Description This is a piece for of her character, Yuuri.

I've been wanting to draw this character for a while, and recently I had the inspiration (as well as permission) to do so.

I tried to capture many symbolic things here. Feathers, representing flight. Black representing tarnish as well as circling back to one of Yuuri's pieces. The tall buildings are a little distorted to give a more angular depth to the piece, making it feel like there's a lot of air, somewhat of a vastness. The pose featured leans on action, running and leaping, as if into the unknown. The silhouette compliments the unknown factor. The clouds swirling in the sky help make the building's distortion more dramatic, but I didn't want to make the sky to bold. The spiraling clouds also hint to chaos, yet faintly.

The sun is the the back of the character to bring reason to the silhouette, but also because it is oh so awesome to have the sun being toasty

YAY! Explanation!

I really enjoy the movement in this picture. This reminds me of a speed vault in parkour. Is that where you got the movement from? Anyways, I love the colors and how it's a silhouette. Great job.

I think that's what it was, a speed vault. I had a fun time depicting the movement in this piece, so I'm glad that it shows. thanks ^^

Mean system won't let me write a critique! Bad DA! BAD!

This is great: I love the gesture, free-fall is hard to get. The folds and movement in the cloths are good, and the glare and light effects are wonderful.

Yes: but it save you having to suffer through a long exposition from yours truly; if there is an economy of words I am a very rich man who wishes to share my abundant wealth.

Of course, people who have to read all my typed "verbal-diarrhea" (Need a better name for written work) wold disagree.

Hamachi is a program that makes it look like many computers on the net are attached to the same network.

Panda-Pye and I used it for a bit yesterday to oC till her connection died like a plague victim.

I actually assumed it was more like Autumn in this picture, somehow. Maybe it's the colour scheme?
