Description I've got time to think about the beauty of a thousand variations
Of the beating of a wing
Of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of the world
Moving slower than molasses
As I’m off to catch the girl
Who is falling off the bridge

Totally taken from the lyrics of "The Ballad of Barry Allen" by Jim's Big Ego

I find it fascinating how speedsters have a different perception of time, and 'experience each second to the fullest.' Makes for interesting thinking material. Like, days and days of thinking on the subject and still finding it interesting

I have like infinite love for "The Ballad of Barry Allen." To the point where it has been both my alarm and my ringtone at some point in time.Ā

I know that feeling. I still use it as my ringtone, tho it'd be quite ineffective as an alarm. I rather tend to drift away to it into a dreamlike state full of flowing lightning, hummingbirds and speedsters

Yeah, but in the 'my time takes much longer than yours' sense. Comes in handy if you need to do some last minure homework xD Man, I'm jealous.

Cuz why would you be? xD And thanks!
Notice there's no lineart? Was surprisingly easier to make than I thought it'd be

yes, I see, I see you'd be surprised how easy it is without lineart xD linearts can be very time consuming.. *sigh* (that's why I often just colour my pencil sketches xD )

I actually made the lineart, but then deleted it later on xD I need my lineart so I can color with the magic wand tool, otherwise it takes too much time in my opinion

ever tried locking the layers? I find it very helpful
(oh, well, everyone does it their own way I guess whatever floats your goat )

Yeah, but first I gotta put a base color there, and I do that with the help of a lineart
(right you are)

Love his pose and the bird look great! Just one thing, his left leg is too long, which makes it look a bit weird. But the rest look awesome!

You're right, thanks for noticing - fixed now! ^_^ I posted the pic at 4am so I was rushing it a bit
The bird was fun to make, btw, especially since it sort of has Robin's colors

Yup, look much better now. Love the flower too, btw.
