Description
But son, please keep a steady wingAnd know your the only one that means anything to me
Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
Wont you look at your wings
They're coming undone
They're splitting at the seams
Steer clear of the sun, for once wont you listen to me?
Lyrics from "Daedalus" by Thrice
----------------------------------------
Part of my Greek Mythology series. Icarus' father made them wings of feathers, string, and wax so they could escape the Labyrinth, but Icarus flew too close to the sun and plummeted to the sea.

Beautiful! His wings look like they're breaking, as if they were made of something hard, and melting, like something fragile and soft, at the same time)

In the myth, his wings were constructed out of feathers, wax, and string. ^^

Aren't they preeeeetty?! I am jealous. Except for, y'know, the whole falling apart thing.
Heee, I'm glad to hear that. I'm actually focusing a bit more on humans so I can practice faces and anatomy since they were one of my weaker spots.
