Description Commission for Lempiy of Dragondestruction 's character Tom. Thank you for commissioning me!

Wow ok so the Friday I decide to do this I lost my pen but I found it and got round to starting the picture on Saturday. The background killed me though, so many failed attempts and ideas :'C I really like doing the shading on this I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Tried something new with the wings, I attempted to make them seem like actual things with body and mass, I really can't tell if it worked though XD

I've really wanted to do an ascending picture for quite some time now so woo!

Check out a snazzy large one here -> sta.sh/0fub7y8ex1y

I only happened to see this earlier today, but even then I had thoughts about it, and I'd say it makes sense for you to be happy about what you managed to pull off.

It's rather appropriate how you name it "Ascend", because there is indeed a feeling of ascension going on, but not just ascension, but also rotation. Two feelings of movement combined together into one image, which is impressive to say the very least. I do agree you've done it there, along with other details, especially the clouds which allow a better idea of that 'rotating' feel. 

Well done here, and I owe you my thanks to you for putting it all together, along with thanks to Lempi for commissioning.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 

I see what you mean with the rotation thing I didn't notice that before~

It took a little while for me to see it myself, but then once you do see it, it's a lot like those 'cannot unsee' moments.

I can't look at it without leaning now XD

Does the leaning apply in any direction, or are you leaning a certain way? I wanna try this...

Well I think you're right there.. Or at least I can guess so.
