Description InformationI kind of can't believe this image even happened. I was bored and listlessly going through my pictures, re-organizing and fine-tuning everything like the neurotic dude I am, and I came across one final file I didn't know--"Zy." So I opened it and saw a barely-started galaxy background and remembered an image I'd started months upon months ago for someone I no longer associate with, and boom. I suddenly wanted to finish this manip. A galaxy scene became a water scene, a few concepts came around, and then a horse falling came to be. It was gonna be a YHH, but as I worked on it, the amazing HarleyKyn started loving it more and more, so I decided to sell it to her directly and do her 2 magnificent characters, Wraith (#1) and Rory . The concept is that the winged horse, Rory, is the projected soul of Wraith, the wingless, fallen angel who has hit the surface of the water. There's a lot of symbolism interwoven here and I hope the viewers enjoy interpreting this more abstract piece however it comes to them! That's how art is meant to be enjoyed, after all. As for how dang tiny it is.... all I can say is that doing my tiny little YHHs lately has been a huge help in dealing with this pixel-piece hahah. Not to mention those wings!

Geez you really leveled up! I was out of dA for half a year and I come back to this. I lift my (imaginary) hat. The composition is close to perfection, I actually can't find the words to descibe it. You, Sir, are a jedi. Like, seriously.

Holy crap. So, this means so much to me that I told my roommate about it almost first thing, cuz this.. wow. I mean, that's like if you became an actor solely because of George Clooney and then one day he complimented your acting skills--just in that you're the reason I stopped being content with horse-on-a-hill generic pieces, so to have you compliment my concept/composition is... momentous. This is a very, very important and amazing moment and I am so grateful that you took the time to comment. Thank you so much! For both being my inspiration, for posting things that pushed me, and for circling back and letting me know you noticed my work and liked it. I appreciate it beyond measure.

*whenever I have a small chance to get on dA(since i'm so busy rn) I always at least make sure to see if you have uploaded any art, and then I see this.

This is absolutelyinsanelybeautifullymakesyouwannastareatitforever amazing! For such a "small" image in size, you sure as heck made it seem so so detailed. The technique behind the falling and even the whole background blending of a water/galaxy, it makes me feel like the characters are falling through one dimension to the next.

I can't stop looking at it!

Oh my gosh, you really know how to make an artist feel noticed and appreciated. This comment gave me tingles. Thank you so much, to think you single out my art like that and actually anticipate it, I am so floored and so honored and I can't even express how touched I am right now. Thank you. Sometimes, your encouragement single-handedly propels me into a new piece.

I love how much motion this has. You really understand the falling part without having to think about it. Even before reading the description I was already thinking 'falling angel'. Very beautiful!

Ruanly In reply to heelerluvr [2017-02-09 04:14:23 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! That means so much to me that the concept was conveyed without me having to explain it. I always feel that is the mark of failed art, if it has to be explained and can't stand on its own two feet, and I was really worried that this was one of those pieces. I'm downright ecstatic that you picked up on it and appreciated it from your own view

Mother of fuck.
I can honestly say I don't think I've ever seen anything like this! The simplicity is so nice & refreshing but the details are still strong & prominent. It's a nice balance.

I could have ended the drought of California single handedly because this still makes me want to cry in all the best ways. It was an absolute HONOR to see you work through concepts, to watch your talent unfold in such a spectacular way, to see you take a leap outside the box, landing firmly on your feet. I still cannot believe this got to be a piece of my favorite duo - you really are too sweet of a churro doughnut~ This is absolutely GORGEOUS, the work you did is just breathtaking! This honestly made my night, it made my day!

Thank you again so, so much! From the bottom of my heart! From the heart of my bottom! You fabulous, fantastic person <3

hehe your wit is stupendous, as always. I love how you phrase things. You're so welcome, as welcome as welcome gets, and I am so happy I could make this piece for you. It's one of the gems in my gallery, one of the few I'll probably love forever, and the fact that you own 2 of those pieces now (the other being Thok) just makes me so damn happy. Nothing better than getting to work with your favorite customer and closest friend!

My Dad raised me with a pretty damn good wit, I owe it all to him! That and witty television shows. And my own random-as-hell mind!

I don't even know what to say right now. Like, how do I respond to that? Besides screaming like a llama on a rollercoaster? I just, I cannot even with you. I cannot even at all.
