Description
Crappiest Raven King art EVER. I'm sorry, Johnny, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make him look so awful. But I had to do some art, so... I did. John Uskglass, the Raven King, King of the North, unpronouncable Faerie name, etc., etc.Erm. I hope this doesn't spoil anybody, but yes. It is attempting to be from a scene in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Maybe.
*sucks*

Childermass DOES = Snape! I'm so happy someone else noticed. Sarcastic attitude, the way he despises everyone, the description of his appearance- he is exactly like our Potions Master in every way. Yeah. I really can't see what's so bad about this picture- it's one of the best Raven Guy fanart I've seen, and although he's certainly not angsty he is described as a romantic poet-like figure, which could look rather similar. Definitely closer than anything I've ever drawn.

I don't care what you say, I think this is a most excellent rendition of the Raven King from the end of the book when he shows up in "modern" clothing.

I love it! It's great. The book is also amazing....This picture reminds me a bit of Howl from Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Very nice!

*bounces* I'm reading that book! My dad just got it for me 'cause I'm bedridden for a bit- it's so good! I love your drawing too. The Raven King is definitely my favorite character, and you've done a great job of portraying him. I'll definitely back to see this again when I'm done with the book...

Yay! Glad you like him. It's such a fantastic book, you should probably comment with your thoughts when you're done, if you like...

I like it . It looks really neat. And since I've only gotten to page 6 of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, you haven't recked anything for me.

...Er. Damn.
No but, Childermass totally IS Snape (unlike the Raven King, who I made look like the King of Angst). The description of him = Snape. You haven't read the book... have you? If not, read it so you can fangirl Childermass.

You're right, it's the eye!! Sigh. I think I'd have done better if I'd taken the time to draw him on paper instead of with my Tablet of Doom.
I suck at backgrounds. I never do them. They are evil. >.> (Meaning they take time/effort.)
But thank you for the crit! Really. I think I'll actually redo the whole thing with real pencils and whatnot. I always have a heck of a time managing detail in Open Canvas. And in any paint program for that matter. *scoots off*

Yuh, I used to repeat the eye-thingy all too often, so I've grown keen in spotting that kind of stuff. Glad if you found my scribble useful, good luck with the redo also.
And I agree, backgrounds are a nuisance, even more so because of the enormous amount it can add to a pic if one is successful.

It's not all that bad The visible eye is maybe slightly too high, which leaves little room for the forehead. And you could have put some more work in the background, it looks a bit hasty now. And if you really go into it, the loose feathers in the air could have used more detail. I like the overall impression, however, and the way you textured the jacket and the bird add well to the pic.
