Description
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

An Irish Airman Foresees His Death; W.B.Yeats

Yay for combo of my fav OC and my fav poem in english language.

Actually, I may not have realised it before, but I've had strong association bonds between Kir and this poem up from beginning. The poem itself is in honor of an Irish aviator who founght and died in air in WWI; it catcher pilot's thought right when he's about to meet his demise.
What did he live for? What was important for him?Why did he fight?
He is not a heroic person; he fought not because he hated someone or wanted to protect someone; he loved sky. His will was to feel the sheer joy of flying, this painfully awesome feeling of freedom. He feels complete while doing what he does.

I think I could say same for Kir. Why does he fight? Why does he struggle, kill, protect, work for guilds, hate father and love someone who won't ever belong to him? (yes, he still does, although that feeling s fading away already) Just because he feels complete that way. He feels comfortable that way - and he knows that he is doing right, he is following his own way...

.....fine, enough of empty chatering XD Sometimes I do tend to speak a lot.
Time: 4 days (about 20 hours) - 10 hours lining, 2-3 hours flats, 3-4 hours shading, 2 hours on adding details and etc. might even try fixing later...
Media: Photoshop CS2.

this is also his spring event outfit. XD

PS - I'm not creative when it comes to titles. =w="""
