Looks like somebody was reading about Icarus and didn’t get to the end!
Haha…I loved that story!!
– Firedrake
Ooooh, poor thing, hope he lands softly! The red and gray work so well together! Excellent creation Kaitlin! :D
Aw! Gorgeous
I think he may have a thick skin for protection, the red and gray are nice colours.
Stunning and uniquely your style Firedrake. Your take on the story of Icarus perhaps ; )
Great piece.
oh no, the poor thing…
looks fantastic, love the red!
pure magic! what a fantastic imagination you have….
love the red!
… love the bits of stickytape on the feathers :-)) – and it’s really amazing how they always look shiny and leathery in a way. Fantastic technique! Needless to say, this one made me smile. A+
Thanks :)

LOL… poor ‘little something’. The contrasts between red and grey makes it much more intense. Wonderful excecuted.
