Angel first off don't worry that the picture is calling 'longing for you' and is dedicated to you ~ Laughs ~ It is not about you. You were the one though that commented saying you wanted to see me draw again and well I thought it only right that the first picture be dedicated to you ~ Smiles ~ So you don't have to worry about stalkers or anything, at least not from me ~ Laughs and bows ~
As for the picture itself. I actually got inspiration for this while listening to Inferno's From Paris To Berlin. It was one of my favourite songs in 2006 when I was seeing one of my favourite movies of all time and making some of the best memories I could have imagined. It became synonymous for that time and in 2007 I would get depressed and angry when I heard it because I couldn't go back there.
Come 2009 though I needed music for my myO site and since the theme was the one that the memories of this song were linked to I sought it out to add to my site, got addicted and yesterday ended up listening to it 4 times ultra loud. It was during this that I got my inspiration and oddly enough saw what I wanted to draw. I can't normally do that so I have to copy pictures ~ Points to my portfolio and the DGM stuff ~ Copied. This time I copied from my mind and embellished since the bed was too far to the side ~ Laughs ~
So review: I like the bedside cabinet ~ Laughs ~ I don't know why but I love that cabinet. The picture on it is of Ezra the daughter of that character (who is my alter-ego). In one of the versions I actually looked sad but the face was wrong so I changed it to try and make it better and ended up looking pissed off ~ Groans ~ Believe it or not though this is the most realistic version I could manage (as I said I was doing this from memory and side profiles really aren't my forte, nor is people crying ~ Laughs ~). When you look at this you have to think 'and you left me longing for you' because that is this picture, she is longing for someone and has been left behind ~ Laughs ~ I figured later on that I probably would look pissed if that happened so maybe my mind was showing me exactly how it would be. The line down her face is a tear. Away from not liking the face I was quite happy with everything else, especially the leg. It may not be perfect but it looks like what I have wanted ~ Laughs ~ The feet aren't too bad either, that is my second attempt at them, the first ended up too small and is on another picture in the archives. I shouldn't have stopped the belt partway round though. I had a version where it continued and changed it when adding the second layer ~ Curses ~ Oh an points of clarification. The round thing on the floor is a (very unconvincing) rug, and the thing at the end of the bed is a duvet kicked back ~ Cracks up ~ I don't have a rug and couldn't really be fussed to copy my duvet so guessed. I did copy my bed a little though the things at the nearest end look wrong, I didn't want to copy mine so mad them up ~ Tuts ~ Bad move ~ Laughs ~ The wallpaper I like too ~ Cracks up ~ And Anna you should recognise the spider slippers ~ Winks ~
So yea, I rattle on too much but I like to read these later ~ Peace signs the future me and cracks up ~
Short Summery For Those On Time Limits
Err this picture was done from memory, drawn and shaded with posh looking pencils, and was inspired by From Paris To Berlin by Inferno!
Enjoy,
