“Black Hole Sun, won’t you come
and wash away the rain?
Black Hole Sun, won’t you come,
Won’t you come?” – Soundgarden.

As a disclaimer, I don’t even like the above song. (I don’t hate it though! ) The last time I heard it was when I was 9 years old. I don’t remember what it sounds like. But for some inane reason, I never forgot the title of the song when I first saw its video clip and for some even more inane reason, I never forgot the lyrics to the chorus either. WHAT THE HECK???? O____O;;; So then, somehow a song which I never liked and which I can hardly even remember was to inspire a pic ten years down the track. Go figure. *Shrugs and is curious about her mind’s priorities* __

Anyway, as mentioned above, this is ’s Phoenix character Twhich, appearing late but then again, I’m always late so what’s new… Some of you might be thinking that the foreground looks familiar, and you think correctly – when Matirx7 told me that a story she’s working on was inspired by my pic ‘Once around Yggdrasil’, I decided to revisit the idea and include Yggdrasil in this trade pic. The only difference is that I drew Yggdrasil with flowers this time, and if you look closely, there are stars in those flowers, but er… they didn’t come out very well. -__- Damn you Dodge tool, you let me down!

The Black Hole Sun was a weird idea, which is why it turned out looking… well, weird – the way I put it in the pic isn’t supposed to be realistic (and what does a Black Hole Sun look like anyway?), which is why it looks like it’s 2D in form by the way the clouds appear at the front and back of it. There isn’t any light source coming from it by the way, so er, just call it a big flat shadow which looks suspiciously like a spider, but that’s to be expected due to all the spider outbreaks happening in my house lately! *Squashes the eight legged sun with a broom* In part, it was also inspired by the info that Matirx7 told me about Twhich, who has the ability to control black fire. My interpretation was a bit way out and quite frankly I don’t know if Twhich could (or would) control something like a Black Hole Sun, but you’re welcome to develop the idea if you want, Matirx7! ^__^;

This was also the first time I’ve ever tried a rain effect and I’m pleased with the way it turned out because I wasn’t expecting it to work. (Oh ye of little faith… XD) Making the lightning was fun too, so I’ve found other things to play around with apart from blinding shinies! Anyway, I want to try and make this description shorter than the ones I’ve written lately so I’d better sign out now… enjoy your pic , and thankyou again for the pic that you drew for me! A phoenix for a phoenix!
