Description it's the first part of the commission for Ben my dear dA-friend and a very admired musician
it's actually an illustration of the lyrics of his highly
beautiful song "Subaqueous"( [link] ) and it will hopefully will be used as a part of cover art of his new
album I hope Ben's going to like it at least a little bit

oh thank you so i think I'm still trying to work out my own style you know,
you are Joseph's friend and you inspired some of his poems, and you're pretty incredible yourself so I thought watching you was simply a must-do for me I only wonder why I did it so late

oh, I would very much like to be called his "kind friend" once, for now I don't really know if I deserve such name yet, since I has virtually known him and been writing to him for a relatively very short time,
but You in turn certainly already deserve such name, and all your clever meaningful comments on his poems are very interesting read themselves

I meant to comment on this before but got distracted by another comment. Another great glowy piece, and so true to your style. The dark and light contrasts beautifully, particularly the white fish and black sharks. The right-hand person-creature-thing has a really friendly face

I love illustrating songs, usually playing the song on loop in the background while I paint. It annoys my flatmates a bit though and gets the song stuck in my head for the rest of the week...

smoldering075 [2007-06-27 02:33:35 +0000 UTC]

it's a lovely illustration for the song...fits the mood well, with the surreal undertone...

i almost want to say the figures and subjects need to be more defined for an album cover though...it's definitely very eye-catching either way
