Description
They made a statue of usAnd it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun
They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
"Us" by Regina Spektor.
Probably not the correct theme but it was all that I could think about when drawing this picture.
These two are Jadrien and Ury from my story "Human Eyes" and it's counterpart "Angel Eyes". They are lovers.
Here are some other pics of them --->[link] [link]
I drew this as a birthday gift for one of my best friends, Sanzo. It's late but she loves these two to death and I'm sure will love the pic.
Something does seem a bit off about it. I wasn't trying to make the pose abide by the laws of gravity. It was actually supposed to be a simple sketch but then the pose turned into something of a dance between the two. oops.
Tools: blue lead mech pencil, copic markers, outliners, prisma pens, gel pens and small editing in pscs3.
Jadrien, Ury, story and pic Β©ERW (me)
However this pic is now owned by Sanzo

They look so cute and so clearly in love And I love that it looks like the red head is twirling the 'blond' - it all adds to the light and cheery and in-love atmosphere you have going on. The expressions are utter win - especially the 'blond', all blushing
I just love it. This whole pic just melts my heart
And I see you've kept up with the details They're gorgeous. All the patterns (pants, scarf, striped shirt) are dizzying and the amount of details in mind-bogging. The chains, belts, design on the shirt - and I see you sneaked in another studded belt <3
I love the shadings (mainly the jacket and the boots) and especially the 'blond' ones hair. It's lovely
...This is so going into my favourites
