Description
With this piece, I wanted a real sense of scale. The theme is all about flight and trusting yourself. I wanted it to feel like a dream; the only way to find out if you can fly or not is to jump.Time: Approx 5-6 hours
Tools: Photoshop CS3 & Wacom Intuos tablet

ho boy, I sure hope he's got some kinda power not apparent to the eye, otherwise he has a loooong way to regret the action.

I absolutely love this. And I'm pretty sure I would jump. It would, at the least, be a great view on the way down. This is gorgeous.

This piece is fantastic. I knew I had to click on it when I saw it displayed on the main page. The colors were the first thing to grab my attention, with the almost neon blues and greens, and the contrasting orange. I really like how you tried to make the boy and the birds similar in looks with one another, it expresses the idea you are trying to get across: flight.
Excellent job!

Holy damn! That is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen on DA. Instant
When I get some disposable income again I'll probably buy a print of this.

This has such a dream like quality to it. It feels as if I could join them in jumping off and finally get that dream of flying! This is a beautiful piece with incredible perspective.

Critiques? Um, it's gorgeous?
Hmm... maybe because I first saw it as a thumbnail, I felt the effect of depth could be pushed a little further. It's probably because there's equal portion of land and sky, there's a lesser feeling of a danger of falling into empty space. But it pretty much resolves itself when full viewed and it's still gorgeous. |D I need to stop slacking and draw more, this is awesome...

Das ist schΓΆn! Die Farben sind klasse. Und wenn ich mir das so anseh ... entweder fliegt er wirklich gleich oder er verwandelt sich einfach in einen Vogel

This is so beautiful, I love how you've made the rocks so detailed and how the character really does look ready to jump off the edge and follow the birds. However, I can also see it in another way where it looks like the character is wishing he could fly with the birds but can't. Either way, I love it. Very well done!

Awesome, awesome work. You really succeeded with the scale here. I'm staring into a snapshot of another world I wish existed. The colors are inspiring and you did great with this.
