Description
It started out as just me randomly drawing clouds. Then a couple of hours later, I added a guy with wings and call him Icarus.Photoshop CS
EDIT 20.03.09: it is now an album cover for setu-firestorm. Here's the link to one of the songs:

Hi, is there any way to still get the full-res version of this?

It's already the full-res version because it started as a cloud-drawing exercise. Sorry.

ItΒ΄s wonderful, indeed. Β But it seems that your Icarus is not falling, but swimming to the surface in order to avoid being drowned into the depths of the unconsciousness: he is not falling to his death, he is saving himself.Β Very beautiful, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay!

Hi there. There are no prints for this. Give me your email and I can send you the full-res version so you can print it yourself.

Would you mind if I used this for an album cover?
None of my music is commercial; I just like to make album covers to associate with the rock music I make that's freely downloadable.

Not at all. I'd be honoured, in fact. In return, can you give me one of your songs to listen to?

Sure. Only the first song is completed right now, but here's the link to it on my Newgrounds:

i think this is very beautiful. overall the colors are great, the movement of the clouds is great, and the figure is beautiful..
critique.. well.. the "fall" would mean that he would be falling, but from the look of his wings, unless he is falling extremely slowly, they should be upways, and the dotty things [excuse my ignorance, i have no idea what they are, but i'm guessing they are additional to the wings] should also be trailing above the wings, to show that he is in fact falling..
so.. perhaps change the title to "the flight" instead of "the fall"
i know.. its annoying to have someone like me say that.. but.. eh.. i had to.
all in all though, the picture - in itself - is very gorgeous. its pleasing to look at, and it has a very gentle feel to it. which is just wonderful
great work!

Holy shit, that's damn good. The wings suck though, but otherwise it's amazing.

This is wonderfully done! I love the energy in the light and color of the sky, and the expressive pose of the angel.
Keep on creating!
