Description

Drown


What doesn't kill you

Makes you wish you were dead

Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper

And I can't take

One more moment of this silence

The loneliness is haunting me

And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up

It comes in waves, I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me

I'm not OK and it's not all right

Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again

Who will fix me now?

Dive in when I'm down?

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown

Who will make me fight?

Drag me out alive?

Save me from myself

Don't let me drown


Bring Me The Horizon - Drown - That's The Spirit - 2015 


This is my entry for Mermaid Contest

held by 



And again, eagle eye perspective ( not really, because it underwater  ), it's hard to find the stock for this directed composition, I literally spend most of the time searching the right stock , and still I can't find right stock ( it includes all from the model into the underwater ocean ecosystem stock ), so I need to tweak the stock that have closer look XD. This work inspired by Pirates of Carribean movie, not sure which series episode, also this was inspired by Bring Me The Horizon song, it'is epic song, but you might not want to watch the video XD.   

Despite it being hard to find, still thanks for the stock provider to let me use their amazing stock

excluding the man...It was a perfect scene of Aquaman! I like the work on mermaid!

Few important underwater or not here.... because you wanted create a specific work where you are pointing "down" in the abyss.....and so vertical.....and so is correct use bird or eagle view....Pure bird view because vertical.

In the following image the photographer is underwater and he is pointing to the sky static.wixstatic.com/media/c49…


.......So its a bird view also if tecnically is inverted



Don't you find the right stock because you have to stop to thinks only in a regular/standard way. To create a bird view is necessary use double or triple energy because  is required a massive use of creativity.....So you have to force your creativity to read an enviroment bird view volcanoes or mountains for example in a texture wood ----> I suppose you see the 2 volcanoes You have to visualize them also with lava.

So in reality there is stock bird view but the research is complex! Many times is necessary use key words out of the schemes. Example? check this following image key words vegetables-and-tomatoes ---- www.pexels.com/photo/vegetable… Do you see the red lobsters? They are perfectly in bird view.


No tutorial on the net explain this because its all linked to the experience.


If you want and you are really interested take time to read my long conversation in this following work eagle view and you'll understand  the previous words ----->

Beautiful examples ! Yes, maybe I need to think about a similar looking stock for my future works XD, it is a bit less fun in the journey searching for those stocks . And yes, I think it could be working like the tree bark - mountainscape case, but still, the lifelike character like people or animal bird perspective is the one hardest to get the stock in my hand because people especially stock providers still rarely do that, also because people (photomanip artist) also seldom make art based top down perspective XD. Also yeah, I don't know how to find some stock images in bird perspective because usually what you wanted to have is appeared in stock images which have keyword, tags or intention is not related XD, I guess it still part of the process then .

Anyway thanks for checking ! I'm glad to have some lesson from another dA fellows
