Somebody say random? :XD:

I have no idea how it got to this, it started with a doodle of an eye and went from there :D
But I love how it turned out.
(Damn, now I want to do some more Aesop's Fables :D)

Yoss... so, the fox and the crow. (And completely random style exploration.)

---

Here's the story if anyone's interested (and doesn't know it):

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. "That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future.

"Do not trust flatterers."

YOu can tell this is your first, for it doesn't hold the same flow you have found in the others, but it is still extremely charming and well done!

Thank you very much!

I know, this was the first kind of accidental piece in this style, I hadn't really come up with the flowing concept yet until I started the second :)
I enjoyed that it looked different to everything I'd seen before and decided to follow that direction further.
I'm glad you like it!

Lots of flow from the use of all curved lines. Has a very stained glass feel to it.

Yeah, a few people have commented that these pieces look like stained glass and I'd have to agree there.
Thanks!

Ahh...touching story,

How do you make the curve?

never mastered the curve..

My comment to this is quite late though,

You won't mind would you?

Dunno really, I do curves freehand and just erase and correct until they look right.
You can get curve rulers though, but I don't have one.

No problem, comments are appreciated anytime :)
