We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I´m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We’re surfing in the air
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
I´m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
We’re walking in the air
We’re walking in the air

This is so incredibly beautiful! The way you have us together is just perfect and wow, I'm just speechless. I stared at this for a good while before finally gathering enough of my senses to type! I adore the background and the song is very fitting (I do like Nightwish too). The entwined hands and nose touching is just so sweet. I showed this right away to Draogh as well and he loves it. Thank you so much again!!
Gah how did I miss your comment? *scratches head* Here I was waiting for you to reply and it seems you did so and I missed it. Ah well, hehe, glad you like it, I hope I was accurate with all the markings and colors, it took me a while to get them as close as I could to the ref sheets. I had to mix several colors to get some of those shades just right, but it seems the result justified the means. :D Thanks again for the commission, I'm happy you both are pleased with it. :)
Haha, no worries! I tend to sometimes do that with comments too. And the markings are accurate! They're pretty complex, especially on Draogh, so I don't expect exact replicas (even I can't sometimes... XD) so some changes here and there are fine. You did an excellent job! And you're welcome!
I really love the newer stuff, particularly the tracks "Last of the Wilds" and "Meadows of Heaven". I know they caught a lot of flack when they switched singers, and a lot of the fans really didn't want to like the new girl, but I like her a lot, I like the direction their music has taken. I love putting on Nightwish when I'm working on artwork, its perfect for fantasy art. :D Sometimes I sing along, hehe.
I like Tarja and Anette pretty equally. Neither is 'better', just different.
'Last of the Wilds' makes me want to get a set of Uilleann pipes SO BADLY!!! I already play a mess of weird instruments, and a set of Uilleann's would fit right in. And I love playing guitar to that whole album!
