Description - Love, Don't Let Me Go.

My entry for this contest . I really... really need to practice on my backgrounds. It took me forever - it was a lot harder than I thought it would be (I am nearly lost when it comes to Photoshop - look at my AWESOME blending!) I kinda didn't know what I was doing with the shadows and all that. But I tried. I might try to mess with it some more before the contest deadline though.

Song: Life in Technicolor ii by Coldplay

There's a wild wind blowing down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing
There's a cold war coming on the radio, I heard
Baby, it's a violent world

Oh love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I could hear rain coming, I could hear the sirens sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Time came a-creeping, oh, and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on, time only can lead you on
Still, it's such a beautiful night

Oh love, don't let me go
Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I can hear rain coming, like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Gravity, release me
And don't ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Drawn, scanned, then colored and put together in Photoshop.

Whoa. This makes me think of a Ween song called "Transdermal Celebration."

You should totally look it up - it's awesome.

This is really cool to look at, and I wish you luck!

You're very welcome.

TRANSDERMAL CELEBRATION

CAUSED A SLIGHT MUTATION IN THE RIFT

IT TOPPLED DOWN A NATION

LEFT THE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THE HILLS

BUT THE MUTANTS THAT I SEE SHINE THE BEAUTY UNTO ME

I WISH YOU COULD SEE THEM

For some reason, I am reminded of The Thief of Always by Clive Barker (which I just finished today! ). This is a very, very good thing, because that book was graaaand, as are all his books.

I think you did a really swell job!

Haha, now I have to look the book up.

Thanks a lot for the comment and fav!

That smiley has nothing to do with anything... but I like it.

It's actually supposed to be a... "young adult" book, but it was written more intelligently than most of the "adult novels" that I've read. Clive Barker is a cool cat.

You're very welcome!
