Description
Please Full View this one!More HTC Pictures! For more information on the challenge, and how you can start your own "theme" challenge based on your favorite songs, check this out: [link]
(Not like it's hard to put together. Just make up a list of your favorite songs and draw pictures of them. It's something I really want to encourage.)
But yeah, the link's there so you can see the progress I've made, and it has links to the pictures in the series that I've completed.
Anyway, I said be ready for more sad pictures, and this is another one, based on an even sadder song. This track, "Believe" comes from Hanson's album, "Underneath" that they released in 2004. Anyway, lyrics first, then we'll talk about the picture.
(Remember guys, I didn't write these songs, Hanson did! That's kinda why it's called the Hanson Theme Challenge
I was holding on, now I'm letting go.
This is nothing more than a picture show.
Everything I knew now I hardly know,
Busy keeping less never getting more.
One more nickel dime I'm out the door,
This kind of life I can't afford.
I want to believe, there's something to believe.
I would live only just to believe.
Oh, I'd love to believe,
It's not only me,
That's longing only just to believe,
To believe.
'Cause I want to believe,
I want to believe.
Can't put my mind at ease with the words I say,
Trying to get myself to get out of my way.
Birds in the trees just make me depressed,
Seeing sunny skies, feeling emptiness.
Layers of lies just seem to fold,
This kind of life is all I know.
I want to believe, there's something to believe.
I would live only just to believe.
Oh, I'd love to believe,
It's not only me,
That's longing only just to believe,
To believe.
'Cause I want to believe,
I want to believe.
Murder wears a friendly smile,
Like the perfect end in a plastic vial,
No pain.
Sorry I can't seem to stay,
But this bird was meant to fly away.
Fly away, fly away.
Layers of lies just seem to fold,
This kind of life is all I know.
I want to believe, there's something to believe.
I would live only just to believe.
Oh, I'd love to believe,
It's not only me,
That's longing only just to believe,
To believe.
'Cause I want to believe,
I want to believe.
I will believe,
I'd love to believe,
I can believe in something.
I will believe,
I'd love to believe.
I can't believe in nothing.
I will believe,
I'd love to believe,
I can believe in something.
I will believe,
I'd love to believe.
I can't believe in nothing.
How much sadder can it get right? Thankfully, not much. I rank this as one of the saddest songs Hanson's written.
But remember we've still got ones like "Lay Me Down" and even "One More" to come.
Anyway, yes, ironically this picture looks like the sequal to the last one I submitted, HTC: "Dying to be Alive" Now that Aranelion's made it up and is living life again, these two it seems, even after he helped them up, are still down and out.
I've wanted to do a picture of Camillia and Elianaron for a long time. While Eli and I are not really close in person, I see Elianaron and Camillia being quite close, like you can imagine they would be since Camillia dates Elianaron's twin brother Aranelion, and eventually marries him. I see them the way I see Eli and me if Aaron and I ever get anywhere together.
Yeah, I see us and them suffering through crap together, even amongst all the good I see. There have to be times when they can lean on each other during the storm.
So I had this idea of them sitting back to back, propping their weary heads on their bent knees, trying to find something to motivate them to move on and be happy, but they can't, and they're desperate to. They just don't know what to do. Everything depresses them it seems, and to that end, they wonder how they'll ever smile again. Hope just isn't enough right now, and so, they're sad.
Yep, fifth picture in a row from me where nobody is smiling. lawl.
Anyway, I drew the poses from memory...I had no refs, so I did the best I could with that, and I'm actually very pleased with the end result. Camillia's tail is bent to the other side, which is why you can't see it, but I love how Elianaron's tail is positioned. I think Elianaron's legs and his sitting postion gave me the most trouble. It's not perfect, but I love the picture. <3
I'm in the mood to do HTC pictures, so expect more to come! I really wanna draw Camillia and Elianaron more. Eli and I have a similar frame of mind...I've mentioned this before. We're on the same end of the spectrum when it comes to personality (i.e. We can both be kinda manic and high strung. We can be loud.) This is just what I've observed. Aaron's the calm twin, like Aranelion, and Eli is the wild twin, like Elianaron. And while I have different personalities and tendencies in different situations, one of those mindsets is almost identical to how Eli acts. I can only imagine the lower end of that personality might be the same too...hence, I could invision this picture amazingly well. It makes sense to me.
But yeah, enough of my talk, lol.

Wow, that really is a sad song. But going to the picture, I love Camillia's and Eli's pose. You also did a great job with portraying their sadness through their expressions. Great job! ^_^

Yeah it is. It's sadder to listen to than to simply read the lyrics too.
Thank you so very much! ^^

Very, infact if you download and listen to the song it is sad to listen to the words, but the song is kinda comforting...and like you said, relaxing.
Thank you!

I'll try it. It also kind of sounds like "My Immortal" by Evanescence

I freakin' love that song... "My Immortal" I mean. I have two different versions. One is just piano and vocals, the other is almost identical but brings in the full band at the bridge and to the end.
lol, if you can find "Believe" I'd recommend every other song in Hanson's arsenal, but then again I think that's a bit much for a casual listener j/k

You really are such a good artist. You have vision. That's something I never had. And your pictures have soul. Like there's a piece of you put into every single piece. You never cease to amaze me with your pictures.
I really loved the last one, by the way. Sorry I didn't get around to commenting on it. I'm a little side-tracked at the moment ._.

ReverseTheEclipse In reply to Superspud [2009-01-21 01:05:25 +0000 UTC]
I really appreciate hearing that. It means a lot to me, knowing that, especially right now. Thank you
And no worries. ^^ I feel like everybody's been busy. Comments have been slow and faves are almost nonexistant, well, unless they're for that "I Respect" stamp But I'm not complaining

Yes I agree with you there, I haven't been getting many comments on my journals lately. Or my last 2 deviations. I'm not really complaining though. It doesn't bother me either way.
And you're very welcome

lol my journals haven't gotten as much attention either. I think people in school are busy wrapping up exams...and then the past two days were like an extended holiday here in the US (with MLK Day and the Inaguration) so maybe things will pick back up
But like you said I'm not complaning either ^^
