Eyed Raven 2 (June 2021)

In my latest blog entry, I dive into the story and thought process behind my two multiple-eyed ravens.

This particular piece is actually the second in the series, though I believe it’s the first one I painted. Unlike the more instinctive approach I took with the other raven, I had a reference of a raven’s head for this one, which shaped the way it turned out.

Honestly, this piece feels a bit “prettier,” but also a bit more forced. I love him nonetheless—though I have mixed feelings about one very “perfect” eye, which breaks the illusion created by his other eyes. Still, his smirk seems to hold a secret, one that even I don’t fully understand. Can you uncover his mystery?
