Description She stood alone in the darkness, trying to compose herself. The announcement would be made soon, making her decision final. There had been no other way. How else could she escape the pain? Her world had come to a standstill when she learned of her lover’s death. All she knew now was misery and darkness. This was the only way to move on, the only way to forget the pain… and yet, there seemed to be something pulling her back. What if this was not the ray of hope that she longed for; not the dawn of a new beginning, but rather the dawn of the eventide?

I wanted to create a feeling of detachment from the world, with Miz, so I made her area strikingly different from the rest of the world. Also I wanted to try to convey that feeling where it seems like world is going by unaware of the tragedy you feel. Like the world just keeps going, and you feel left behind.

Here are some detail shots. [link] I've also written little stories about what's happening to each group of Avians in the background.



Avian species belongs to *kilara

I was just about to say "hey, I saw that species somewhere before" when I read the comments xD

I like the mood and the everyday life of the other avians in contrast

Oh gosh I thought I had commented on this <:[ I remember downloading it and just staring at all the details and admiring the way you did the lighting. It is amazingly done, I feel like I am there and almost feeling the sunlight around me too. Very impressive piece, and lol thanks for putting Deva in it! XD So tiny!

All the details are wonderful! I love the lighting and perspective! Mizgarth's expression really sets the mood.
Im having fun trying to find all the avians in this, with the help of the detail shots!

Thanks. XD

I thought about putting a thumbnail of the whole thing and circling the locations of all of them, but I thought I would let people have fun trying to figure out the exact location. XD
