As the car hurried swiftly out of sight Naberius was left standing in the convents' extensively lush garden, only a wry smile displayed on his forefront as the priest departed from his sight. The chilling air whirled the clouds up over in the dismal cobalt sky, the sun had fully retreated into the horizon. Feeling the acute chill of the wind lightly beat against his suit and tie he contently raises his head, the eerie serenity of the growing dusk cut short as enclosing crows above make their way down, perching on the bushes behind the ever so patient demon. Almost at once a collection of crows flock from their dwelling towards Naberius and take their place accompanying him. Soon, a congregation perched behind him and squawked a cacophony of low ragged caws, the calls echo through out the garden and far into the wooded area surrounding the convent. As the night amplifies Naberius faces the direction of the not long ago vanished priest, an apathetic, yet warm-hearted smile crept into appearance, a tender, hoarse voice contently instructs, "Keep a watchful eye on our friend, we would not want anything bad to happen to him." Bobbing their heads profusely the crows then push off against the bushes and take flight into the sky. Beating their wings against the defiant wind with forceful might they too disappear out of sight.

And yes, a song goes with this, it being called Lesser Evil.

With Thomas out of sight Naberius makes sure that he keeps track on his new friend. Many say that the crow/raven are the devils' messengers. They say this without knowing that the devil in this case is Naberius. There was a time when crows were like the common bird until Naberius favored them and gifted them with wit and intellect only to ask for their servitude in return. "Honestly, they are quite remarkable creatures," he would say, "they are perhaps the only I have interest in." To the crows Naberius is an idol, a god even, and they at carry out what ever request he asks of.

I love the effects on this one. Especially the blur on the foremost crows. I didn't realize till now that you don't draw profile that often.

My school is flooded with crows. :XD:

Yeah, I used to way back when but now I sorta lost it. So I'm getting back in on the profile fun.

I love crows.

Flooded with crows? Naberius is watching.

This is fucking epic. I love the subtle blurs and the the whole crowd of crows surrounding Naberius and his kind, but evil expression. Just awesome. I can't think of anything else other than moar narration of your story too. :3

:heart:

Epic, I'm happy to hear it. I was having such a hard time on the blur, and finding the right one to fit it all, hope it worked out. Nothing like a "caring" Naberius wanting to look out for Thomas using his "MURDER" of crows.
:iconlionplz:
Moar Narration eh? I guess. :nod:

I've gotten into a groove where profile is the only thing I feel comfortable doing now, because it's the most realistic. Once I get a good grip on that I'll try 3/4 view, using the same methods to figure out how to do it more realistically the same way I figured out profile. But right now, all my 3/4 look more or less the same. :S

Crows are the win. Apparently Crow is my Animal Spirit Guide. I read the description of her and it was frightening (not in a scary way lol) how close it was.

I knew it! *shifty eyes* Must find Naberius... must glomp...
