Description
'My heart drenched with tears,I did not wish to hear
All the harmfull words
You used to say to me.
Never did I dare to believe
I couldn't hear
all the bad things
nor the good things
They used to say.
Who can save me
I beg you
Sing me the hymn of love
the anthem of life.
Let me hear you again...'
---------------------------------
You can consider it as a self portrait. Or well... sort of (;
I'm not blond, for instance...
Melody is my most beloved character. Maybe because she reflects to who I am, or who I used to be...
I didn't use a single reference image, except for a picture of myself, so I could give her some features of mine.
It doesn't look completely like me, just parts of it.
Exactly what I had in mind.
---------------------------------
Want to know a bit about her story?
Melody, an ancient creature and distant relative of Nora , has the gift to heal people with her sacred voice.
However, her heart got broken by someone she held dear, to whom she had given her heart to.
It's her curse to live without sound, as well as her voice, until the one with a pure voice will sing her ancient melody.
The only melody that can give her hearing back.
The hymn of love that is long forgotten... Is there still anyone who remembers this song?
---------------------------------
There are several symbols hidden in this portrait, such as:
You probably can find more. It's up to you to discover them...!
---------------------------------
I want to dedicate this to my light in the days of darkness,
*scott2753
Thank you for always being there for me!!!

Dedicated to friend, talented artist and muse,

Her gorgeous artworks inspired me to draw something original again!

zijn toch 4 krullen? Of ja... golven
maar je kunt het inderdaad ook als 5 krullen zien, 4 sterke en 1 zwakke.

The whole idea of tear stains is great. You see different types of tear-drops on different artworks, but this one is very subtle. Very nice.
And I love how her hair curls around other small pieces. Adorable piece.

Cataclysm-X In reply to twilitshadow [2008-03-31 20:40:38 +0000 UTC]
Thank you!!!!
Yeah I wanted the tears to be visible, but not there. It's obvious she's still sad about some things that happened to her.

twilitshadow In reply to Cataclysm-X [2008-03-31 21:58:07 +0000 UTC]
You can definately see that, especially in her eyes. It would've been a totally different effect if the tears were just rolling down her face.
This sort of shows that she can get over the hard times, put up a fight, you know?
And you're welcome!
