If You Want To Be Free Be Free

<sup>Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
you see ah ah ah
its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are

*grin* I actually have a half of a trade done and uploaded in a decent amount of time this time.XD

Here is *Firefeet's Swallow, who is normally depicted as a stocky, awkward filly who's self conscious and more than a little unsure of herself.

But, she's honestly the one character of Feet's that no matter how much I tried and tried, I couldn't get that stocky, awkward appearance-- so I chose to go for graceful instead. Because she's a beautiful character, even if it will be some time before she fills into her grace and prettiness, whether she ever does realize that she is good looking-- despite the extra fluff and muted colours.^^

So, in the meantime, pretend this is like, years and years later from her current appearance, eh?*grin*


Whoot Glowies! XD I'm not sure if their fireflies, or some other glowing phenomenon (Hey, maybe the Vale was invaded by glowing Pandora insects/seeds/glowies, lmao) but I think their pretty, lol.


I had tonnes of fun making this, especially shading Swallow. I usually do everything in greyscale, which, with my photoshop, means you don't get much depth of colour and funky hues with the shading, so I opted to shade this entirely using various colours, which was a blast!

I hope you like it Firefeet!
