This is a big romantic commission for
Swandog and her husband
Sayh.
This illustration is very symbolic for them and draw for their anniversary. The picture depicts their characters: Osprey named Lett (
Sayh's char) and Albatross Rime (
Swandog's char). The story illustrates their favorite song "Islands" by Mike Oldfield. Below you can see the Maltese Islands, the place that they are adore both :3
Song you can listen to here, it is really wonderful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFVqtHBPcmY
Also the lyrics:
"Islands, from the first time we saw,
We could wait for this moment, like rocks on the shore.
We can never be closer, somehow;
For the moment that lasts, is this moment now...
When the night's on fire, will you keep the candlelight burning?
Hold on to your heart's desire;
When you see one bird, into the wind, another one's turning,
And the two can fly much higher...
We are islands, but never too far;
We are islands...
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight...
We are islands, but never too far;
We are islands...
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight...
Islands, never been to before,
And we climb so high, to where the wild birds soar.
There's a new path, that we found just today;
I was lost in the forest, and you showed me the way...
When the night's on fire, oh, will you keep the candlelight burning?
Hold on to your heart's desire;
When you see one bird, into the wind, another one's turning,
And the two can fly much higher...
We are islands, but never too far;
We are islands...
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight...
We are islands, but never too far;
We are islands...
And I need your light tonight,
And I need your light tonight..."

I am sorry I have not written a comment to this picture sooner. I wanted to wait until I had some time off and felt more relaxed, so I could give a better comment than "WOW! This was amazing!"
But, Wow! this was amazing! Absolutely stunning!
While my "main" character in the fandom is my panduck griffin, it is no secret that that character is more a "made for fun" type character that ended up so cute & silly, I sorta adopted him. But I really feel like a bird, and have always loved the beautiful ospreys, and had an osprey character for a long time, and decided to bring him back. I feel closer to him spiritually than I do panduck, and that for that reason, seeing artwork of him becomes very special.
This rendering of him is absolutely perfect, if is like you took a picture of what I dream of being when I am him. I have been lost in this image several times, just looking at different details. So many details! *OVO* Lost, not just in Lett, but also in the beauty of his albatross mate, Rime.
And then, there is the colours and the landscape. That blue! The way it colours our feathers.
The entire image is just so perfect, I can't really find words to describe it. Thank you for this wonderful artwork! I really hope we will be able to commission you again!

Lovely artwork and beautiful background setting with the islands depicted at night!
Of course, the characters illustrated in the commission are perfect together, completing their romantic flight in the night time sky and holding onto a shared illuminated fish. D'aaaaaw! Extremely romantic!

This is truly incredible; the sky and the light of the moon, those stars and this angle of the horizon. This reminds me of a dreamscape with the clarity of the stars shining so crisply. I can almost hear the wind rushing by as the only sound as they fly united so closely in an intricate dance celebrating something beautiful and intimate out far above the world.
