To the sky

Shipwreck in the sea of faces,
There's a dreamy world up there,
Dear friends in higher places,
Carry me away from here,
Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is about to leave,
And there's more to this brave adventure,
Than you'd ever believe,

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... you take to the sky
Owl City | "To the Sky"

I really needed a break from commission and trade work. I really liked how the ballpoint sketch turned out, so I finished up the parts that had been cut off from the paper and colored it up. I've had a lot of problems looking at my work lately, and part of it's been that I got real lazy with things. So I took my time, tried a few new things, and here we are. XD I'm very happy with how it came out. Sorry about the lame bg. >>

I know there's a lot of anatomy issues to work out, but flight pictures are -so hard-. I've wanted to do a series of them. It's a good start.

Anyway, here's Thalion stretching out his wings in a cliche 'fly over the sun' shot. I couldn't resist, it didn't help that Owl City's song's been stuck in my head. XD

And for the curious, here's my first attempt at this kind of scene:

Wow... I'm old. That was 5 years ago. XD

~ Thalion belongs to me.
~ As does his design/race. No you can't use it.
