Tempest the Hawk

This is a higher-quality retake of a piece I posted a while back.

Basically, this is Tempest Haverford from my story, The Winged. She is fourteen years old, a freshman in high school, and has the wings of a goshawk. Follow her adventures by clicking here --> [link]

This was my first serious - voluntary - experiment with mixed media. The background was painted; Tempest was sketched with pencil, inked with pens, colored with markers, shaded with colored pencils, flecked with white paint, cut out, and pasted over aforementioned background. PHEW.
