Description
"An old man by a seashoreAt the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar"
Nightwish - The Islander
One of my favorite songs ever
w It just has that something 
I was watching the music video and got an idea for this pic ^^

I'd never heard of this group or this song, but I looked it up on Youtube so I could view this piece with the song that inspired it. ^^ It's a beautiful song matching this equally beautiful piece! I love the use of the grays to set the dismal mood in this piece. The sky came out particularly well. It looks so vast.
The poor, sad Raichu came out awesomely, too. I love its little claws and how its tail is flipped over its lap. The depth on its body is very well done and the piece overall looks really slick and professional without outlines to be seen anywhere.

Wow ^^ Thank you a lot
I've been for so long inspired by that song and in this pic, I finally managed to make something out of that inspiration 
The band is very famous here in Finland and he gained notable reputation (in Finnish standards XD) internationally too ^^
I've been practicing on without outlines drawing and this one came out pretty good compared to my other :3 It is still sharp, when all my no-outline works seem kinda fuzzy and unsharp.
