Default Diana knife

Here is a knife I recently finished. The theme is Diana the huntress. I have been working at getting a variety of effects with my dot work. Portraying softness, and translucency, ect. Also with lighting and shadow, if you look at the tree branches you see they are dark in the light, but then fade into grey when backgrounded by the dark. Hope you like it.- Brian

ps I also hid a deer on the side with the dog just for fun

Hi Brian, This one is over the top! It is stunning-beautiful! Would it be okay if I used it on the AirGraver feedback page? Thank you for posting the pics of it.
Steve
PS.. I think I see the deer on the dog side.. but I'm not sure. Is he under the arch of the bow on the left side or is that a leaf? Okay.. I think it is a leaf. I'm not seeing him.

Steve, Thanks for the compliments. If you look straight above her head you will see some funny shaped branches, they outline the deer, the tip of the deer's horn touch the bow. Right in the area where the backlighting is graduating from dark to light. Sure you can add it to the feedback page, I will send you a better pic.-Brian

I couldn't see the hidden deer and Brian had to outline it for me in an email attachment.

Okay, thanks Brian for letting me use the knife on the airgrarver feedback page! I'll look forward to the new pic although these pics are very good.

Steve

Steve, It took me 20 minutes after Brian gave away the placement of it.

I have come back to this post several times, it just seems to get the heart going.
