Description

MASCHINELL @ TUMBLR

ARJUN
( arjun shila )
PRINCE OF THE SKY PEOPLE
60% machine
a fighter pilot in the old city, arjun was the quickest, the riskiest, and the bravest. when the glaze struck, he flew-- and when he landed, it was atop the tallest building he could find. when he looked down, what he saw was terrible-- everyone dying. looting stores for what would soon be unusable. corpses still moving. he stayed atop that building for quite some time and faded from all memory, including his own.
now, arjun leads the sky people. he has forgotten what he was and embraces only ha'tusik and the fateful prophecy that led them to where they are now. he is still the quickest, the riskiest, and the bravest and it serves him well as a leader.
edit: OH GOD MY SCANNER HAS A CRACK IN THE GLASS. RIGHT BY ARJUN'S BUTT. ><

I saw this on display at DragonCon and really fell in love with it. It was lovely to meet you there! (I was Angelic Shades on the end over by Jasmine Beckett-Griffith in the alley). I'm looking forward to keeping up with your work here. It's just plain gorgeous!

I feel like I've seen this before, my thoughts and inspiration have started racing; It has sparked nostalgia.
A masterpiece. Nothing short
also, the scanner's crack is but a sigh in an orchestral symphony
I didn't notice it at all. Too stunned by the vast majority of visual sensuality, to notice it.

This is one of those rare pieces that I feel compelled to comment on to show my appreciation, despite having nothing useful to say. But the moment I saw the thumbnail, I pretty much fell in love. Gorgeous work on this.
