The crow of crimson

For a number of months now, I've had a very abstract idea of doing a dark moody-looking piece with alot of red and black.
I also had been wanting to somehow incorperate crows, ravens or blackbirds into it since those birds have always intrigued me
Recently these ideas finally materialized into this, something dark, crimson and biseinen ^_____^. It was also time for a break
from my usual girly candy colors, so a good solid primary color like red was a welcome change. And, man, one serving of this dark
stuff goes a long way LOL. I think I'm already looking forward to some pretty girly colors again XD. I also noticed that alot of
my previous work up until now, especially the more recent stuff, was lacking in detailed backgrounds, so I tried to do more in terms
of atmosphere and background in this one too. So it's at least more of a bg than I usually do lol. I'd say there's probably some
Howl's Moving Castle influence in this, as well as general gothic influence.
