Description In my head i found you there and
Running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now
But i find that i have, now
More then i ever wanted to

So maybe thomas jefferson
Wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to when
She has left you there, you, are
Here in my head
And running around and calling me
"come back i'll show you the roses
That brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again"
And you know that
Apple green ice cream
Can melt in your hands
I can't, so...

I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even thomas jefferson
Wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left
You and me here
Alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers
As the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt
And the girl from the south
All favorites of mine
You know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear
Makes it all...
Hey, do you know
Hey, do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here...
Here...
Here. In my head

Tori Amos - Here, In My Head
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's all her fault, she and her song made me do it q:. I don't remember when I have painted something so big with so many details (within so freakin' short time). And it's officially autumn now, because I started to draw my own characters(:. Nothing more to add, the song tells everything, and the rest for your interpretation.
Colours inspired by the wonderful *janaschi

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Done in Painter X and Photoshop CS2. I know, it could use much more work, but right now I don't have a solution for the problematic parts, plus my headache says no way!

To ma w sobie tyle czaru, smutku i uroku. Piękne. Na krótki czas wykonania, to naprawdę świetna praca. Bardzo klimatyczna.

I love the mannequin attached to the guy with a red string. I think that's cool. I also really like her feathered hair and flow-y bohemian-ish dress juxtaposed with the mechanical joints of her arms and legs. Interesting choice.

Can't say I get the guy and the smokey chick.

Beautiful piece, though.

I love this its so beautiful , have you seen her not sure what to call it I guess comic book , called tattoo its like 50 illustrated stories based on her words . I so wish that this could have been in it its totally worthy of publication and better than some of them were

Yes, I've seen it on amazon.com, but I don't know exactly what's inside, I mean, I never held it in my hands and saw the inside content. I hope, I will be able to purchase it someday.

Awww, thank you, that's a big compliment(however I can't say a word about what's inside the book)

that is a shame you have not seen it in person .i know barns and nobels carries it. it is gynoemus weighing like 10 pounds .for the most part the art work and the stories they tell are quite good.and the opining is from Neil Gaiman . over all its worth the cost. thou i liked your art for counting my feathers better than the artist who submitted to the book , their story was interesting. a fantasy story about a girl faced with the choice of being human and living in the pain of loving some one who dose not love you , or becoming a bird like the outhr females in her family and in true Hans christian Anderson mode she makes the choice of following her heart to sorrow. i hope you get a chance to look at it

Przepraszam, to zielonookie dziewczę jest jakieś... sztuczne? Bo ręce i nogi wyglądają na prawie idealne podróbki prawdziwych
Lubię taki klimacik- niby strasznie, ale nie za bardzo, nikt nikogo nie morduje. Rozmywająca się duszyczka, liście i klatka tworzą, wespół z mrokiem, bardzo fajny, osobliwy klimat. Postacie są piękne i tak bardzo prawdziwe, że aż dziw, że to za pomocą programów ten efekt, a nie prawdziwymi farbami

Nivak [2008-09-21 05:46:00 +0000 UTC]

A teraz zastanówmy się, co autorka miała na myśli, rysując twarz Alexa w sposób bardziej maźnięciowy niż Iv?

Poza tym wersja ze zdziwieniem wydaje się być bardziej pociągającą w związku z tym, że już Iv nie wyraża zbyt wielu emocji (co u niej akurat dość normalne), chociaż to w sumie zależy od tego ile czasu minęło, bo mógł się był pan trochę skisić emocjonalnie

Się mię kolorki podobają i włoski tej pani. Reszta oczywiście również aczkolwiek z naciskiem na kolorki i włoski

ellaine In reply to Nivak [2008-09-21 12:29:24 +0000 UTC]

Rozczaruję cie, ale z przyczyn czysto technicznych - po zmniejszeniu szlag trafial detale i twarz robiła się za bardzo rozmazana

No ale jakos tak, zdziwienie odpadło, w sumie to nie o taki rodzaj emocji mi jednak chodziło. W ogóle ta praca tworzyła się cały czas od nowa w trakcie powstawania.

Kolorki i włoski mówią dziękuję

Takie odniosłam wrażenie, że koncepcja szczegółowa (bo nie ogólna) zmieniała się w tak zwanym między czasie

Jakby co, ja się nie czepiam. Rysunek podoba mi się i już

Glad you did, not many people care to listen to songs that go along with pictures, even if they're really important sometimes.

But right now I miss the beautiful, warm autumn with tons of colourful leaves and mist. I can't wait for that.

I'm happy to know that you stil do, thank you!


Oh, and by the way, have you really deleted your account at last.fm?

D-NA In reply to ellaine [2008-09-21 16:03:05 +0000 UTC]

I ALWAYS listen to songs if artists mention them and I have them. Especially when it comes to your paintings, because I know how songs are important to you and the story.

Me too! I am so sick of this weather. It's cold, gloomy, but leaves are still green. That's not autumn! That's mother nature being a bitch I too can't wait for warm, colourful autumn. That's what I like about it the most!

And yes, I have deleted my account. Long and stupid story... ok, maybe not so long, but stupid.
