Up With The Birds

featuredbirds

A work in progress. I’ve stopped here for now because the colouring is giving me too much crap.
To come later: the background I had in mind, more complete shading of the clothing, touchups for the faces.

(The sky is blue
Dreamed that lie till it’s true

Might have to go, where they don’t know my name
Float all over the world just to see her again
But I won’t show or feel any pain
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain

A simple plot
But I know one day
Good things are coming our way

Up With the Birds – Coldplay)

    Totally sweet arts yo. Girl on the left’s missing a right ear, it seems. Coloring’s awesome, textures are cool too.

    So elegant. How do two ladies decide who leads when dancing? Is it just whoever takes the initiative, or is there some social rules or agreed upon process involved? I guess the same applies to two gents who decide to dance.

    Thanks!

    I’m not sure if there’s a hard and fast rule. I suppose it’s whomever feels like leading, unless it’s a super proper affair. Then maybe there are rules.

    I dropped by a swing dance class recently, and I was put in a funny situation where I was made to lead even though I had only learned how to follow, and all the girls I danced with were confused and I was twice as confused.

    I don’t really have anything to say in reply to that, but I’m replying anyways because I love this animal captcha. First it was chicken eagle, and now horse rabbit! It’s like some kind of chimera inspiration device.

    I know right?! I’ve been plagued by spambots, and I was wondering if I should install a captcha plugin. Then I came across this animal captcha, advertised as protecting “your user registration and comments with a test of identifying two friendly animals (basic level)” and I simultaneously squee’d and geeked out and I installed it immediately.
