Description
Hear the cry from the underworld,
to pull you under
It's the enemy, the journey ends here
Light the path throughout the night,
it's getting closer
Sanctuary in a hollow void
See a sign appear in the dark
Your soul will perish in flames
The Sign of the two turns to one
No savior up on high
The promised euphoria is gone
So hell is life and death
Feel the breath inside your mind,
pervades your soul
Hear the voices cry, through the nether
Your eyes turn inside out; you're all alone now
Feel your heart explode, piece by piece
Pain, suffering just do it,
death is the blessing you seek
Your soul will be free,
Life is an endless torture,
for the mindless and weak
You're killing yourself
-------------------------------------------------
Felt like doing another book scene, and this one in particular was inspired by a song called "The Sign" by the best group you've never heard of, Nocturnal Rites.
If ye've never heard it, here it is: [link]
This would be the scene near the beginning of Firewing right after the earthquake when Griffin is trapped in the cave about to go into the Underworld of Camazotz.
And I remembered to do Griffin's wings the right color this time ^^
This was originally animated as well, somewhat like my earlier one Afterlife, but twice as big and it actually caused my computer to crash.... so I had to go with a still. Worked fine though
Oh! And I figured out how to make Zotz's eyes "Blaze blacker than any night"... just make them look like an eclipse! ^^
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.
Firewing © Kenneth Oppel
The Sign © Nocturnal Rites

I like Griffin's design and the jaguar shadow. Also the song fits Firewing so well!

He looks exactly like the animation from the Silverwing animated series. Was that what you were intending?

That's right Griffin. Get sucked in while crying your eyes out so that your dad can die trying to save your ass.

D'awww, don't be so harsh on him.
I mean, where else could he have gone? Buried alive by an earthquake and nobody even knows where ye went... I think I'd probably go were I in his place.
though if he had just waited awhile then Shade woulda found him...

Very good. special mention for the shadow on the wall.
Also, curious. Where did you get the font you used to sign? Unless you drawn that too (which you would get a +1 in awesome)

Icaron In reply to Chauve-sourisvampire [2010-02-21 23:34:16 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! ^^
I'll have to lose that +1 , it's actually a font called "Morpheus" which is almost identical to the one used on the Silverwing show title. It's here if you want it: [link]

Well, t'was supposed to look like be more like he was moving towards the fissure, but I can see how it might look like that.
But that's the point! Zotz is supposed to be creepy!
Ahh, well, I guess not in that way... that's a whole different kind of creepy... but if it's any consolation, he looks at everyone just the same
