Description ""I could be your songbird, singing to you all day.
I could be your songbird, trapped and with no choice but to stay.

I could be your songbird, singing to myself to sleep in the night.
I could be your songbird, set free and taking in the light. "

'Songbird' - Ellie Fell

OMG LISTENING TO THE SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMMARON SOUNDTRACK AND OMG AJDOSCLSOSLCOSOSJSOKC MEMORIES. SOB SOB CRY.

Uh, now that I've gotten over that, hi!

Um, I may of forgot to scan the sketches for the Art Trades before I left for Wales, so I only had stuff already on my computer to work with. So I finished this and some Comic Concept Art

Doing this shading is so much quicker with a tablet! I actually tried to do a complex background, but it was a total flop ( [link] ) and I guess I didn't like it anyway so I just gave up

Anyway I felt that this simple one fitted the song better <3 Y'know, with the night / light / caged themes. I think this is a younger Consonance, when she watched the birds singing most of her life because it was the only thing she could do since no one wanted her near them because of her tainted blood

And so, when the Eden took Consonance on as the Muse - and pretty much an adopted daughter to be raised alongside Eden's own daughter (yes, yes, she has one and she's in my scraps) - it was a massive political decision that made halfbred spiralaes generally more accepted across the kingdom.

Rights for all, yay!

Not that I'm a politician or anything and would know anything about politics

Enjoy everybody!

Awahh~
This is so pretty
And she is so elegant
And the shadowing makes it so...
Dramatic!!

And it's an adorable poem, too >w<

But I need to say this:
The shadow on the wall makes it look like the light is coming from below, but there is shadow on her belly... below...
But that aside, I love this

I'll start off with the bottom first
Firstly, thanks for the pointers! xD Originally, the background wasn't supposed to be like this, and so with the change of background came a change of lighting that wasn't intended. It was originally coming from above xD

Thank you hun!

Crystal-Cinders In reply to MysteryFalls [2013-05-27 14:12:43 +0000 UTC]

I could, but I just coded a new one for myself and coding CSS is sooo time consuming But it might make a nice skin, so I might have a go
