Description Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Before they took off from the island Minos, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea. It has been said he flew too close to the sea and the feathers got wet, ceased working due to added weight. And so, Icarus fell into the sea in the area which bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.

Another Greek.
It is another story of Icarus I portrayed here. I quite modified it. Instead of being too close to the sun, he becomes to close to sea and sees the goddess Galene, and becomes captivated by her. Unknown to the boy, he becomes too close to the sea and he drowns to his death.
Not sure if I did them justice.

I love how you did Galene's face. It's romantic in a tragic sort of way, but I guess that's as romantic you can get with Greek mythology. xD

Anyway I love this.

I stuck with pencil work because I just had so much fun with pencils, at least more than ink. xDDD
I MISS YOU TOO. DUDE, reply kaaaaaaa

Or if you want we could just do email if it's getting too long on here. xDD


ALSO, hahaha Claire Maguire. I like her voice.

Clare Maguire's music is somehow too serious for me but I keep listening to her because of her voice...it's like a very deep dive into an unknown ocean.

Pencils! Yes, I am in love with pencils. Can't get enough...it's that lovely pleasure of shading that keeps me hooked; the sound of pencil on paper is so romantic. The smoky gray or black that it emits in every stroke...it's addictive. LOL

Dude, texting is so much easier XDDD
This morning was very nerve-wrecking for me...thanks for being there *dies on the spot.

I only listened to the same one you listened to, and "The Sword and the Shield". Super powerful and unique voice. I'm not a fan of her type of music though, so I only ended up listening to those two. xDD Still, I admit she's a vocal genius.

Hahaha as usual you put it down so poetically. I love the way shading puts down on paper, especially when the lead is soft enough to do the strokes you want. And gradients, SO MUCH FUN to do.

LOL okay, just text me whenever you can. I don't have load either all the time (I'm broke hahaha) but I'll try to reply when I do.
Hee, you're welcome. Let me know how it turns out.

This is the rare version. This version does exist...although I added Galene to make it more romantic. XD
