well heres the latest piece... took some time (about a yr 1/2 pencil stage off & on). reason for the procrastination.. wasnt confident in my artistic talent for full picture (versus) my portrait style type of art. Know you'll see some Franklin Booth influencs in there ( as he is one of my fav pen & ink illustrators), but the piece was really inspired by a wrk by Barry Windsor Smith that I seen on the internet(which I can't locate now) don't recall the title but it has a ghost walking thru some woods. well hope you like............ later
I do like it. Your rendering of the plants and landscape is excellent, almost looks like an infrared photo. That said, The figure does look a little pasted on, maybe just because she's not so textured as the background, or maybe that there appears to be a different light source for her. That's just me being super nitpicky on you, though. I love your work and this is a fantastic new thing you've got going on

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
