Compositions and a Commission

Good day to you, everyone!

As mentioned in my latest deviation, I'm sorry this one took so long. There have been a lot of life changes for me, most of them involving college life. Fortunately, I have overcome them and am now back! :) For now...

"Keep Out" it is, as you may notice, a composition. It is very different from most of my other works, which are just portraits of a single bird with almost no background imagery. The new Oxford American dictionary describes composition as follows:

Composition (noun) - a thing composed of various elements.

For me, it's liberating to see that my art can, in fact, produce some semblance of depth and background. I don't know about you, but I like it. You will definitely be seeing more compositions from me in the future. Someone on campus liked how I did my squirrel, and now has commissioned me to draw her the squirrels from Disney's, "The Sword in the Stone."

(I may be offering to take commissions from the dA community at large at a later date. More about that as it comes.)

This has been an interesting journey of self-discovery. I look forward to implementing the tools I found to better contribute to the dA community.

As always, comments and constructive criticism are always welcome. Also, don't be shy about bugging me to drawing more. It's way too fun to stop for a month and a half (yikes!)

All the best,
~bjs1990peregrine

I've always liked birds, especially birds of prey. Because of Jean Craighead George's "My Side of the Mountain" trilogy, Peregrine falcons are my favorite.

98% of all Deviants use '98%' tags in their signatures. If you're part of the 2% that doesn't, copy and...oh wait...nevermind.

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!
My art blog of questionable quality.

Thanks! I finally pulled the trigger, you might say. Thanks for you advice and "persuasion." That really helped.

Looking forward to putting this awesome site to good use,

~ Ben
