to sing, besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in."

--Jon Foreman, from "The Blues"

I've been working on this for the last couple of days. I'm really quite proud of it as a whole, although I know there are a few anatomy issues. Especially Northwind's face. I couldn't get it to look quite right.

So, this is a new Northwind picture, because I needed one. Also, it's another submission to my own project.
It's based, not surprisingly, knowing me, off of another Switchfoot song. I absolutely love this band...
Anyway, the song is "The Blues" from the album "Nothing is Sound."
The song has a wonderful meaning, and a message I want to depict here. It basically says, to me, "Look at the world! Everything's going wrong. No one is happy, and we don't do a thing to change that. Why? Why? The status quo is not making the world a better place, so why don't we change it?"

And lol at the cheesy wolves in the bg. I got lazy toward the end...but to defend myself, they're supposed to be generic, just to kind of represent "the population."

Lastly, I'm sorry the file is so huge...I wanted it to fit my desktop.
