"Icarus" by Himbeere Punsch

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 9 out of 20 by Himbeere Punsch. ←Previous - Next→


	when his father made a machine to fly and evade Mino's prision, also did make a pair of wings of wooden framework, and warned his son. he should not fly so high that the sun could melt the wax, not so under that the sea could dampen his wings. However, Icarus flew too near the sun, changing a minute of joy for a mortal fall. he bet the soul by a second of complete happiness.

5 May 2005	Diane M. Johnson	Loading... I really like how you have him posed. I tried to draw a pose similar to that, with the head facing up, it never seemed to turn out right. The only thing in this picture that bothers me is how his torso and his legs seemed to be squished. Otherwise, Two thumbs up and a pat on the back! Keep up the good work!
27 Jun 2005	Adam Callaby	Loading... I've seen quite a few images of Icarus and i have to say, yours is one of the best! i like how he's just welcoming the sun with his arms even when his wings are done for! ha! anyways, his wings even look as if they are coming out of his hair! but it's still good, i like the simplicity of this pic with just the restricted palate of yellows and browns. and how you kinda avoided putting in his lower regions, but it looks fine still! anyways! great job!
