Description
when you try your best but you don't succeedwhen you get what you want but not what you need
when you feel so tired but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse
and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
and high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
tears stream down your face
and i
tears stream down your face
i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face
and i
lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
-coldplay, fix you
don't ask me exactly how this applies to the song, or where it came from. (I think I just felt like doing something that wasn't homework.) just call it a feel-thing.
Penny and Wings belong to me.

Ohhh.. <33 This is beautiful. I like how it's lineless; looks sort of dreamlike.. like a memory rather than a Polaroid. :3 And Penny looks so gorgeous and dainty, lawl. xD

What medium did you use for this? It looks great! I bet it was difficult to get the sighthound's head at an angle like that. I admire how you capture the emotion in this pic, great job!

Photoshop painting. there's a soft brush apparently not too many people know about. that angle is actually not difficult at all thanks to the fact that I've been drawing sighthounds of all shapes and sizes for more than ten years, and these two are whippets - my favourite. which angle did you mean? Wings (pied male) or Penny (copper female)? just curious.
thank you dude!

I think I mean Wings, his face is downward and at an angle.

Lovely! I like that there are no real lines, and the soft coloring is something I especially like. They look very sweet, and at the same time...something else. I can't really describe it.

The song is called "Fix You," by Coldplay, on their "X & Y" CD. And it's one of my favorites on that one. That and "Speed of Sound," and "Clocks."
:3
I really like the sort of blurred effect this piece has; it reminds me of memories and strong sunlight.

Woops. Got caught scanning the AN.
As soon as I recognized the song I went straight back down to the non-italicized type!
My bad. :3 And I'm glad you're getting to like this piece too!

xD It's cool. everyone does things like that sometimes. Coldplay is awesome though, even if they dredge up past hurts and make me melancholy. they do it in a good way. :3
<3333 when am I getting that picture of your doggies? Failing which you could just do a rough sort of drawing to show me where their markings are, and what colours. :3 I know doggies are hard to photograph. >.>;

The soft and linelessness of this one really gives it an ephemeral feel - like they're in a field of mist or something. Very soft and very sweet.
On a non mood-related note, I adore Penny's ear.

Pfft, gotta experiment to grow!
And yeah, I've been really absent lately - provided sketches to Whivit for a while but wasn't able to come up with a sketch for the last one to satisfy me. Gonna try swapping media, see if that kicks me out of my funk.
