Description
I did this to unwind after a really frustrating english class today. If i had known that I would have the energy to do something past a half-baked concept, i probably would have made a little effort to at least come up with an original idea. But I've been wanting to try out the theme of random-unexplained-flying-boy for a while, it entices me and i cannot explain it.all artistic value aside, though, i enjoyed making this. SHAMELESSLY filtered manip for the background,

city- [link]
Paint Tool SAI and photoshop

I think "So long and thanks for the fish" is my favourite out of the books mostly because of Fenchurch.

I love the interesting poses, and the movement I can see in it! When I look at it, I have so many stories unfolding in my head about what they're doing and how they got there and who they are etc etc. AAhhh, It's a nice, fun looking piece. And doesn't matter about the background, it was just for fun anyway

This reminds me of Douglas Adams' book "Hitchikers Guide" where Arthur taught Fenchurch the trick of flying. (Throw yourself at the ground and miss.)

I am literally tearing up going through your gallery. You are without question one of the greatest artists I've found on this site. I'm so lucky to have come across your spectacular work - it leaves me breathless.

i think the reality of the city enhances the cartoony-ness of the characters above it, but your style is very real in a way that makes the whole thing feel very surreal.
you have such a unique and enticing style. i really enjoy this. and i just love the concept. i can hardly take my eyes off this, it's so awesome. : D

Ha! Have you ever seen "Howl's Moving Castle"? When I first saw this I thought about it and it reminded me of that movie. Good job! (And the manip background doesn't bother me, so "poo you!" all those people who complained.)

Beautiful work! I think the city below looks cartoony thru the fog and it works just great!

Randomly flying boy all I can think of is the movie The Boy Who Could Fly but this is considerably prettier <3 I like that you did put some effort into the photo background to make it mesh and hey it is better than nothing and if you returned to it it gives you a great beginning!

I'm kind of tempted to think this is what Peter Pan would look like if he were a bit older and, you know, a bit of a hipster. And maybe the tiniest bit sinister looking. I love the bright colors and sense of motion you convey!

There's something about your style and concepts that just send me to a different place :3

Mmm, this is wonderful ;w;
Love their faces so much, and the hair and the folds in the clothing, especially her dress, it's all so nice~ <33
Her legs confused me a bit at first, but I don't think it takes away from the piece :>

He's only a little bit of a creep, which is just the way I like him. Love the dance-y quality of the both of them. And again, how did we completely miss each other during wintersession? Are we not fated to meet?

I just love this piece! Your character designs are always amazing, but for some inexplicable reason this has to be one of my favourite artworks of yours, to date.

Eventhough the idea might not be original, I think you did it better than other people! I really how much character you put in your character; especially with their facial expressions and body language!

I love your work. very nice.

Reminds me of 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish,' the most hopelessly romantic of the five-part Hitchhiker's trilogy. Love the sense of motion and weightlessness. Really eye-catching.
