Description I never believed that there was a rainbow
With a pot of gold at the end
I'm much too smart for fairy tales like that
Yet here I am again
I thought this time, this time we're gonna make it
Why I thought so I really don't know
Maybe something in his eyes just told me so
Something in his eyes...

Tell me lies
And I'll come runnin'
I must have lost my mind!
I could close me eyes
And tell you just exactly what's comin'
Life's gonna turn just a little unkind...

"Tell Me Lies"- Sawyer (Cat's Don't Dance) [link]

This picture is really quite old! Started it on the 5th May. I remember that I'd just finished watching "Cats don't Dance" (brilliant film and the animation is great!) on Youtube and was so inspired, I had to draw some fanart, but only got round to adding the background and finishing it now. Haven't done digital art properly in ages, it was fun. (:

So this is Sawyer and she's a really cool bean. Definitely my favourite character and she's so different from all the other female heroines and I love her voice. I tried to incorporate the film's style when I first started the picture, but when I finished it today, I changed it and made the lines thicker and did different buildings so I like it a whole lot better. See, I do backgrounds sometimes! Even if you probably wouldn't even call that a background. d: But anyway, I like to think this is good, because my sister told me she liked it, which happens very rarely. xD

This movie is so under appreciated! *sigh*

This is just lovely, though. You really capture the emotion and feel of both the moment and the movie!

I love this picture, I did a search for it on youtube and I've been inspired to do some fanart myself! Love the movie, especially this song! It's great to watch an animation that -isn't- disney because you do notice the differences, the style of drawing for one and the voices of the actors are different, rather than the "disney voices."
Stunning piece of work, how did you get the colours to blend without smudging them? I always struggle with that.
I'll add you to my watch list

Thank-you so much for the lovely and well thought out comment. (: Don't get many of those!

That's exactly why I love the film; it's so different and original. I love Sawyer's voice.

I'm really not sure how I got them to blend, I did add shading and blurred the shading but then mucked around with the contrast and colour settings. Sorry I can't be much help!

The film is supposed to take place in 1939. Hollywood's "Golden Age". I really like this. I like seeing fanart done in the artists, or an alternate style than the movies.

<3 I love this movie-- I want the soundtrack.

Hey it reminds me of the James Tailor song: "Tell me lies, But hold me tight..."
Great picture!

Oh wow, I love this! I like the style and the feel of it if that makes sense. The whole standing under the street lamp look is awesome. I've not seen the film...I'll add it to my "to watch" list.
