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!

Well, it reminds me of something that happened to me, so that's why it made me want to cry XD But don't worry, I'll be fine! I'm still in too much awe at how beautiful it is to feel anything else

VERY cool...I love how even though it's in a very realistic style, you worked in certain more stylized elements like the way her hair curls. I think of your drawings, I'm coming to like the original characters the best.

Cataclysm-X In reply to Minstrel-Ayreon [2008-03-31 20:46:43 +0000 UTC]
Thank you!!! Yeah I've come to realize it's more fun & original to draw my own characters. I can design them any way I want without worrying about whether they look correct to the original designs (as with FanArt).
I'm glad you like my original work!!!

LOL, never thought about it thats quite amazing
Graag gedaan
Jaa, dat weet ik eigenlijk wel zielige dag om jarig te zijn he, zo het einde van december..
alle kadootjes int jaar krijg je dan in dezelfde maand, ik vind het persoonlijk moeilijk om dan te zeggen wat ik nou eigenlijk wil hebben voor me verjaardag.. ach ja. er is tenminste vuurwerk op je verjaardag

Cataclysm-X In reply to YaminaYugineAtema [2008-03-31 21:29:49 +0000 UTC]
yes Kamelot's the best! I've seen them live 4 times now
meet & greet included
Did you ever see them live?
Mwah ik vind het wel gezellig zo je hebt altijd vakantie als je jarig bent, het is een dag die niet moeilijk te onthouden is (hoewel echt heel veel mensen nog steeds vragen: '...wanneer was je ook alweer jarig?' ) en aangezien een verjaardag 24 uur duurt kan ik het in zowel het oude jaar als het nieuwe jaar vieren lol.
Wat kerst betreft heb je wel gelijk. Je kunt ook zeggen: laat mijn verjaardagscadeau maar zitten, ik wil gewoon een extra groot kerst cadeau
