Description
Note: I am quoting the lyrics of a song here. I did not come up with the lyrics. I thought it was obvious, but apparently it's not.Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel:
Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
---------------------------------------------------------------
I have little else to say. I reckoned this is how it looks behind the mask of those who have to uphold the faΓ§ade of happiness as part of their profession every night.
Drawn with a mouse.
It's pretty rough, but it didn't take me long. So yeah.

But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
Are the words that it was forming
And the sing said
"The words of the prophets
are wtitten on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
And whispered to the sound of silince.

Dear Celestia, how did you manage this with naught but a mouse? What program(s) did you use? Any tips on those who'd like to try their hand(or hoof if you'd prefer) at this?

Uhm, that one was done with nothing but GIMP. By now I moved on to use Photoshop, too. Photoshop is superior in almost every respect...
Other than that it's just a combination of the Ink Tool, a couple of layers and most importantly the Path Tool. I don't think I used much more than these tools for this piece.

S&G whooo, one of my favorite folk rock artists. Though this wasn't exactly their best song despite it being their most popular. Pic is excellent too; I'm loving the focus effect

Why, thank you.
I still like the song, though. ^_^

Right - it was in Watchmen. Interesting movie, that. Preferred the graphic novels, though. ^_^

Yeah, the novel was pretty good.

This is beautiful! I thought the glasses were real when I saw the preview image! The shading is just perfect, even Vinyl's reflection!

Very cool take on Vinyl Scratch; I'd never considered that perspective!

I thought the picture was quite awesome, and then I read the title and got the context of the song... now it's way beyond 20% cooler. Would you mind if I print this to give away at Meetups? Obviously for free, and all art credit back to you.

Thank You!
If you mark your deviations with a creative commons license (allowing people to share) it would make it easier for people to share your work (legally). Just a thought!

Anytime.
And I never figured I'd get popular enough for something like this. But I shall definitely consider it.

This is so heart wrenching
And this thought was terrifyingly depressing "I reckoned this is how it looks behind the mask of those who have to uphold the faΓ§ade of happiness". You hold so much truth in those words.
