There's something at once ominous and beautiful about this piece. It's an interesting contrast given the obvious ship-girl theme of the piece and yet despite the rather silly subject matter the impact of the piece as a whole is not at all dampened.Between the subdued colors used and the character's seemingly gentle resignation with her eagle companion as storm clouds gather on the horizon it all speaks to a great tension building up that is set to be released to shatter the tranquility before the storm. The subtlety of that feeling is quite impressively conveyed in a manner that isn't always successfully executed by many artists when attempting to build up the sense of ominous foreboding but it is quite well executed here.
