Description [Edit] You can now listen to or download the song here. :3

This was alittle idea I thought about... That'd I'd make a "comic" to Rubis' "theme song".

This comic was drawn to "The Remedy (I won't worry)" By Jason Mraz. <~ bolded for no reason. a link to the lyrics can be found here.

Anywho, to explain things, I'm making a sort of comic to this song. These are the first four lines from the first verse. the next comic will be titled "The Remedy - Verse 1, part 2" and then "the Remedy, Chorus". I'm pretty sure I'll make the chorus have only one part. I plan on finishing this. if I don't, pester me until I do. I really want to finish a comic for once.

I love like.. tons of songs by Jason Mraz. He makes great songs, but ever since I was little I've always had a thing for "care free" kinda songs. Examples would be "Allstar" by Smashmouth.... well I don't usually hear too many songs like these... or I just can't remember any. I love these saongs because they say how good life can be, if you make something out of it. a quote from Allstar, "You'll never shine if you don't glow". These songs... god I basically LIVE by them... they help me, they advise me, they inspire me to be a better person.

For some reason, "The Remedy" always reminds me of Rubis. I like to think Rubis tries to make the best out of life, I like to think he's always happy, he makes the best out of situations.

and it's mostly true, until he finds out that he's adopted... well he sort of has a mental breakdown and doesn't understand anything anymore, he forgets why he needs to be so happy. he forgets he can make things happy. he looses it.

But aside from that... Rubis always makes the best out of things. he tries at least. That's why it reminds me of him. "I won't worry my life away" says Jason Mraz. something that Rubis would likely say.

So about the comic itself. (By the way, if you try to steal ANY of the panels, good luck because I've rigged each one with invisible water marks, fools.) I tried useing no outlines, I have to say I like it. but all of these were drawn with my tablet. I really really like the first panel. the fireworks were so fun to make. I love them. :3 At first I had a purple lighting on him, as to suggest that a purple firework was out infront of him, but purple looked really really odd. I tried all sorts of colors and none of them looked very good. ~irkentak suggested I used yellow, and I did, and it friggin rocked. Thanks Vensy! I love Rubis in the first panel, he's so cute looking... god I act like Rubis is real sometimes. if he was I'd treat him like a friggin child to me... he is my child. child of my mind...

Whoops off topic. anywho...

The second panel is pretty ok, I'm happy with it. another firework. XD The thrid panel... god it bugs me. probably because I sat there for like 2 hours drawing Saphy in different poses. I couldn't pick a good damn pose, so I went for the classic cute shit with the hands behind her back and I friggin hate myself for it... @___@;;; The fourth panel's ok... the shading could have been better.. i think... but the cars... UGH CARS I friggin hate drawing cars. I tried though. XD; That's what counts, right?

I have like the first 3 panels of the next part planned, but I have NO idea what to do for the chorus.... @___@ I hope I think of something soon... Any suggestions, please post here.

One cool thing though, I really want to start painting. I love to paint, and I think I'll use the first panel. :3 I'm going to paint that, only bigger WHEE and guess WHAT?! I have BLACKLIGHT paint! ^_____^ so it'll light up omfg it'll be awsome. !!

Please, I never ask you to full view anything. Please, Full view this deviation. Thank you.

No lines! I love it!

You're right, Rubis is adorable here
Aww, and Saphy is cute too X3
And don't be so picky
The silliest little things bother you, like, "Omgwtf look at that star it's brighter than the others X["
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but your just so hard on yourself and your art, when it always looks wonderful

XD I'm only like.. hard on myself with pictures so I can learn from them, so I remember my mistakes. XD just ignore me when I do that. I'm usually very proud of anything I whip out, cause I'm quite egotistical. o-o;

Thanks for the lovely comment!

I said it before and I'll say it again, I think this is one of my favorite peices I've seen from you yet. I really think the picture with Saphy looks really good. I think the cutesy "stereotypical" pose fits the whole thing very well.
I was reading the description of how you liked carefree lyrics I remember you saying how you really liked the lyrics "Give me a chance to shine and i’ma blind the world
Take a stand and be the voice of those who cannot be heard" from "DJ, DJ" y th' Transplants.
((I really used to like Jason Mraz too when that song came out. Shh dont tell anyone))
K Im done babbling.

OMFGYAY

I love this song. I aadore this song. it was the first song I ever heard from Jason Mraz and OMFG I adore Jason, too. Seen him live twice, seeing him again AS SOON as he comes back to Philly (or anywhere in a 100 mile radius)

*spaz* And Rubis and Saphy are so cute @@; *hugs them both*

He is so good live *___* ESPECIALLY if it's a small stage, with minimal screaming fangirls *shoots them* NO ONE was at the first concert I saw him at (it wasn't even a concert, it was a gig), so he was great but the next time there were stupid screaming girls *SHOOTS THEM* Coulda been worse. I LEFT the John Mayer concert because of screaming girls. I was shocked ... I had seen him, like, FOUR TIMES before that and no one was there. Met him at the Tower, actually (The Tower = old timey movie theatre turned concert hall -- BEST SOUND EVER) ... but as soon as 'wonderland' came out ... *sigh* He's so good live, but no one can hear him ;.;

If Jason's ever playing a small stage around you, GO SEE HIM I COMMAND IT.

For the chorus, why not him walking along the side of the road or something?

I always pictured something like that to the song XD
