Description The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest

For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

Sorrow has a human heart
From my God it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go

Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say

I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you

by Nightwish



Well, I don't have to say much this time, another picture based on a wonderful song. I'm quite satisfied with the background and the poses, the heads, well, they're ok.
It's funny. Noryx (the wolf in the right) also exists as a lion. I turned him into one because of an RPG, but I still prefer him as a wolf anyway ;3

Please enjoy!

I like your character designs. Especially that Galleon of yours. ^^ Might have to do some (extremely) random fanart for you just to try his design. Which isn't to say I don't like the others--but he's my favorite so far. c:

You're welcome ^^ Aww. Well, I'm awful at drawing wolves, but he's just so pretty...although he might not appreciate being called pretty. xD Rest assured I will link you to whatever I come up with ^^

Aw... I... T_T This picture makes me feel something... It's beautiful and sad at the same time for me. Anyway. Great work. I love the wolves, and their head on the top too. I love the sunset on the sea too, it's really pretty.

Oh, thank you so much, Sheena I'm touched about your words.
I mean - (for me) it's the reward of an artist to hear that someone feels something when he looks at your picture. I'm so proud now

Thanks, my dear^^
Well, I was inspired by the cover of the song, and a sunset with sea isn't THAT difficult, believe me. It's just drawing your pen over the tablet again and again And it took way less time than the wolfes.

Kerlyyy In reply to DarkRika [2009-09-09 15:00:32 +0000 UTC]

i see i always do the background the same time as the ''characters'' itself XD i might try a sunset sometime seems sooo hard though >.<

DarkRika In reply to Kerlyyy [2009-09-10 06:00:42 +0000 UTC]

Well, with some references, it's a bit easier
And I'm doing the colouring on many different layers, often starting with the characters. I'm glad I'm able to make backgrounds anyway now xD
Yes, try it out! :3

Wenn du den ganz links meinst, jap, Corey ist ein Hundemon^^ In der Geschichte benennt man ihn zwar als "Schatten" (äääuußerst einfallsreich, ich weiß xxxD), aber das Konzept ist ja wirklich schnell wiederzuerkennen
