Artist's Comments

More to stuff my gallery with. I think I used an hour and some minutes.

Inspiration was drawn from one of the last self-respecting newspapers in Norway, specifically an article of theirs on the cyclone "Nargis" that hit Burma a year ago. One of the pictures in the article was headed with "Stormbarn". A woman gave birth to her child the day of the cyclone, and named her child after it.

"Stormbarn" means "storm child" in Norwegian. Or it can mean "storm children", too. I should probably point out that there are more than one of them in this picture. There are six in total. Five in the background, but some are rather hard to spot.

Hah, they don't really look a lot like children, do they? Doesn't matter, who says a child of the storm is like a child of humans?

Also: Wings... :x

That's an amazing interpretation! Somewhat abstract, but all the more fascinating because of it. Trying to find all the background characters in entertaining too.

Simple, yet not that simple. Human, yet a bird. I suppose there are many ways to view this.

I like the technique, the wings look amazing! Though I'm not sure I can tell apart from which part of the rainfall(?) is actually the background and which isn't in some points. Maybe it's the opacity, maybe my eyes are doing me tricks. :/ I don't know. A stunning piece of art either way!

Let's pretend there's a witty catch phrase here.

I love the colors and the way you drew the creature. It looks like a bird, but at the same time it looks like an angel. :)

Mission accomplished!

Did you find them all? The background characters, I mean.

Thanks! I think the rainfall-thing is probably the opacity, yes. :hmm:

Nope. Only four. I'm not sure where I lost that last one. :shrug: Ah well.

Three are rather hard to spot, I'm actually surprised you got four! :dance: I tried to use Deviation Notes to mark them, but it wouldn't work...
