Description
Lyrics from The Collector, by Nine Inch Nails.I pick things up, I am a collector.
And things, well things, they tend to accumulate.
I have this net, it drags behind me.
It picks up feelings for me to feed upon.
There are times, plenty of times I wish I could let it go,
But it's time to breed and it's time to grow inside me.
There are times, plenty of times I wish I could let it go,
But it's time to make me think, things I don't want to know.
I'm a Nine Inch Nails junkie. x3 I listened to this song this morning and this image crept into my brain. Very unusual picture for me, isn't it? I was going to have a bunch of different emotions in the net but I didn't know how to symbolize them. I tried, but the sketch was so light after I inked and started to color everything else(I put off the net for last) that people thought it was all broken hearts, because that was the biggest thing. So I changed it.
That description made it seem like this picture took a long time. NO. An hour and fifteen for the character and net, half an hour for the bg, and fifteen more at home for the hearts.
Two hours total. Quantity over quality. x3

See, now you're officially the coolest person ever and I have to half-assedly stalk you. I'm such a NIN junkie right now it's not even funny, and you seem to appreciate the greatness that is NIN.

Oh duuuude...I love it...it's really cool, in that hip goth/emo/punk/hardcore--oh fecking hell I don't know what they call these cliques. It's been a while since high school. At any rate, it's cool. I love the oversized chains and the shading...the SHADING...
I keep meaning to do some song piccies, but I can never just choose one pic. Bizarrely enough (is bizarrely even a word? It is now!), I want to make short, maybe 4- or 5-page _comics_ in which there's no dialogue save for little boxes with the song lyrics. I so want to do that...but I'm weird xp
But I digress. Excellent work. You RAWK! *stalks, giggling maniacally*

I think that comic thing would be cool. You should deffinately do it(after you draw a stick figure MLP for me!). About the group titles, I'm IN high school and I cant tell them apart. I just thought my friend Haley and Amanda would love the style, so I drew it. Amanda insists that she's her own style, and Haley is... I dunno. Satanist? o_O So the cliches are stupid. I haven't the slightest idea what anyone is nor do I care.

Yeh...my name comes from a rant I once gave to some friends about how silly all the cliques were. I mean, when the goth fad came around in...uh...I think it got really popular about five years ago...anyway, when it first appeared it was okay, but eventually _everyone_ was being a punk or a goth or something and wearing weird clothes and dyeing their hair, just to avoid conforming. But by being nonconformist, they WERE conforming to the nonconformist cliques. (Confused yet? 
The rant got such a good reaction that I decided to keep calling myself that. That night happened to be the night I got my dA account. I needed to come up with a name--and I'd just gained a new descriptor that day. Badabing! That's how I got my pseudonym.

Oh, my God, I'm sorry. I'm glad you can laugh about it, but...*shakes head* I am sooooo glad I didn't have to be in school for middle school.

Why, were you homeschooled? I was homeschooled my freshman year of highschool and I did about 5% of my work. I think my family and the educational system and the world has a whole has decided to forget that I existed in that year. I still have the books they lent me, and nobody's asked for them back. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. I was homeschooled right through 12th grade. And there were definitely a couple years when I did almost no work...

Speaking of great quotes, I heard that a friend-of-a-friend of mine got into a big discussion with someone about why men are so weird. Their brilliant conclusion:
"They are a simple folk."
I was dying of laughter when I heard that. It's so simple...but so true...in general...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XDDD That's a weird way of putting it but... so true.
Strangely, that reminds me of something Adam says. It doesn't really have much to do with it and it's sort of dirty, so be warned. Anyways. He says that what makes a woman orgasm is so complex, it's like the cockpit of a jet, whereas male orgasmic function is like a light switch.
Crude, but true. Thus lies the wisdom of Adam.

<_<;; This Adam person is obviously one of those muchly smart people. I've heard of them.

-snort- Most people wouldn't admit to Admam being smart. He hosts a show with girls on trampolines during the end credits. xD

I want to trade a nine year old for her non-boobs. Boobs suck. It's hard to put my arms out in front of me. I mean, what if I wanted to be a zombie for halloween? Huh? What then? T_T

O_O I totally am with you there. I'd trade with a nine year old any day.

Aww yay first comment! And it's adorable! Well the guy is, the burden dragging behind him seems to be a tad on the depressing side

Yeah, it's amazing how something with such a sad theme can be so frickin adorable. x3 Thank you so so much for the comment! I think that's the first time anyone's made a happy remark about getting first comment on one of my pics. It's not like there's a rush. So it's quite touching. ^_____^

Not a rush!? But your pictures are amazing o_O

Maybe it's just because I don't have very many veiwers, but I think i just need to improve more before anyone wants first comment on my arts. Thanks, though, that's really nice of you to say. ^^
