Not yet my newest work, but not far away now... Once again an AMAlice-fanart, and once again it's with an Epica song I can relate to very much, "Solitary Ground/Solid Ground" from their second album, "Consign to Oblivion", the lyrics speaks it all for both me and for this fanartwork. Here they are, those lyrics of the song which are written in this artwork;

"Living at different places. Evading into various spaces.
My compass has broken, I'm losing the way.
An ongoing madness has led me astray...

My past breathes down my neck, and it seems now that all I can do is;
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead.
A fading illusion now plagues me instead...

In me there's still a place that fulfil's me,
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to,
When Winter descends.
If I try, can I find solid ground?..."
~Epica - Solitary Ground/Solid Ground

Alice herself is in the Vale of Tears from the game Alice - Madness Returns. Almost immadietely after I scanned this one in, and even some before, I noticed and learned my lesson to enhance the lines etc with colour in the future, to not be too discrete with colour. I am still pretty happy with this one though.

Also, if you want to hear the song, here are the links. Also note that while doing this artwork I had the two versions in mind, the Single Version/Piano Version and the regular version. I'll link them both here, the first one is the regular version with lyrics;

The second one is the Single Version, in which the second verse was cut from, and the middle vocalising is different. Epica themselves also made a musicvideo of this version, here's the link for it;

I seriously love both versions, even though the Single Version is more tear-jerking for me.

I own nothing in this artwork as it is a Fanart, I only drew it and painted it with colour-pencils.

-The lyrics in this artwork and the song itself,"Solitary Ground" belongs to the Symphonic-Metal band Epica!
