Description This was a sad, sad attempt at making a full-blown lineless painting in OpenCanvas 1.1. I absolutely FAILED with the background... it's painfully obvious that I am inexperienced with backgrounds. Ugh.

I've learned my lesson, I shall never do it again.


This picture was inspired by Silver's theme, "Dreams of Absolution". Mmyep...


(Note: Lyrics may be a bit iffy. I think they're fan-written, and the song itself is actually kinda hard to understand at certain parts)

"(And every night, I lay awake)
(I find my reflection)

(And every night, it just stays the same)
(I dream of absolution)

In the night-light, do you see what you dream
All your troubles, are they all what they seem

Look around you, then you may realize
All the creatures saw with the light

And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past

Only you know if you’ll be together
Only you know if we shall last

(In the night-light)

In the night-light, do you still feel your pain
Or the valor you wait in novacaine
If you were able, would you go change the past
There's a furball with one last chance

And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past

Only you know if you'll be together
Tonight

’Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
’Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution

’Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

(In the night-light)

In the night-light, do you see what you dream
All your triumph and all you'll ever be

Look around you, then you may realize
Happiness lies trapped in misery

And who knows what of our future
We can all try to change the past

Only you know if you'll be together
Tonight

’Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
’Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution

’Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

[Instrumental]

’Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
’Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution

’Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

And you'll see (And you’ll see)

What you'll be (What you’ll be)

And you'll see

All you can (All you can)

And every night (And every night)
And every night (And every night)
And every night (And every night)
I will dream (I will dream)

And you'll see (And you’ll see)
That this is my dream (What you’ll be)
And you'll see
Every night
I will always dream (‘Cause every night)

And every night
And every night
I will dream (I will dream)"
-Dreams of an Absolution [Theme of SILVER], Lee Brotherton

Hey, you shouldn't give up if you fail -you should try again until you master what's hard!

C'mon, a few months of practice and this would be what you're best at! ^^
Don't give up, it's a great picture!

wow, great piccue, i love the colouring, unfortunatley i'm another of those dirty minded people so lol,

the pose is great, and the linelessness looks amazing, and don't give up on BGs, as a starter Bg this looks great....but i thought the song sounds like early 90s techno and rave music from the uk (the artist is from the uk...so that might explain it!

great image, and i love the colouring!!

Yar, someone else has beaten me to it. XD I also have a wip pic inspired by that song which I've just about worn out... but it involves the split environment thing too. lol Composition of the pic is completely different though. But this one is just as cool. 8D Sad he's left with just a mattress to sleep on and barren room to live in. D': *hugs him* Pretty good attempt at the lineless painting, it is a difficult thing to do. With practice though you'll get better. (: Keep it up!

I'd actually love to see the one you're working on, too ~ I'm sure it's much better than this piece of crap. xD

Thanks, as well! I appreciate your comment.

Very good! ^_^ I dunno if I'd even attempt to paint something digitally.

That's probably the most accurate version of those lyrics I've seen. I've been trying to figure out some of the lyrics and I can tell most of the lines are right. The one I know is wrong (and is wrong in every version I've seen so far) is that "There's a furball with one last chance" line ^^ I'm positive that line is "Mend the faux pas with one last chance."

Nice! lol, Silver's legs look a bit too long O_o
And what do you mean you can't do backgrounds? They're AWESOME!
And LOL at Silver's quills touching the floor. Must be annoying every time the poor guy sleeps XD

have you heard his song in real life from the game?? what does it sound like? I can see an 80's singer with litle techno in the backround ><

BlizzardWolf In reply to segagirl [2006-12-06 22:32:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I've beaten the entire game... the song plays at the end of Silver's story. ; It does an 80's-ish feel to it. Think of the song "One More Time" by Daft Punk; it sounds a LOT like that.

What's Silver thinking of, hmmm?

"There's a hole in my ceiling, and Rouge is upstairs getting changed...." *shot*

This is pretty cool, the background isn't as terrible as you say. I like the painting hanging on the wall above him.
