This flight tonight

in #art7 years ago

Hi! Here's something 'fantasy' like, perhaps not a fully finished painting, but more of a study. An idea I had after noticing how birds keep their heads almost perfectly stationary as they fly, even if they move their bodies quite violently... and also after wondering how the hell would anyone be able to stay on the back of a large creature who moved like that? Because they have to move like that, to beat their wings... the larger the wings, the more the torso has to move, up and down. :)
So this was the result - sit on the head instead!

Also, I wanted to play with the translucency of bat type wings.

Here's the preliminary sketch.

(This reminds me of one of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite bands: This Flight Tonight by Nazareth. This whole album is magic, check out their version ofThe Ballad of Hollis Brown. I'm listening to it right now. )
