Walking in the Air
This was supposed to be a small sketch just for fun, but I decided to more than double its size to
8k x 6k pixels and turn it into a full illustration lol (I couldn’t help myself) o_o’
Also, I didn’t start this piece thinking about this song (bellow), but as I was finishing it, I remembered of Nightwish’s version and I realised that the lyrics totally fits the mood.
I also really like Aurora’s live version. You can find the video on Youtube. I highly recommend both versions. <3
“We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
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
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 trees
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
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
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly”
We’re floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly”
