| Art commissioned from and created by *clayscence (I and IV), *Nempatriarch (II), and ~moonlight-fox (III) of my winged original characters Silverbird and Windrider, from the story "A Gift on Awakening" |
| "In the real world" winged beings ... even if it isn't this one! |
| Wings taken as fantasy, especially those I'd like to see ... |
| Representing an idea, an ideal, or an infinite possibility ... |
| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THIS IS A dA-WATERMARK-FREE ZONE! No works that are obscured, disfigured, and mutilated with the dA default mark (or anything similar) will ever be in my favorites. It does little to curb plagiarism, but a great deal to impede true appreciation and "fair use." |
| I believe in writing art comments that make substantive or interesting points. Not just quick one-liners! Which often means ... well, that I get wordy. Yet it's what artists seem to crave, and it's the only kind I feel I can give that's worth the time, either to write or to read. I'd always especially appreciate a note about one of your own winged, merfolk, or 'taur creations, visual or literary. If you alert me of such art, I guarantee a sizable well-turned comment in response. And I'll most likely fave it, as well! If you're among the truly fierce "wing-lovers" ... the new(ish) Greek-rooted word for us is pteraphiles. Try my Yahoo! Group of that name. Art and writing is shared through a mailing list, accessible via e-mail or Web. File archives have many offbeat works, especially featuring comics characters. Everything winged-human(oid) is encouraged at Pteraphiles. Sadly, too many winged-art Groups at dA exclude writers from contributing, and that ought to be discouraged. As for my own deviations: I work slowly and, probably, too deliberately. With diversions into art, politics, and philosophy in other forums. So thanks for the notes of support. I'm currently writing more installments of a story following up on "A Gift on Awakening," that tale being meant as a prequel. Two have long existed, two more are in the works, but all need some dramatic correlations. And I'm rewriting one of SF and comics luminary Edmond Hamilton's classic plots, about a winged young man, to my own liking ... but more on that later! I have a detailed commission proposal on line, with visual references, for my winged characters Silverbird and Windrider. If you're at all adept with portraying feathered wings, I would be pleased to hear from you. For more details, see this journal entry. |
