Description Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Been in a funk ever since I found out that Steve Irwin died a few hours ago...I had "Blackbird" by Sarah Mclachlan playing and, well, I don't know if I'd call this a tribute, but I was thinking about him as I drew. He will be missed.

lyrics (c) Paul McCartney

This is beautiful! Do you mind if I use it in a layout? I would be sure to credit it back to you c:

Thank you. ^^ I think that would be fine as long as the credit was part of the layout. I would prefer something that links back to this image if possible.

Of course! I can code that much in XD I'm not a huge coder, I make the layouts and I have a friend code them for me. But I can make sure that much happens. Thank you!

This meant a lot to me. This song is my lullaby, the song that gives me hope when I'm sad. I'm so glad you made such a beautiful picture for it. Thank you

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D.(oibyrd's daily devs) feature ! congrats!
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure and also, to introduce the more popular artists to the new/overlooked deviants. I prefer to showcase ALL artwork that I love (and that includes popular artists with a fair amount of traffic to their work) in order to create a non-biased feature of the talent on dA. *PLZ DO KEEP IN MIND - some of the features are quite popular and obviously don't need extra help - however - I enjoy posting them because they inspire other artists. Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! Sandi xoxo

Yeh. I just got back from a fun trip to find out he'd died. Man, it got me all depressed. You really expressed yourself well with this one. Nice.

I love it, awesome! And yeah, it's such a shame that Steve Irwin died. The man was a big influence on me when I was younger, so it sucks to see him go. Keep up the good work.

Wow, very sad, but pretty.

When I read your description I was all "the crocodile guy? o0" but I wen't and looked it up.

I love the black against the bright color, it looks great. The sketchy style you used its very cool too. I like this.

Good use of contrast and the complexity of detail within a simple color scheme. Love the coverging composition as well. However the light behind the bird's head seem a little unnatural against the rest of the pic..but overall a good work. ^^

The tail of the blackbird should be made clearer so to give the full inpression that it is in flight.
I have a version of Blackbird,,,but totally different.
