Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

The final picture in this little series, and the only one I actually like. The shadow here is words, and I did a little shading on the main body too. My only gripe with this one is that the little darker words under his back are supposed to be his right arm, but the shading equalized the color a little too much and now they make it look more like Icarus just has a freakishly big torso. I also learned, while experimenting, that apparently the plastic wrap filter in Photoshop makes things look neat and shiny, so I used it to create the little underwater surface effect.

Now that this series is over, I'd appreciate any feedback I can get from anybody. Was my little experiment successful, or did I create only a horrible abomination that should be killed with fire?
