Better Days Ahead

Description

'Cause I know that time has numbered my days,
And I'll go along with everything you say,
But I'll write home laughing, "Look at me now!",
For the walls of my town, they come crumbling down...

And my ears hear the call of my un-born sons,
And I know their choice color all I've done!
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son,
I never lived a year better spent in love...

'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice,
And I'll believe in grace and choice,
And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
But I'll be born without a mask...

Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride,
I stretched my arms into the sky,
I cry "Babel! Babel! Look at me now!",
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down...

You ask "Where will we stand in the winds that will howl?
"As all we see will slip into the cloud..."
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been,
You know our breath is weak and our body thin!

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart...
I should've known I was weaker from the start...
You'll build your walls, and I will play my part,
To tear... tear them down...
Well I'm gonna tear... tear them down!

'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice,
And I'll believe in grace and choice!
And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
But I'll be born without a mask...!


Is this what improvement feels like...? ;u; I hate to sound arrogant, but feel like I'm getting better at Paint.NET.
Where on Earth this title came from is a mystery. But apparently Alun is scared of the sun now. xD
I actually just wanted to work on wolf anatomy/expressions, and this wasn't even going to be Alun, but I miss drawing him. <3

My first critique, so don't go crazy if it's horrible. Anyways, the way you drew Alun's expression and pose is nice. I like how you drew his back, and the fur. However, Alun's shadow doesn't look realistic to me, maybe make the shadow with a ear? The ear seems to stick out, and maybe put like fur edges on the shadow to match Alun's fur. Also, I would make the horizon line clear, the sun looks like a sand dune. If you'd like, you could add texture to enhance the ground with some texture, to look realistic. Altogether, a great piece of work. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
