You're welcome !
Imho, you destilled the essence of what you've said in the description into visual form; the act of giving a simple thought wings, to make it fly is always a daunting task, almost frightening at first.
(Like it is said: "There's no greater fear for an artist than a blank page.")
I really like the transition throughout the series:
Starting with the rough idea, unpolished and uncut, still trapped inside the proverbial ore veins of the mind to the finished piece at the end, taking to the skies.
Another thing that caught my interest is the way the tool is handled:
While it's a brush in every panel, it's first used like a pickaxe to break the idea from the bedrock at first, changes into a carving knife in the second and finally becomes it's delicate self in the final panel.
It's a wonderful analogy to the effort necessary in each phase of the process - by handling the brush a different way in each panel, you've conveyed the impression of it being a different tool at each step.
Like you said yourself, the element of flight is present in each panel - like the brush, it's one of the three major elements making up the thing and the whole of the thing: The artist, his tool and the creative spark.
Very well done - I wish you all the best for the contest and I'll gladly witness your future works !
(Btw: I can't help the feeling that this melody perfectly fits the overall idea of the picture: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyKceK…

The music complements the piece so well! I really appreciate you sharing the song with me - I'm a big fan of Lindsey Stirling. She's so talented!
Your insight and feedback is on point - you encapsulated in words what I tried to share with my pen. Thank you so much for that, it's refreshing to know my work is understood.

Have you ever considered writing?
just a suggestion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The idea of writing did cross my mind, but I never really considered to make something more of it.
Thing is, while I can be quite handy with words when given the right "spark", something that gets me thinking.
I'm not very good at putting together cohesive stories, though.
Putting a train of thought into text or describing an emotional situation by allegories etc. is what I can do (see many of my over-sized dA comments for reference 
But since I tend to be quite elaborate once I get started I'm and rarely get feedback on my thoughts, I'm under the impression that people percive my words as babble.
Anyhow, your comment is much appreciated, I'll take it as a compliment
Thanks again !

You're free to spark up on the stuff in my gallery, I always reply; I'm an amateur thinker/writer myself, so I guess it takes one to know one.

Es ist mir ein Vergnügen
Besonders gut gefallen mir "Girl with the Scorpio Tattoo " und "Hollow drawn "
Ich selbst habe erst vor kurzem (ca 1 Jahr) angefangen zu zeichnen, aber es sind schon gewisse Fortschritte zu erkennen
Bleistiftzeichnungen und -sketches wie die deinen sind mir ein große Hilfe.
*****
It's my pleasure
I especially like "Girl with the Scorpio Tattoo " and "Hollow drawn " 
Such simpicistic pencil sketches and portraits are right up my alley.
I picked up drawing only recently (about 1yr ago) but I've already mad progress since then
Pencildrawings and -sketchings like yours are really helpful for improving my own skills

Das freut mich sehr - als ich wieder angefangen habe hätte ich nie geglaubt, dass jemand mögen könnte, was ich tue - seitdem sind wohl so rund 7 Jahre vergangen. Einfach dran bleiben und nicht vergessen Spaß dabei zu haben.

I am so happy for your reply - when I started I would have never believed somebody could like what I am doing - now I am at it for about 7 years. Just stick with it and never forget to have fun.
