Description
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seenSo unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see,so how did this come to be?
Arrived too early.
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear,
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on,
far away from here.
--------------------------------------------
'Tis an animated loop, so Full-view it, please. The most ambitious one I have attempted yet using photoshop. It may not look too complicated, but believe me, making all those frames by manipulating layer by layer in photoshop is perhaps the most difficult thing I have yet to attempt on a computer.
It may need a moment to load before it runs smoothly.
I noticed ~Draco6767 doing a couple of these, images inspired by songs, so I thought I'd do one as well. ^^
This one is based of Avenged Sevenfold's song "Afterlife" which I've been thinking fit Firewing rather well for quite some time. It's on youtube here: [link] if you haven't heard it.
I meant to color Griffin's wings orange, like they were supposed to be... but I only realized I hadn't after I had made this and I didn't feel like making all the frames again.
60 Frames, made individually in Photoshop CS.
This design of Griffin ended up kinda being a mix of =tuftedpuffin 's, *luna1502 's, and mine, so bits of his style I guess are © their respective owner.
Silverwing © Kenneth Oppel
Afterlife © Avenged Sevenfold

Another fitting quotation:
"Oh bury me not on the lone prairie."
Where the coyotes wail and the wind blows free.
And when I die, don't bury me
beneath the western sky, on the lone prairie.
"Oh bury me not on the lone prairie."
These words came soft and painfully
from the pallid lips of a youth who lay
on his dyin' bed, at the break of day.
But we buried him there, on the lone prairie
where the rattle snakes hiss and the wind blows free.
In a shallow grave, no one to grieve
beneath the western sky, on the lone prairie.
"Oh bury me not on the lone prairie."
These words came soft and painfully
from the pallid lips of a youth who lay
on his dyin' bed, at the break of day.
On his dyin' bed, at the break of day.

Well, if you recall from the book, Luna died because of the burns she received when Griffin dropped that burning stick. When she was described in the book, it said she had burns and other similar injuries on her wings and back.
So, I was just trying to go along with that
Thanks for faving by the way ^^

I reccomended the Silverwing series to my uncle. He liked them, but he was glad when Shade died in Firewing.
I gave him the glare of death!

Oh... was it under the "more firewing crap" slot?

Draco6767 In reply to Icaron [2009-08-21 20:35:19 +0000 UTC]
yeah,
see, I had some ideas while reading Firewing of stuff to draw, Goth in the mines, the Pilgrims etc, but not really one scene.
Hence the name
more recently, I heard of that song and decided to make a Firewing poster based on the song (which is finnished in my computer files)
seeing as I already had 'more Firewing crap' and that was a Firewing project, I just didn't bother to change the name
but there was no way you would have known, don't worry.

I just listened to it on playlist. It's bizarre.... yet awesome! (Kinda gross as well)
