Description Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

-Billy Joel

I always thought that was a really good "friendship" song. Commission for Daswolf of his character and his best friend. Done with prismacolor pencils, microns, and graphite on heavy cardstock.

This is WONDERFUL, I love the giant monster paws and the tail looks so fantastic!
Call me a perv, but I notice that her boobs are both sort of angled the same way.. and with the way her shoulders/neck/head/general torso are facing, I think that a more natural placement of her right breast would be more facing the audience. Unless she has a seriously major wonderbra on

Theres not much to say now that everyone else has used up all the great words to discribe this work. *chuckles* It is very awsome how you set up the back ground with head shots like a frame. I had to smile the moment I saw this. You've done sensational on the wolf and girl along with perspective. They look natural and not run together. Each body has its own space yet at the same time theme wise they share mood space. If that made any sence at all. *laughs* Great work. ^.^

This is a really good pic!!

Though I feel I must point out a couple of things. First, you may get in a wee bit of trouble for posting the lyrics in there entirety. Depends on how tight-@$$ed dA is feeling.

Second, and this is more to everyone else who's posting, the name of the song is Just The Way You Are. Not trying to correct your art, just the song!


Sorry, Billy Joel fan talking, I'll go away now.

I already had a deviation in my gallery named Just the Way You Are, God I love that song, so I had to shorten it to make do because DA is gay and won't let me name something the same thing twice.

Thanks for the comment and you rock for being a Billy Joel fan.
