Artist's Comments

hi deviants!

this is an image I made trying to combine haida art (one of Canada's west coast native art styles) with my own twist.

Hope someone likes it.

Any suggestions or comments are gratefully accepted

Eloy

Draco: So Matt, if your a real master thief, try to get to the vase without tripping any alarms. *points*
Me: No problem. *swiftly jumps from wall to wall, snatches vase within 10 seconds*
Jinsoku:..... *looks at Draco* You owe me 1000 yen.

This looks really cool.

It does look like it has much more of your twist then being haida.

are you from a northwest tribe?
:iconeloy07:
Thanks

I know what you mean, it all started with a simple graphite sketch [link] and then when I started working on it on photoshop and after adding colour it look cool but it wasn't enough for me so i Kept adding stuff to it till i got to that point.

I also have one of an eagle [link] check it out if you can

No, I am not from a northwest tribe, actually I'm from Mexico but, i have strong feelings for northwest cultures, I haven't studied much about them so I decided to start by analyzing their artistic expressions and fell in love with the interpretation of shapes and use of colours. and in the middle of this process I found a new way (for myself) to represent what i saw as a similar style to Haida.

One of my first memories of haida art, i was about 6 years old, is a totem pole and i was just fascinated of the concept of the storytelling and craftsmanship.

once again thanks for the comment and sorry about the rant

I wouldnt consider that a rant.

yea I really like your eagle one and it looks like it has more of a haida influence then this one.
:iconeloy07:
thanks

i really like the eagle because i feel i was able (as you said) to portray more of a haida influence, drawing the wings was tricky but it was really fun to do.

I was checking your galley and really like your imagery.
:iconxeloten-xelet:
yea I think wings are one of the more difficult things to draw in this style. and you did a good job on both pics thats why I added them to my favorites and now watching you.

are you from a tribe in mexico?
:iconeloy07:
Yeah man thanks for the comments and for adding them to your favourites.

No, I'm just a city boy, from Mexico city, and unfortunately most that i know from my ancestry takes me back to europe (spain, france) but since how things work on a colonized territory, it has been hard for me to know my full ancestry (Bummer)

hey I read your profile and i think that it is really cool that you are doing environmental research on T’Sou-ke territory.

Man, it must be a trip and a half to be able to connect to your roots and see, explore and find the strength within.

Man, that's awesome that's one of the things i have in my to do List
