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

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:

@~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
