Goodbye, Yellow-Brick Road

Description

"So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road"


--"Goodbye, Yellow-Brick Road"; Elton John

Once again, the anatomy is off. I suck at skeletons. But I like it this way!

Here's an avatar of something I'd rather keep to myself. He/She/It is called "The Yellow-Brick Road", and really isn't a road at all, but hey. I don't choose what's the proper name for these, they choose themselves.

Song confusion? Seems like it, as "Fly Me To the Moon" is a Sinatra song and the title of this references an Elton John song, but trust me. There's logic to this madness after all!

"Fly Me to the Moon" is a personal song for me, and it had a lot to do with the reasons I drew this picture. And "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John kept playing and playing for whatever reason in my head, so it seemed appropriate.

Hidden imagery? You bet. And even when you think you know what you're seeing, I can tell you that blatancy is not my goal here.

Tried a different inking dealio here. A friend of mine offered me a sharpie so I did some things with that and added a tad of pen shading. S'okay, methinks.
