When I saw this challenge by 1dev13, I just had to participate because it seem like fun. =D And I had alot of songs in mind, but this one stood out to me. It is one of my favorites of all time.

I actually vectored Melfina. O.o Eh, I vectored before. I really don't think its for me, but I guess it is good to change up things every one in awhile. Plus the song kept me going. XD I need to be more organize with my layers. XD Haha The colors and the feathers (I did with the pen tool) were inspired by Lupe's verse. He mentioned phoenix and fire. I think the toughest time I had was deciding how to do the typography. I really didn't know how I wanted to toy with it so I just kept it simple.

So yeah...lol put the parental advisory there. XD I know I didn't have to, but just thinking about the lyrics...it does have some strong use of profanity though it isn't really heard till Big Sean's verse. XD

Dedicated to hubby because he helped me decide what image of Melfina to use because I was very indecisive. XD I liked all three piccies of Melfina I found. XDDD

Music Motivation: "Don't Look Down" by kanYe West feat. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and Big Sean. (eh Youtube don't have the right sound like this sounds a bit high pitched to me or a little sped up from the original. o.o)

Original Image Used: Melfina

Texture: I had it for awhile so I can't remember where it is from. =.=

Disclaimer: Melfina belongs to Takehiko Itō, Morning Star Studio, and Sunrise (I think). And song title belongs to Kanye West.
