Description
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free."
lyrics by Lennon/McCartney

I was thinking Swan Lake. Didn't think of the lyrics until it was rendering, but they fit eerily well.
Wings are from the Daz Songbird with body invisible. Mats by Gurrea (altered). Wall unit made in Amapi. 68 radial lights

"You were only waiting for this moment to be free." - Lyric - beatiful - congratulations - great work - Leo Falk from Brasil
Very nice work! The lighting, textures and concept all fit together perfectly!
One of your best IMO. Artistic as hell!
Very original and creative,the outcome is awesome.vote.
Fantastic...especially like the poses of the figures...very creative and classical at the same time. Vote
That really works it!!! Inreadible sense of separation between the two characters...
Just beautiful, and those lyrics work perfectly.
Love everything about this one, Dave. This is one of my favorites of yours. The mottle finish was a perfect choice...and of course "Blackbird" does fit better than "Swan Lake". I mark this one a Masterpiece! Thanks for sharing! (I'm curious about the 68 lights, also)
brillant image ! singing the song now, vote vote
your range as an artist always yields something creative and marvelous to behold. this is no exception, Dave. I am forever in awe of your skills and ingenuity.
Thanks you Everyone. I appreciate the nice comments. As far as the lights. I made a light array in the shape of a quarter sphere. It ended up with 66 lights. All small radials, set to "1" and a very light gray in color. This one had shadows turned on, hence the softness. It sits above and slightly to the right of center and stretches about as wide as the image. 2 other radials are in front of each character set to "ranged" at 22 in distance, 5 in intensity
damn dave... this is most outstanding work !! v
