Description "I hear the sound
Of the ticking of clocks
Who remembers your face
Who remembers you when you are lost

I hear the sound
Of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me
When I am lost

Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper
Just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper


Night turns to day
And I still have these questions.
Bridges will break
Should I go forward or backwards.
Night turns to day,
And I still get no answers
I'm just a whisper, a whisper, a whisper, a whisper."

'A Whisper' ~Coldplay

-----

I only discovered this song a couple of days ago. It made me think of Monarch in an eerie way.

Technically, she shouldn't exist at all. She's dead. Lost in time. Just a figment in the history books, a mysterious ghost, an illusion created to fill the void.

She isn't really who she was created to be and was never truly born. It's like she's a shadow that is attached to no visible source, the puppet that moves by itself, the invisible girl.

Her name pops up in the past and then again future, yet in her case, she arrived in the future before she existed in the past. She arrives at the same time that she has disappeared, the loophole, the repeating pattern, an optical trick.

How is it that you label such an existence?


Monarch C me.

Is your head hurting yet?

It is a very eerie picture. Blood, butterflies, aliens, but hey, it works beautifully. Especially the contrast of orange and red, very striking!C:

And who says she shouldn't exist! She's there, it happened, you saw it, you can't unsee it!D:>

..That's a really good song for her actually.
Still jealouzz of your concepts and creativityyy.

I like the way some of the colors/objects are vertically blurred like that.
Still enjoying the use of them butterflies I see. They're really cool here too. *can't think of a good comment* .. ._.;

Thanks. It was an idea.

Honestly? The last week I've been lending out books on fashion from my school library and I'm sstill finding it very difficult to come up with designs hat interest me visually like yours do. You don't give yourself enough credit for what you can do.

SurreptitiousSophism [2011-02-10 16:25:55 +0000 UTC]

I truly enjoy her expression and the contrasts in colors, as well as the 'smear' effect.

And bah, whoever said time was a set-in-stone concept? It is merely something designed to help the mortal remember their days, and the immortal to forget them.

Fitting song for the situation, however. Oh the blessedness of temporal paradoxes. Such an existence could possibly be labeled as 'pleasantly convoluted.'

Ah, thank you C:

XD True, very true.

I knew it was perfect when I found it. I may very well start using this as Monarch's theme.
Indeed.

No, but my head is spinning, very rapidly, I might add.
I can only cope by comparing it to the time travel element of Okami. XD

Hmm, I never know what to say about your pictures. They are very beautiful.

Oooh, I LOVE that part. But it's annoying if you miss anything while you're in there seeing as you can't get back.

Well thank you, just taking the time to look means well enough to me c:>

I usually don't miss much during that part. It's in my nature as a gamer to explore every detail.

You're welcome

Nope, it might take a bit more than that to get my head spinning.

I really like how some of her adornments are sort of coming off of her, like the studs on her head and the Zyrin Zeager tattoo. Although it kind of looks like she's flipping you off, but those are just those odd three finger hands playing their tricks again. x)

She also has very squinty eyes here, which I really like for some reason, like you wake up and your eyes are still half-closed.

Indeed, my head was hurting long before.
Because while I was reading the Beginning(/middle/end) and a certain picture of AI you did, I was so confused. Monarch's DNA was taken to make Mona, but Mona later turned into Monarch and AI sent her through a black hole to the past and she never really existed until the future because she had to have her DNA taken to make Mona...
Anyway. :U
A fascinating concept and a whole new way to think about this character. Amazing! You have quite a way with words you know ;D

Oh, no, Thymel's DNA was taken and mixed with Saik to make Mona |D That's where she gets her height and those grey eyes of hers. Sorry it's so confusing XD

Thank you c:> I do enjoy writing dramatically XD
