I've found myself becoming more and more creatively inspired by music. Writing, art, whatever. This pic of Maurice was inspired by "Sail Away" by The Rasmus.

Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, the twilight is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away

No reason to lie
No need to pretend
I'm grateful to die
To live once again
I'm fearless to fly
And reach for the end
And reach for the end


Now, anyone who knows Maurice's story knows how well those lyrics fit him.

Anywho, experimenting a lot. First serious piece in a long time. Still can't do BGs and I'm too chicken to attempt anything more than this. XD

And can anyone tell me how to make it not look all gross and pixely?

Great work.

Pngs will probably help. :) They keep it from going pixley. ^^

Ohh, Maurice my love~

I like this a lot. c:
The rain looks pretty--and he looks like he's actually being rained on, too.
The wings are lovely as well.

Wow, he's pretty! And this piece is so dreary-but I love it!

I wanna give him a hug. :(

"Oooh, ooooooooo~ Salen, you look angry~!" Kari chirped, cheerfully.

Salen blinked, "It... It is nothing." He said, pointedly ignoring the huge dent in the cargo hold wall.

"Damn. I...damn," said Adrian, eyeing the dent made with solely a fist.
:iconinstantoatmeal13:
Aww...Maurice would love that! Unlike many of my other characters, he's very fond of affection. Despite this picture, he's usually a bundle of smiles! He's just barely under the "obnoxiously happy" point.

...he's just got a tragic, angsty life story. XD

I think he looks adorable! :XD: I'd love to know more about him--any chance of him showing up in the rp when we continue?
