art

Moar art, but it looks tres crappy because the scanner is a piece of *(^(^(*$@@# that didn't pick up ANY of the subtle shading.

Note to self: if you want to do subtle shading, USE DARK PAPER.

If it doesn't sell at ConDFW, I might see if I can take it a service bureau that will photograph it or use a drum scanner to get a better scan. If it sells at ConDFW, then I GUESS YOU'LL NEVER SEE HOW GOOD IT IS IN REAL LIFE.

AND HEY SHE NEEDS A TITLE.



Pencil on charcoal paper.

I neeeeed some sort of title, preferably allusive rather than HEY! HARPY! (Or siren, if you prefer.) Mostly because the feet should be a surprise. :D (it was the only way I could get myself to draw something with wings on!)

And Aellopus makes me go "Yellowpus," which isn't much better!

Maybe I could just title it "Aello" or "Aella" and let people who know their Classics get it and the rest wonder...

Aello makes me think of Mello. I guess it depends on the person as to whether that's a good or a bad connection. :D

Aella (or Aello) would work as a title I think. Most people would assume it's her name whether they knew it was the name of a harpy or not. To anyone who did know, or looked it up, it'd be a little extra "I know that you know" thing that people could feel smug over knowing. Not that I have ever felt smug over being able to casually pull out a random bit of obscure trivia as if everyone should have known that. XD

Over on DW someone suggested "Watching the Feast," which might work. :D

Oh yeah, that's way better than anything I was coming up with (all perch or aerie related). Phew, off the hook, time to relax again! :D
