Absolutely love it! I think this might be my new favourite of yours.
Thank you so much! This is the best picture I’ve drawn and I’m super proud of it.
this one hit different
“Now cover yourself in wax and wait for me on the balcony”
Hahaha!
Painstakingly detailed btw, kudos to your patience and diligence, and I love the perspective
Dark, and extremely clever with the sun at the very center, casting father and son into shadow
Thank you! Most depictions of this story show the flight and fall. I thought it would be interesting to show the quiet moment before disaster. I’m happy with how it came out!

Plus - you have now mastered the art of drawing of feathers

Con - you now hate visceral hate of drawing the feathers

Anyway, great picture!

Feathered things I won’t be drawing for a while: penguins, parrots, pigeons, improvised flying escape machines, parakeets…
…Biblically accurate angels…
Very evocative scene! Lovw the composition and the perspective looks awesome :)
Stunning composition, I can’t stop looking at it. What an achingly human story you’ve told here.
What a wonderful thing to read – thank you so much!
