Description Björk - Play Dead

Darling, stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
don't you understand?
I have to go through this
I belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves
No light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear

I play dead
it stops the hurting
I play dead
and hurting stops

It's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

I play dead
it stops the hurting

This is something quite different from what I normally draw, but I had this image in my head while listening to Play Dead by Björk, a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. I've known this song for about 7 years now, I think. I used to listen to The Rasmus' version a lot.
Used a few reference images for this one:

And a texture for the bedsheets. I'm not great at drawing fabric (I can sketch clothes but the shading is a bit hard).

Photoshop CS2, Medion tablet, 2 hours (?)

Heh, The Rasmus. Good times.
That aside; it looks good. It is a bit of a shame you used a texture for the bedsheets to be honest, though, it does fall slightly out of tone with the rest of the image because of it. However other than that I think it all works together well .

I usually draw the background after I've drawn the character, and by that time I'm usually bored so I just do something simple xD It's a shame maybe, I get what you mean. Anyway, thanks for the comment, and to be totally random: [link] This game rocks. It's so relaxing.

I understand, though. One gets tired after intense work, only natural.
And yes.. it is very relaxing.

I'm playing it with my eyes closed now (only the first level though xD)
