Description Hey, so you guys might be familiar with the song "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" - maybe you're big Smashing Pumpkins fans, maybe you've been watching Watchmen trailers obsessively for a while, maybe you've just heard it on the radio - and if you are familiar with the song, and familiar with Chelidon and Aedon, you might have realized it's a fucking awesome Chelidon and Aedon song.

Or at least so I feel.

This was fun as hell to color (except for the pain in my back, ah gods I need a desk, and my tablet cord is threatening to bite the dust), but a bitch to draw. I tried to make Chelidon look more like a giant fox instead of a giant wolf-thing like the other pictures of him, but this only served to remind me of how I can't draw foxes. AH WELL. For now I am happy with it!

Not familiar with the characters, though know the song, but I can still say that the picture is very much awesome. I love the composition, it draws you right in.

Woman, you should post more often.. this is really awesome. *n* I missed them both srsly. I like how protective Chelidon is..he's like a big fluffy fox. Your style for foxes shows through, I don't see how can you see it as a wolf though. It might be the colours imo. XDD The sky is beautifully rendered. <33
