Description Girls like me don't understand how we wind up Siamese twins
Connected at the neck; when you breathe out, our bodies breathe in.
Girls like me don't talk about who's really in control
For when your mouth is open, we can see right down that hole.
For all you know of skin and bones, of muscles, brain, and heart
Can you not learn the distance when we stand so close apart?
Girls like me have given up on lending out our eyes
For if and when you give them back, they've shrunk another size.
Your tiny tweezer hands are so precise, but cold as steel.
And girls like me are sick of being flesh they touch, but never feel!
For all you know of nervous systems, organs and insides
Has science taught you nothing of what's underneath the hide?
Girls like me can trace the shadows as they fade away
Running from the sun and dying at the end of days.
Girls like me can shed your body, lose this extra weight
We'll CUT YOUR THROAT if that's what it will take for twins to separate!
Separate
Separate
Separate..."


This is something that's been in my head for awhile, and after being mutually dismayed at the most recent Silent Hill ... uh, 'news' (recasting all the voices for SH2 and SH3. Hint: the ones released are already horrible), and I decided to both try and do something SH2 and/or SH3-related to cheer ourselves up.

Of course, this is more... uh, Blackbirds-based than strictly SH3-based, but SCREW THE POLICE I can draw my crazy symbolic fanfiction crap if I wanna!

Heather/Alessa is (c) Konami.

Lyrics from "G.L.M." are (c) Thoushaltnot.

I wonder if there's a fan fiction based on you're art piece.

It's based on my own fanfic ideas, but if anyone did write something inspired by it, that would be pretty neat!

You're very welcome!

Thoushaltnot is fantastic, a lot of their music has a very Silent Hill-y vibe to it. Check out more if you can, you'll probably like it.

Aw man, I don't even really know what to write right now. sfgsajkfsfffffffff.
This actually has to be on of the best pictures I've seen in a while, of Heather/Alessa! <3

Oh wow, I love Alessa's mask a lot, seeing as I have a huge thing for skulls, bahaha.
I really love the colouring on her outfit too, and I really love how both their hair looks.

Absolutely stunning artwork! Keep up the great work!

And yes, basically-- It's sort of supposed to be ink, but somewhere down the line in the metaphorical drawings it started looking more like wax or mud or tar or something.

The details are just excellent (I especially like Alessa's mask), and the image in general is pretty gruesome - which is great. Alessa's skin is scary.
Maybe the blood on Heather's shoulders was a bit too much, but that's nitpicking because I love the whole picture.

But awh man, thank you so much!

And HAHA I sort of thought the same thing about the blood as well, but it's sort of part of the symbolism (in keeping with all the SH fic bird crap I draw all the time, Heather is supposed to be connected to the red-winged blackbird ), otherwise I wouldn't have included it. XD

Uggghhhh, every time I see the art you do for your concept here, I always wonder what it's all about. It's so interesting! You should pass me a link to it sometime.

As for the drawing itself, it's SUPER awesome! I just adore how you paint. Not to mention you're drawing style in general is very appealing to look at. Can't get over it. >8V Damn that talent of your's!

... Oh shoot, I need to get my rear in gear about doing that painting... I DID start on something though so I'll have it up soon enough. School willing, of course.
Maybe I'll just spam dA with some old SH junk I have till then... We'll see.

phantastus In reply to PumpkinSoup [2011-08-28 08:25:09 +0000 UTC]

Awh, thank you! That's really flattering-- all the bird crap is related to a fanfic I'm writing (WHICH IS REALLY AN INCREDIBLY LAME THING TO SAY ABOUT A CONCEPT, I should probably be embarrassed). Currently the only writing that's actually like... UP is from "Gravity", which is the prequel and doesn't really have much to do with the bird stuff I draw all the time yet. But please feel free to read it, it's over here . There's eight chapters written and it's currently being edited, because hot damn did it need some pruning.

ANYWAY. Thank you, again! That really means a lot to me!

By the way, I definitely support spamming old SH junk. BY ALL MEANS.

Oh pish posh! You shouldn't be embarrassed! It looks like a super neat concept. It's just the word "fanfictions" makes it seem that way. I think you should just call it a story or something instead.
Aw... Well, I'll have to start digging into those writings of your's then when I got the time! Then I'll have to tell you what I think! -bookmarks Gravity page- I'm sure it's awesome!

Hey, no problem!

XD I GUESS I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND. I just might be slow about it because I am embarrassed as hell to upload anything SH related because I feel like I draw it waaayyy too much. XD My dA might not show it but my Tegs account and sketchbook does. I often stop myself from drawing those things just so people don't think I'm too... I DON'T KNOW. I JUST GET THAT WAY.

But yeah, 'fanfiction' is a pretty juvenile word. XD Fan-work might be better.

But wow, hey, I'd definitely love to hear your thoughts on it if/when you get the time to read it! It's a work in progress at the moment obviously, but I'm going to be shooting for finishing it as much as possible this November!

And PFFFF I feel that way too sometimes, like people will judge me for drawing NOTHING BUT SILENT HILL, but then I remember that SILENT HILL IS FUN so then I upload all the things. 8D

BWAH! I, uh... Oops. I left you hanging for a month too. D8 My bad! I'm sorry!

That does sound MUCH better. Defiantly. -nodnod-

I've read the first chapter in my spare time and I just cannot get over how in character you've written it and every detail makes everything come to life very easily. Not to mention that as I read it, I could picture an animation in YOUR style. Ugh, I envy your writing and drawing capabilities! D:
Well, hey, I may be able to get through the other chapters before then now that I have some spare time... You should let me know when your done with it in case I forget to check.

XD Man, I wish I had confidence like that. Maybe someday I will... But for now, I am pretty damn paranoid about uploading all the things.
Though I'm really glad you have that confidence! I can't help but smile at the things you put up! They are also inspiring. So, yeah! You got some really neat stuff there!

HAHAHA IT'S OKAY, WE CAN BE TERRIBLE AT COMMENTING ON TIME TOGETHER. I really need to just stop letting messages pile up/

And-- oh gosh, I'm really glad you feel that way! Especially about the animation-- I won't lie, aside from just plain old illustrating, I definitely picture the events playing out as though they were an animated movie when I write. XD; SO IT'S NICE TO KNOW that the writing does its job well enough that other people see that too!
I try my best to post updates in my DA journal whenever I make a significant upload-- currently I'm in the process of editing the existing stuff in addition to forging ahead, and I just finished editing Chapter 2 (boy did it need it, lemme tell ya!). But yeah, man, I'd definitely love to hear what you think about the rest if you ever get the chance to read it!

HAHA well, after awhile you just start NOT CARING. I do a lot of non-personal artwork for school, so when I get the chance to draw for pleasure, I sort of kicked myself into accepting that I should do whatever's fun, and ... Silent Hill is fun.
But seriously, thank you so much. The same goes to you too, you know-- your stuff is absolutely lovely.

Duality, muck, rotting... words that came to mind as soon as I saw this. FREAKING AWESOME!
The darkness in the eye holes of Alessa's mask and the bright of Heather's. Just another example of awesome that is this image.

I just learned how to use the clapping icon... here's a audience of them for you, you deserve it!

They need to put their energy into making NEW games. Going back and getting their sticky fingers all over the originals does nothing but make fans of the stories and characters angry. XD

But I've done my fair share of ranting about it... I'll be sticking with the original characters, thanks... Not the new personalities that the RADICALLY DIFFERENT voices give them.

This is WONDERFUL, Kit! I've loved the theme of this picture since the first WIP. The composition is great and your coloring here is so goood! I love letting my eyes wander all over and finding something new to look at! I will always love BIRDMETAPHORHEATHER but Alessa is my favorite part of this, I think! Her skin came out amazing and her wilder hair makes her look feral and very 'old god'.
