Description Cyclone, depicted in a surreal half and half world.
Inspired by the song by Evanescence- β€œImaginary”

Done for Kizzy's contest [link] ,
because DAMN if I couldn't help illustrating one of my favorite songs,
and one of my favorite Gals!

Anywho Kizz, hope ya like it ^^

Cyclone (C) to
Art is MINE X3

took me to sooooo long ;_;
BUT, worth every second I do beleive ^^

Imaginary:

Swallow it up for the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent night
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

I linger in the doorway
our alarm clock screaming monsters calling widening
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as there falling
tell there story

If you need to leave the world you live in
lay your head down and stay awake
though you may not remember dreaming
something waits for you to breath again

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

*raise hand* that's very very beautiful, I love the clock especially. But your lyrics are incorrect! Would you like the real ones? They are very good lyrics I think, it's one of my favourite songs. Amy Lee can be so damn hard to understand though @_@

What did you use to get that rusty/bloody look on the clock? It looks fabo.

*giggles at the hand raising, and tips her teachers glasses down a bit, to peer* Mmmm? Oh, thank you dear.oh and the lyrics were just taken off a lyrics finder page *shrugs* And they get the idea across well enough. Thanks tho hun ^^
And as for the look to the clock, I just used a little bit of water color. Sienna and Terra Cotta just washed over in splotches ^^

I love the dream-like quality to this and how the two halves seem divided by more of a tear or instability rather than a clean, balanced cut. In this case, I felt the tear appearance works very well for the confliction of the desire for the imaginary realm and the inescapable anchor to reality. More specifically on the realms, with the imaginary one I like how the flowers came out in the rolling field of swirling substance and the dark tones of the purple sky with misty lavender clouds. I definitely agree with Kizzy when she noted how you’ve incorporated parts of the song into it. That was very nicely done.

With the reality half, I like how it’s depicted as a bleak, desolate wasteland with gray skies, and the single, dead tree in the distance was a nice touch too. I also thought it was really cool how the clock came out with the warped appearance of its hand and how the dirty, smudgy, cracked quality of the clock fits nicely with the symbolism of reality. Realms aside, the final part is Cyclone herself. I love the emotion she portrays as she tries to escape from the pain of the wasteland, and at the same time, how she longs for the realm of amethyst skies.

Very beautifully done Wylde and there’s your small book for ya.

You had said you were proud of this when we talked and DANG with good reason girlie- this is stunning!
I love the background and the way you’ve incorporated bits of the song into it, the movement in this is wonderful too- beautiful

Kizzy, you just inspire me to really push myself. Plus I just seem to really like putting Cy in places, that I think work well for her. First it was the water tree, and the weird bg, and now this. If I keep drawing her, I'm gonna end up being a whiz at bg's X3




LMAO...you know, I think this is also the first contest I finished before the deadline X3...I usually get done, weeks after the stupid things end x3
