Description Although you're sleeping right next to me,
Well, it feels like you are wide awake in a distant dream
Leading a life that is finally free...
- bound to happen, the spill canvas.



What. The. Fuck. Two manips in one day? This took a max of one hour to find stock, put it together and voila. What the hell!? I feel like I should wait till tomorrow to put it up, but it's soooo pretty -strokes-. I adore this. Okay. Ahem! This manip was made for larfsalot's relationship contest - [link] .

Basically, this represents the ability to be free to live in that free place with you're significant other in the perfect relationship. To be able to breathe deeply and know, that no matter what, nothing is going to seperate you. Nothing. It's a concept we, as humans, are haunted by, and is difficult to grasp. Imagine the weight of death being lifted off your shoulders, feeling that relief that not even death has anything to do with it. Imagine. Eternity, wide awake in that beautiful, distant dream.

HOWEVER. This also has a second side to it - notice the grey horses white eyes. In a way, this represents the relationship in which they guide each other. The grey horse steps out in confidence, following the brown, who vows to lead him/her through that beautiful forever. Yeah. Love it.



Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually steal/copy/rip stuff. So don't accuse me, kay?


STEAL MY WORK AND I WILL TAKE YOUR SPLEEN AND FEED IT TO RABID DOGS.
understand? good

Hee. Hee. Pogo-horse.*points to gray horse and titters nervously*. Sorry, that's just what came to mind when I saw it. AMAAAZING piece though, looks quite like a painting really... something about the texture at the bottom maybe?

How right you are ^^ I hadn't noticed the grey was blind. To have such trust in another is what everyone needs.

I like the colours you have used in this, and the panoramic feeling. Hope you do well in the contest!

This is amazing! I love the manes and tails. I also love the way you did the text. It's simple, but elegant. Good luck in the contest.
