High Tides

Postby King of Crows » Thu Feb 02, 2012 8:31 am

The moon rises high tonight,
It's belly round and full.
And she sings her night time song,
She sighs the tides a lull.
Her quiet whispers,
at the waves they pull.
And her bitter sweet harmonies,
drag me from my slumber,
I rise above the chattering waves,
blink open sleepy eyes,
and smile at the thought,
that she makes all of us rise.


This is Cobalt...he took 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete. I really, really hope you guys think that this belongs here. Mods, if this isn't quite intermediate, could you please send it over to beginners...however, leave it here if it is good enough, please.

Just bumping this up a bit...this is probably one of my best done Oekaki pieces so far...it would mean a lot to me if I could a bit of feed back, some critiques, and advice you may have to offer...all appreciated :)


Thanks,
Mercury

I haven't got much crit, except for maybe make the sea waves seem more realistic? But I still love it to bits! *Like*

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone

Thank you so much! At first I was a little uncertain about the eye color...but I like how the orange pops out :)

finally, a piece of art that { at least what i think } shows mermaids don't wear seashell bras and have long flowing hair, have perfect faces with normal human skin and ears, and don't all... um... no more rants about the little mermaid.


but great job <3 maybe i'll make a mermaid now.... hehehe

Lol, Cobalt isn't a merman :) He's a close relative...he actually has legs, Mers have many more fins, and lack lips (making up for it in sharp teeth!) Haha, yeah, what I think mers look like is SO different from the Little Mermaid...
