Description In any other world
You could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl
Into broken remnants

Smile like you mean it
And let yourself let go

'Cause it's all in the hands,
of a bitter, bitter man,
Say goodbye to the world
you thought you lived in.

Take a bow,
play the part
of a lonely, lonely heart

Say goodbye to the world
you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

I tried to live alone
But lonely is so lonely, alone
So human as I am
I had to give up my defenses

So I smiled and tried to mean it
To make myself let go

Say goodbye to the world
you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in.....
Mika - Any Other World

I've spent quite a while on this, I really wanted to put a lot of effort into it. I did just about everything myself in this picture apart from the grass on the right and the butterflies and the trees in the distance. I even did the grass on the 'Dark Side' and the lightning! Lightning's really easy to do as well!
I've decided that my works should express my feelings rather than just be there for art's sake. So I think my works will take a bit longer to do, but they'll be much better.

That's so lovely - the determined, worried expression on her face is very good - and the change in environment is beautifully done! Several layers to a piece is always a great thing

Equinus In reply to Crazy-Sparkles [2008-02-11 13:59:07 +0000 UTC]

aw thankies sweetie!! Yeh, its really easy! You simply draw shaky lines like lightning, and then use the motion blur tool, but not too much, just a little bit, and it looks really cool!

Beautiful picture as usual Equinus!
I love how you put butterflies into most all of your pictures. It makes some of your most gloomiest pictures look hopeful.
And you can always tell that the picture was made by you. Its sorta like your signature. : D

Very neat- I like the contrast between the two sides of the drawing, and Travieso's expression and posture. It really gives more depth into the picture.

Awesome work!

Ashzoi [2008-02-06 18:56:19 +0000 UTC]

I really like the lightning effect you've used! And the composition is nice as well... dark sad rain storm barren waste land, and then bright and sunny grassland. Very cool I find the butterflies to be somewhat distracting because of their vibrancy in contrast to the rest of the image, but that's just me Over all, I like it!

Equinus In reply to Ashzoi [2008-02-07 06:30:46 +0000 UTC]
