Doodled this thing some while back and wrote my "Christmas List" on the back of it and almost threw it away. Decided to color it in photoshop. I actually like how it looks. I was going to offer an explanation, but then... no. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I was thinking of Europe when drawing this... actually, I'm sure of it. I tried to make it grit-ily realistic while Romanticized at the same time... cuz I do stuff that makes no sense like that. Hence the shop to the far right.

But here, have the song I was listening to while coloring it. The song is by no means the original interpretation, but it made me feel better so have it anyway.

Lyrics so you don't actually have to listen to it (it's a Yann Tiersen song with a man singing in English to what I think is a song from Amelie, and the piece is called "Les Toujours Tristes" and it's very French-sounding):
It's hard, hard not to sit on your hands
And bury your head in the sand
Hard not to make other plans
And claim that you've done all you can all along
And life must go on

It's hard, hard to stand up for what's right
And bring home the bacon each night
Hard not to break down and cry
When every idea that you've tried has been wrong
But you must carry on

It's hard but you know it's worth the fight
'Cause you know you've got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Don't be afraid of what they'll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day

It's hard, hard when you're here all alone
And every else has gone home
Harder to know right from wrong
When all objectivities gone
And it's gone
But you still carry on

'Cause you, you are the only one left
And you've got to clean up this mess
You know you'll end up like the rest
Bitter and twisted, unless
You stay strong and you carry on

It's hard but you know it's worth the fight
'Cause you know you've got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
And don't be afraid of what they'll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day, One day
