Well, I bet no one expected me to be back with a fanart such as this.

It's Fai and his kudan (guardian spirit) from CLAMP's awesome manga Tsubasa (Reservoir) Chronicle!! Yes, you're facing a crazed fangirl here.
It started off as a random Fai pic. I just wanted to finally do a descent fanart of him *has failed many times*, and when I was done with his face, I really couldn't decide how to draw the rest....xD or what clothes to put on him. Well, those of you who are familiar with the series, might know which illustration helped me to decide. ;D btw, I love the fact that he's wearing a bandana. o_o and huge birdie there has actually 4 wings (but only one fitted here xD). And this is the same bird spirit that protected Fuu all through the story of Magic Knight Rayearth (note: another CLAMP work. In Tsubasa CLAMP made several crossovers with their earlier works).
Title was obviously taken from the opening theme for the Tsubasa movie, "Aerial" by KINYA. Imma post lyrics, unfortunately I couldn't find them in english... :/


Sakamaku jikuu wo koete
Mada minu daichi wo samayou
Anata no egaku tsuyosade
Toki wo kirisaite...

Kasosuru yami no hayasani nomareru kagerou
Seijaku ni ayatsurareru ochiteyuku
Kasukani torimodoshiteku ishiki no naka de
Nakusu koto wo osorete kimi wo dakishimeta

Midareru jigen
Youen naru gikyoku
Shunkan wo eien ni hibikaseru kaze

Sakamaku fuukan wo koete
Mada minu shinjitsu he mukau
Kako ni ha mou towarenai
Ima wo mitsumeteru
Itsuka ha tadoritsuku darou
Mirai ga hakanai mono demo
Anata no egaku tsuyosade
Sora wo kirisaite...

Itazura ni kumo wo makikomu hikutsu na taiyou
Kawaki wo uruosu ame ni tachitomaru
Kogoeta shizuku wo shinogu hosoi yubisaki
Guuzen fureta sono te ha atatakai

Umareru kiseki
Ugokidasu unmei
Asu wo jiyuu ni habatakeru hane

Sakamaku jikuu wo koete
Itsuwari no ai ni tomadou
Anata ga omou tsuyosade
Uso wo kirisaide...

Sakamaku jikuu no naka de
Kokoro ni tozasareta himitsu
Anata no egaku tsuyosa ga
Sora wo terashidasu...

Sakamaku ai wo koete
Mada minu shinjitsu he mukau
Kako ni ha mou towarenai
Ima wo akidasu
Itsuka ha tadoritsuku darou
Mirai ga hakanai mono demo
Toki no sora ni egaku tsuyosade
Kimi wo hanasanai


Btw, I think the movie was beautifully done, and the jokes between Fai and Kurogane in the pool, although few, but were priceless. <3 But the movie was WAY TOO SHORT. I mean what, half an hour? e_e argh. The story was rushed too....*cri*

Anyhow, this is my 3rd digitally painted artwork (yes, 3rd. I'm not posting the 2nd one for personal reasons ). Fully done in Painter 9 + text added in Adobe. Wah, it's so fun to work with a tablet! Seriously, I'm totally getting the hang of it!

I really hope to be doing more Tsubasa fanart in the near future! n_n hope this one is to your liking~
