Description i am slowing down as the years go by
i am sinking

so i trick myself
like everybody else

the secrets i hide twist me inside
they make me weaker

so i trick myself
like everybody else

i crouch in fear and wait
i'll never feel again...
if only i could remember anything at all

lyrics by Robert Smith


the sinking woman is from e-stock . thanks.
rendered in Bryce, some additional tweaks added in PS.


the fullview is better .. well, durrhhh ...

Ohhhh wow.
You're incredibly lucky.
I'm only thirteen.
I've missed much of their career, been into them for two years.
It becomes an obsession, a lifestyle, almost.

should i feel as if i am a slimy breathed sea monster lurking in the depths, waiting for girls to fall?
i like how the sea seems to go on forever, and the waviness of the girl's form.

Offering In reply to im-diogenes [2006-03-23 00:06:40 +0000 UTC]

thanks .. the sea was the hard part. it was made in Bryce, again and again, until it looked like it wasn't made in Bryce. the waviness was easy, as that's just a PS filter called 'Ripple', tweaked to suit.

i may have explained, but when i was really young i was alone on the jetty down near Rosebud, and got menaced by a huge, snarling, tooth-baring dog, and i had to make a decision, death by dog, or, if i jumped into the water, death by drowning. i chose drowning. i came very close to jumping .. the dog's owner suddenly appeared, but only after i'd begun to imagine was drowning was going to feel like.

i would have jumped - dogs and I share a mutual hatred.

one time (on band camp) i came face-to-face with a security guard, in one hand he held a leash holding back this snarling dog, and in the other a gun pointing at me. i was more afraid of the dog.

yes. guns don't seem real, somehow. like i don't connect a shiny black thing with death.

i'm not sure how far underwater you have to be for natural light to disappear entirely .. i'm just guessing here.

Bark [2006-03-22 12:25:41 +0000 UTC]

beautiful! nice composition and excellent work with the water. i think the figure may be a shade too bright? it keeps me from believing that she's really underwater. other than that, flawless.

Offering In reply to Bark [2006-03-22 20:18:48 +0000 UTC]

you're right.
the problem is that light can only come from the top, but the viewer is looking from underneath.

I am only an imaginary boy when I remember to put on all my make up, though my mascara is annoying as it runs own so fast.
