I really like the design, but I think it would work better if the wings looked more waxy, or were melting a bit, that would really set the Icarus theme off.

I agree with Chelly comment. This is just a reworking of another persons artwork, despite having used yourself as the model. Wonderful art just needs to be more...original?

I like this :o I'd place the clouds on the shoulder, and I do agree with making the wings more waxy.

this great - good technique, colors - very intellectual. But are you really bald? And that is how the Greek Gods looked - but please don't tell me that the equipment down below is as small as all those statues! $5

bald looks sweet, and fyi, the greeks though having a big "unit" was emberrassing.

it isnt about greek god stuff, it has Christian heritage. If the wings were waxy, they wouldnt look like wings and its too bad that some people think it is a remake. Its nice. (Whats the inspiration?)
phyllisa
phyllisa on Jan 01 '07
Gorgeous. It took me a little while to realise they were wings when i didnt look at the title, so maybe it wldnt hurt to make the connection of the wings just a tad more obvious (but still artistically so)? Anyhow, still gorgeous artwork.
Virum
Virum on Jan 01 '07
Gudanawiri, yes it is a Greek myth - story of Icarus. And for you people saying they need to be wazy, you need to review your mythology. He used real feathers and held them together with wax (and thread). When he flew too high, the bonds holding the feathers melted. So maybe add a few wax dribbles, but don't overdo it, the wings were mainly feathers.



The design is cool but I wouldn't buy it.

a little to bible-thumpy for me. it would be great if "you" were even pudgier. Chunky angels are always funny

katolms on Jan 03 '07
I thought this was a reprint too...way too close to a design already submitted.
Ostriche
Ostriche on Jan 03 '07
good design, but could use a more powerful sun, since it is the heat from the sun that melts the wax. otherwise, could be easily confused with the fall of Lucifer.
Dark Turtle
Dark Turtle on Jan 03 '07
Wonderful. I want it so bad. A stronger sun I agree with though.



And brettgroves...it's not an angel. It's not meant to be funny.

someone has to find the design that was previously submitted that looks EXACTLY like this... it's way to close... skip for now...
swintpoof
swintpoof on Jan 03 '07
have a little bit of wax dripping on the wings (probably especially around the part that would've been attached to him?) and maybe a few pieces of thread undone too so then its understood that the wax and string that held it together came undone

EXCELLENT job though

AudreyMyHeart
AudreyMyHeart on Jan 03 '07
Wow this is pretty. I'd 5 this one with 1 suggestion: Icarus doesn't look like he's plummeting 5000 feet into the ocean. He looks like he's laying down from a nap. This sounds like a lot of work but if you could redo the body to make it look like its actually falling then I think you've got a winner.
iggyputty
iggyputty on Jan 03 '07
It's beautiful but I think I like if the wings looked more like they were melting rather than falling off. I like the fallen angel look, but more melting effect, maybe have the wings still slightly connected?

its awesome 5$. only thing that i would want to see is this design in a deep red.
