To Try Against the Sands of Time
By Geinkotsu

Standing here once again,
I remember where I had left my footprints then,
But all is smooth and all is clear,
like watching fade all progress and grow the fear,

Time and time again I am still looking to mark the changing pace,
Doing as much as I can before the ending day, like a condesending race,
But to come back the next morning only to restart the day,
Again and Again, no matter what you do or say.


A metephorical and literal drawing, neat. It was my first time drawing sand so forgive it's lack of prettiness. I would love some critique on this drawing if anyone could spare some.

As for the character, that is Zentoha, my new bender character. Sorry about the hair quality... I have trouble with black hair in terms of small drawings. Timer is accurate.


Oh gosh, a feature? Thankyou so much everyone that has commented, critiqued, or liked <3

you.are.amazing! only thing i have to critizise is that the sky usually gets lighter from top to bottom :D

here you see that quite well :)
and it's hard to see wether the left hand is with palm in sky-direction or sand-direction :P :D
I know it's just odds and ends but especailly the sky thing is important, i guess :mrgreen:

yet souls have a reason
and i won't let go
i pray for mourning
i swear i'll never let you die
these saints within us
can bring this moment back to life
and my heart's held high
with this battle cry
i'll march on
on the horizon
we will resurrect the sun

@~ThisIsTheFuture~ - The sky huh? *rubs chin* Sorry I actually didn't think of pulling up a refference to see if the sky was alright, I just assumed. As I have never really done background art before (your link is broken, by the way).

Also, I know the hands are hard to see exactly, but the left hand (his left) is palm up. Sorry if it's hard to see, you lose a lot of character detail when you draw them small. I'll probably repaint the sky though, make it less fuzzy and give the clouds more dimension.


@Frostdragon - Thank you very much~ I spent a lot of time on the sand, since it was sort of the primary focus. It's too bad I realized there was a scatter function on the brush way too late into detailing it. Ahah.


@The Hybrid - Well, I would not say it is perfect, but I am glad you think so!


Thankyou for all the comments you guys <3 It means a lot to me

I DO love that sand. 8D

and when the strife is fierce, the warfare long
steals on the ear the distant triumph song
and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong
alleluia, alleluia

for all the saints (hymn)
