Description "God forgive me for I am the darkness from within..."

This took so long, but I got passed my art block 19 different attempts at outling and 5 different tries at colouring till I finally decided on one. Mostly done in Open Canvas, the text added in Photoshop 7.0 This has got to be the hardest thing I've ever had to complete, just because of the art lock and how annoyed I was but it was worth pulling it off.

Big personal peice her, the traditional Selene peice, dark and sad, beautiful yet something's hidden. I spent time thinking about how to complete this, since there are some flaws and I tried my best to correct them, I really hope you all enjoy this. It was a pain to create but in the end it turned out to be a beautiful peice and I was listening to Over My Head (Cable Car) by The Frey which heavily inspired the mood.

I highly reccomend this song and these are the lyrics.

Over My Head (Cable Car)
The Frey
-----
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
You find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind

Everone knows I'm in
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Selene from Underworld? Nope, but was kinda inspired by that movie to do this peice, that's why it's pretty dark ^^ I tried to kinda make it look like me but yeah lol it fell away. But, I'm glad I've captured what I wanted to, the emotion.

this is a beautiful drawing. and just looking at it and the title i can totally see the meaning of it. i really get how selene represents parts of you, i think, and you potrayed it very well in this drawing. it's simple, but really really complex emotionally.

I have to work on drawing my wolves and dragons. When I've mastered them I'll move on to gryphons, they will be ultra hard to draw but I'll give it a go.

This is one of THE best pieces i've ever seen! This is absolutely stunning! The religious implications (at least those triggered in my mind) make this so much more special than just a normal dark picture! I absolutely love this.

Wonderful job on this... The emotion is just so incredible. I also love the lineart and the coloring and lighting. I love how your fursona just blends in with the darkness, but you can see her eyes. Oh the mist is just so awesome... Really adds to this. Beautiful job hun.
