"Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
[Chorus:]
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses
I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
[Chorus x2]
Whispers in the dark [x3]"

Unf. Look at those hands *^* Look at them.
This, of course, for anyone who watches Gotham, is a young Jonathan Crane protectively hugging a young Mandy Robertson. Now the idea for this mostly revolved around the rping I've done with someone rping as a young Jonathan Crane. Mandy's always been quite shy and introverted, but especially so when she was just a small young thing. She struggled to make friends and was taught to not talk to strangers - even though we all know that's the only way to make friends. Yet somehow, when she meets Jonathan, she feels comfortable with him. Yes, she was at first nervous and uncomfortable, but she's warmed up to him and this is what's happened. They've grown very close, and maybe a bit more than friends at this point. She feels safe with him, and Jonathan will do anything to keep her safe.
As I see it, a part of me kept on envisioning a part in an rp I did with a young JC, Gerald Crane, and Harvey Dent which involved Mandy accidentally falling victim to Jonathan's father and getting a good dose of fear. Back at Jonathan's place, while Gerald goes to make an antidote, Harvey shows up and wants to speak with Gerald, especially when he sees the state Mandy's in. Jonathan - being a close friend to Mandy and feeling a bit overprotective - immediately gets in front of Mandy and refuses to let Harvey take her away. Yes, it was a bit of a different position than I have them in in this drawing, but still, the thought was a very sweet and powerful one, in my opinion. It just goes to show how much they care for each other and how two outcasts - individuals who thought they were alone and beginning to think love didn't matter - came together and will stick up for the other because "freaks stick together".
ANYWAYS enough of that. Enough ScareFace talk *cough*even though they're not Scarecrow or Dollface yet. Once again, I had to give it a go at drawing a real person, and let me tell you, it wasn't easy, but then again, since when is it? And look at those hands! Look at them! I actually drew perfect hands (this is why using reference pictures are SOOOOO good to have)!!! Now, what I was going for with this one was two things: 1) To demonstrate how protective Jonathan is of Mandy and 2) to have him staring directly at us, basically giving us a look that says "She's mine. Touch her and I'll make you regret it". I had such a STRUGGLE with his face, I swear. It kept on coming out far too mature, and I tried so hard to try and make him look young. Urgh! Finally, I just settled on this, the final outcome. But I'm not complaining
Songs that inspired me for this one were "My Demons" by Starset, "Whispers in the Dark" by Skillet, and "Pain" by Three Days Grace. I kept on thinking just how much pain and suffering Mandy's been through, and how once she met Jonathan, all her troubles and worries just seemed to fade and become forgotten.
Now, on just one last note, being that this is a Gotham-related drawing (just like the ones I did with Ivy and Selina, and with Harvey), this doesn't fall into Mandy's actual timeline. She never went to Gotham when she was younger, she moved there when she was 21. So as I see it, any drawings I do involving the Gotham universe, is more of an alternative reality. It's a what-if scenario, basically. Of what would've been if she had gone to Gotham when she was younger.
