Description
yep. finished this at last.
First one for the album project. [link]
(mine's the Matches: Decomposer)
Also, you may find it interesting to view this: [link]
Drawn to the same song, with the same character, almost a year ago to date. My style has changed quite a lot in that little time... and so has Nilla, I suppose. I hope for the better.
Also, if you're wondering what on earth the TVs have to do with this song and didn't see me link to this in my previous picture, I reccommend that you watch this:
[link]
Salty Eyes by the Matches.
Do you belong to a song?
Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs?
Are you drunk?
Have you been drinking?
Do you below the overpass go with a fifth in your fist
reminiscing the kiss of a love that just didn't love as much as you did?
Please don't give up, dear walls
don't let the ceiling fall
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.
Shrill notes begin, the grim violin
then from the silence a violence of sirens orchestrate the score
to which one more corpse is left quiet
How we become the hollows of drums
the rests between notes, the hollers that never reach throats
"friends" in quotes, they're not calling
Please don't give up, dear you
I'm but the sliver moon sliding through
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.
Do please believe, however naive
let it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs
and belong, salty eyes
When you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.
It's been great wasting my efforts on you for the past 7 months. I bet she's amazing, better than I ever was. :]
It's all right though. At least I used this as fuel to create something. Emotion is great for artistic motivation.
right, media:
faber castell india ink pens, a little markers, a LOT of watercolor... on regular typing paper, which is REALLY annoying to watercolor on, a little white acrylic. And the moon is cut out of this music notes fabric I have and glued on. The paper kinda got torn there too... ooops. haah.
summary: TYPING PAPER= BAD IDEA.
oh, also, the lavender area in the background was put in in photoshop to make the white area less boring.
oh, and download for fullsize pleeeeeeeeeaase. :]

okay, so I know this isn't exactly about the amazing picture above this comment, but where do you find Faber Castell markers?
I can't find them anywhere, and I've been wanting to try them out for a while.
NOW, for the praise on this amazing peice of art.
This is amazing. I LOVE the moon, and the lineart, and everything in it. I can't explain it.

You can get them at most art stores I think. They come in these nice little packs of four, with small, fine, medium and bold. I LOVE THEM. <3
And thank you muchhh :]

There are way too many things that I love about this picture.
CAN'T TAKE IT
Also, thank you for providing the link to the video! I really liked it; it was creative in both style and budget.
And then you hit us with this. This beautiful creation with your classic, trademark style of angular spirals and stars and apathetic yet emotional animal creatures and honestly I'm just happy to keep looking at it. Unfortunately, my "new deviations" messages are loading up so I needed to go through and comment on the pieces I've wanted to go into further detail with.

It's a really great video. And of course, they had to shoot it all on one trial (repairing all those TVs would be pretty expensive) so that just makes it all even more amazing. :]
Thank you SO much. <333

Not to mention in just one take, no cuts or anything...
You're welcome so much! Honestly, I love looking at your stuff; the style is very distinct, and yes, sometimes I can think "another lynx? Doesn't she get bored with drawing them so often?" but with each piece is so much diversity and attention to detail that I wind up forgetting my initial prejudice (if that's the right word). You have a theme, but elaborate on it differently each time, like having plain flour and then mixing different spices (and songs) and amounts of them to get completely different results. It's inspiring! <333

IceandSnow In reply to Catagelophobia [2008-09-07 05:28:05 +0000 UTC]
Woww, thank you so much!
I do tend to draw lynx-like creatures a lot, hehee. But I'm glad that I'm able to spice up my art enough to give it diversity. That's what I'm going for, really. I do try to experiment with a lot of different things because I wouldn't want my whole gallery to look the same! xD

I wish I could tell you how amazing this is but that's impossible- I'd have to invent new words.
I'll do my best.
I can't believe how much you've improved. With every new picture you seem to get better and better. I love this picture to death, really. It apparently has a lot of symbolism in your life, and I feel that I can maybe relate to it a little too, in different ways. Maybe. Anyway, basically, I see a lot of meaning behind this. I love art with a hidden message.
Aside from that, it's gorgeous. Everything- the tones, style, outling, shading... the nighttime sky and moon especially draws me in.
This picture really makes me want to experiment with a few new things and materials.
As for your comment after the lyrics:
I'm sorry about what happened... That goes to show you that you were too good [and still are] for him anyway. The right guy will come along someday. <3

Awww, thank you so, so much dear. I think when I try to create my art with real emotion and thoughts in mind I do my best work.
And thanks... I really hope you're right. I'm just hoping once I go to college and in a sense "start over" that I'll find my "knight in shining armor" xD

Your style's gotten so much less stubby and juvenile in anatomy (like, kitten paws and whatnot) and your characters really seem to be "growing up," physically and emotionally...
you did this so well.
so much better.
so much more beautiful
but still awesome by my standards!
I like this interpretation much better...the background details are incredible.
You are an incredibly talanted and gifted person. I love your work and you're so kind!
Your work is really becoming so unique and different. So much more its own thing.
This, I think, is the best picture in your gallery right now. You get so much better in each picture now...it's astounding!
