Description To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell...

This is my submission for
The song that I choose was Fireflies by Owl City

If you want to hear the song: [link]

Story: So it's basically it's as you see it. Our boy there doesn't want to let one of his faeries go because they have become friends. ^^

EDIT: It was bothering me too much that half his body was gone so I decided to fix it up in Paint, hopefully he isn't too skinny but...at least it looks better XD;

Entire song lyrics:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
[ From: [link] ]
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

The glow effects are awesome. OwO

I love how everyone else is interpreting this. I know he's sad and being comforted, but my mind works differently. I still say he wants a kiss and she's like "Dude, do not want! *pushes his face*"

XD haha yeah I used a blur tool to do the brush and then changed the color to white and used a little smaller brush :3 I thought it was a good touch~

Nice job on this picture, though I wish you'd have added more of the man's toso, or filled in something. Having it cut off like that seems a little ... out of place. Everything else is great though. Also ...

"But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar"

Do you always do that to tinies you come across?
