To escape Crete, Daedalus the Inventor built wings for himself and his son Icarus, warning him that the wax that held the feathers together would melt if he flew too close to the sun.
Flying, Icarus became more confident, and more confident, and flew higher, and the sun did indeed melt the wax, the wings disintegrated, and he plunged to his death into the sea.

i'd have done the same.


the wings are from shadavar-stock, while the clouds are a blend of images from llamaface and delenstock, the shore is from fluorfnax, the feathers are a PS brush from greenspoon. thanks.
