Description "Look, Mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky.

Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye"

This is the Warplane Eagle from Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Done in Prisma Colored Pencils and markers


The Warplane Eagle belongs to Pink Floyd
The drawing belongs to me, if you steal it, the Eagle will swoop out of the sky and kill you.

Really like the mechanical eagle plane hybrid in Goodbye Blue Sky; it gives off this Chernobog/FireBird from Fantasia atmosphere. Showing an overwhelming and horrific image at the same time.

the origianal artist of the Wall art is Gerald Scarfe. Heres a link to his site [link] you are quite good at drawing the Wall monsters but if you want to study it a bit more this will help

Yep! I love his art, so twisted. I have a book with all the art he did for The Wall. Thanks for the link to his website, I've bookmarked it.
I actually want to redo this one. I wouldn't say I hate it, but it's not one of my favorite Floyd fanart pieces that I've done. I think I can draw the War Eagle better.

Yeah! I have his book "Drawing Blood"! It's wonderful!The war eagle is my favorite wall monster other then the Frightened Ones! Another good, twisted artist is Ralph Steadman, he illistrated the Orwell book 'Animal Farm'! [link]

The Marching Hammers are my favorite Wall monster. So much so, that I actually made a stuffed animal hammer with scrap material. He was going to be called Hammie, but because he flops over, it's been changed to Flopsie.
The War Eagle is my second favorite. Maybe I'll try to make a stuffie of him next. The War Eagle reminds me of my favorite Judas Priest monster, The Hellion. [link]
Ooo, I forgot about Steadman. I think I used to have that version of Animal Farm.

the Hellion looks awsome!
And I grew up with that copy of Animal Farm too! It's changes the ways I picture animals!

I go through phases when I use watercolour paint. I'll probably go back to using ordinary pencils soon. XD

Awesome!! Now all you have to draw is the planes that turn into tomb stones,and the baby that turns into a skinhead and clubs the old man!
Great job!!

Oh yeah, I could try my hand at those, cause right of the moment I'm not sure what to draw next from The Wall. Of curse, there's always the Judge
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
