RavenHeart: I was inspired by a tree on one of my walks that from an angle, looked like it had an owl in the hollow. When I started this piece with the model, I had intentions of morphing him to be half human half tree with the owl in the center. However, as I continued to work, the owl turned into a raven. I am a strong believer of letting the work show me what it wants to be and went with it. I then finished with a black with iridescent blue over top (looking more blue than black in this photo). So now it is a morph of a human, tree, and raven.
