Very cool! I love the background you used and the shadowy form of Icarus...awesome job with this! I love manipulations but can never seem to do cool ones myself. Lol. I envy you! Keep up the good work!

Brilliant piece. I love it. In particular the textures and the color hues. The subtle lighting is working out great and Icarus is depicted in a very expressive way. I'd give my right arm to be as creative as you. ;)

This is very good in all facets...color, composition, technique, subject, etc. Very nice post.

What I think? Seriously underrated. This is a beautifully dark take on the story. I love the stained background and that you let just enough of the important details come through on the face and sword. Great job with the disintegrating wings

as soon as i saw the wrok in progress the icuras comparrison leaped out at me! its a great fusion of your manipulation skills and a a high art style approach! big up the AVI massive!
