Artist's Comments

I've been meaning to make this for a very long time, but ever time I attempted it I hated it so much I just scrapped the whole thing. I've finally produced a version I like enough upload. lol.

This is a gift for a friend named Ellie. This is her character Ithildin. He was born to the race of Winged Horses (pegasi) in the skies. Some defect by birth rendered him wingless. The kindness of the king let him lead a life that bore some semblance of normalcy, but it was not enough. Ithildin elected to come down to the ground and live among those who were also flightless. But in Elysium, some of the groundlings also have wings. So Ithildin doesn't really belong anywhere. Not on the ground, and not in the sky.
He is a wonderfully complicated character with a beautifully tragic history, and he's one of my favorites on the site. Ellie is a marvelous writer and she's made him into one of the most interesting characters of the site. And some of us are hoping he'll hook up with another of the most interesting characters, *crosses fingers* lol.
Anyway, enjoy!

Ithildin belongs to Ellie from Elysium. No touchy.

Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A BOAT"

This is one of the most beautiful manips I've ever laid eyes on! The symmetry between the mountain and the reflected wings... Stunning.

Jeez, you are seriously improving so much so quickly. I love this, it's absolutely gorgeous. And I love reading about the characters you do manips for; they're all so intricate and really fascinating ahah.

Anywayy, back to the manip. The tones are wonderful and you've blended the background really well. The smudging looks superb and the wings in the uh.. not reflection? haha they look REALLY cool. Fabulous job on this.. I'm jealous! :D
