Icarus himself looks like he is made out of wax, but that may be just same color for skin and wax or lack of shading. Either way, looks tragic in theatre way, as it should.
Ides of March day 1: Icarus
Share
As he flew closer to the all-seeing Helios, the wax in his wings began to melt, and Icarus' flight came to a tragic end (not a quote, but close enough).
Day 1 of the self-imposed Ides of March challenge, and we're starting off with a very popular myth's protagonist. The mortal who flew too close to the sun! I hope the age rating on this piece of art isn't too restrictive, these Greeks really liked being naked when posing for sculptures.
If you like this illustration, please stick around! There are 14 more of them to go during this month, and my goal is to post one every day.
Go to my Ko-fi to see the sketch layer too.

Thanks for the rating! The use of a single color for a character is intentional as vases did not have shading (and also I don't like shading), but it might change. You may notice that the sun in the background has a slightly darker shade so I'll definitely experiment with that moving forward.
