My annual commemorative piece to myself for my 23rd Birthday: a pensive Zyden attracts the attention of a curious passer-by.
Graphite pencil and Photoshop 7.0. April 2005.
Prints available. Please email.

Eee hee hee X3 *steals all first comments*

The way the pencil work blends with the CG is just fantastic. Who'd've known they could work so well together, eh? I still love your pencil work, no matter how far you've come with CG X3 It's just so textured and wonderful. Sheer eye candy.

Wow...definitely one of those occasions where he looks better in black and white than he would in color! I love the shading on the grass and the way he stands out...this pictures just fantastic!

Oh wow. Why are there not more comments for this?! GORGEOUS use of grayscale, beautiful pencil work, flawless mesh of hand-drawn and CG. MASTERFUL GRASS! Nice quiet feel. My favorite mod's today!

Congrats on Mods Choice! Great Pic! The detail is stunning. I love your griffy!

Beautiful. Really.

The grass I love especially, very real and full and it looks so soft that I wish I could reach into the picture and pet it.

Zyden's coat is lovely and shiny and awesome, and I really love the gryphon(?), very detailed and well done.

Yay Rachel!

Zyden! *huggles*

Sorry, I just really like your characters. This is really good, too! I'm extremely impressed with the shading! (And if I may ask, what kind of scanner do you have? Mine eats my shading. *scanner gurgles* ...see what I mean?)

I like the little critter, and the peaceful look on his face. Actually, it's kind of like "...hello?" You know? Eh, anyway...I like the clouds, too. Very nice.

Keep up the awesomeness, and congrats on Mod's!
