Illustration Friday - Electricity


For the prompt electricity, I created an electric acrobat. Here is a close up of the acrobat.
I created this piece from imagination. After I drew it, the acrobat reminded me of a Replicant in the movie Blade Runner. Here is my favorite quote from the movie:

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die. [Roy Batty, a Replicant in Blade Runner]

Are the Battlestar Galactica Cylons related to Replicants?

I enlarged your 'close-up' to get a better look at your wonderful technique. Such atmosphere; real magic.

This is a really interesting interpretation! Love the luminous effect. And that quote from Blade Runner has to be one of my favourite speeches in any film.

At first glance I thought it was Tinkerbell :)

Awesome work! And yeah, are the Cylons related to the replicants? Ponderous stuff. :)
