Artist's Comments

My piece for the upcoming music portfolio, Symphonies in Fur Minor, which will be available at AnthroCon 2006 and you can check out here: [link]

My song was "Defying Gravity", from the Broadway play, Wicked. Here's some of the lyrics that particularly inspired this piece...


So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

So, this one's dedicated to all of you who stand up for what you believe in, and are wiling to take that leap, no matter how many obstacles might come your way. Here's to defying gravity! :)

If you try to forget about the huge watermarks and pretend they're not there, 'Defying Gravity' by ~Autumn-Sunrise features an amazing and unique pose, but also a beautiful background. We are not only featuring a picture here, but also a feeling: If you also check and read the picture description and the lyrics there, you will understand the picture better, and will like it even more. Take your time, stare at the picture, use your own imagination, and let your mind fly away, defying gravity too.... (Suggested by ~knight-owl and Featured by `skifi)

Beautifully done!! The clouds' lighting is fantastic, as well as the way the wolf's head is turned to face forward.

And I'm a HUGE fan of Wicked :D

Absolutely beautiful :) The colours compliment each other amazingly well, and the characters expression just adds to the wonderful calm effect of the picture. Very nicely done, I think it's wonderful <3
