wow. i just watched some sequences from 'The Wall' (my fav movie and album) so i'm in a very floydie mood.

Pink Floyd is my second all-time favorite band (the first being the Beatles) so this was an extremely pleasent treat for the eyes. the shading, concept and the overall compsition of the peice is mind-boggling. plus the color right in the middle really slaps you in the face, in the good way. however the thing that really sticks out for me is the image of the plane/deep-sea creature with hammers as wings dropping bombs. i absolutly love that part and it shows that you can put your own interpretation on Floyd lyrics instead of drawing solely what the album covers present.

this is an extremely awesome and amazing drawing. ing forever.

This is eye capturing! I love Pink Floyd pics and this is the best one ive seen up to date! I love it from top to bottom! Must have taken sooo long! I wouldn't have the patients for it lol Good job, keep up the great work!

PS: I specially like the Eye with the Dark Side of the Moon in the middle. Pure beauty! Reminds me a bit of PULSE at the same time lol ^_^

O.O As a huge fan of Pink Floyd, I would like to smack myself 'til I realise how much I really love this ^.^ Wonderful job! I'd give you a better C&C, but since I gave up detailed drawing (well in general...) like this, I don't really think I have much place in critiquing it.

They should burn that image in to the dark side of the moon, and put really really big floodlights on it so we can see it (well only for a few minutes, 'cause otherwise it wouldn't be the dark side of the moon).

Oooh. Wow.... Nice work. You really captured the whole 'psychological' theme that appears through out their music. And the portraits of the band members are great. Looks like it came right out of that... one picture that... I think is in the Dark Side of the Moon CD Booklet... not sure though. Anyway. GREAT DRAWING!!!

This is absolutely one of the best depictions of the entire band I have seen in a drawing, the likeness is right on for all of them. You're attention to detail is pretty amazing, and the placement and integration of the inspirational elements of their albums and songs has such a great flow to it. Almost sort of whimsical, yet more like an "in" sort of thing that only other Floyd fans could fully get.

I really enjoyed looking at this and discovering what each of the images symbolized. This is a truly awesome drawing!

definately

thank you so much for such kind words of encouragment!! and it was a pleasure and honor to do a drawing tribute to my favorite progressive-rock band ever!! ...I must add, that almost during 70 or 80 percent of the time I employed in drawing this, I was listening to the Floyd..so the inspiration was certainly IN THE FLESH... ... yup...Saucerful of secrets, Dark side of the moon, Meddle, The best Dancing songs (I think that's the title) The Wall, Pulse, and Division Bell albums were most definitely the ones from which I tried to take the composition... thanks for the favorite too!

flybynite In reply to Akifan [2005-01-21 16:57:05 +0000 UTC]

You are very very welcome indeed. You've accomplished what I perceive to be a very sincere tribute to the music of the Floyd in your drawing. It's just truly awesome. You are so extremely talented with the pencils man.

I'd fave it twice if I could heheh

Akifan In reply to flybynite [2005-02-14 17:14:40 +0000 UTC]

...you're very kind indeed... hopefully I might later be able to do surrealistic-realistic concept drawings inspired on the lyrics from their albums. ..it all started when my dad recorded from the radio the concert of delicate sound of thunder..and that was it!!.. I was hooked by their landmark song "shine on your crazy diamond" since 89'..lol

Well I can honestly say i'd love to see any more Floyd inspired work that you can muster, you're truly talented and obviously a great fan of the music.

Surrealism is definately tricky to pull of in pencil...
