

Inspired From Edgar Allen Poe' poem that we all know an love "The Raven" The reference image was converted in to a negative, to represent the negativity of the Narrator. (The narrator who keeps asking questions when he know the Raven will continue to give him the same answer "Nevermore" Expecting a different answer with each question he falls further in to despair.) I then painted the negative twice. One in a very realistic fashion, and then once again in a very rough sketchy manner. (This represents the the before and after state of the narrator. Happily in love, and then distraught over his loss.) I then combined, or overlayed the two using a difference method to get the final painting. (Similar methods were used for both Raven paintings.)

My Name is L.C.Bailey
I live and work in Los Angeles California
I have been an artist for 30 years.
I specialize in the digital paintings that mimic traditional mediums.
I am traditionally trained fine artist from Art Center Pasadena.
I am a fine artist, not an illustrator so my work is stylistic, and not always clean or pretty.
I use both commercial software, and my own proprietary tools.
Most of my work is done in Photoshop, and ArtRage.
I work in very large scale. My paintings are all a minimum 5000 pixels wide.
You can buy large prints of almost all of my art here on deviantArt.com

Update: It was late when I finished this so I went back and fixed a few things.
