Description
This is my entry for =rainylake 's Musically Inspired Contest .
This artwork is inspired by "The Scientist" by Coldplay . I'm so in love with that song.
When I'm inspired by music it's either that a song is so beautiful/moving/etc. that I need to draw something right that instant, or (not that often with me) I get a certain picture in my head and need to draw that. With this song it was the latter - warm colours, a warm atmosphere, a beautiful girl in a summer breeze~
The song itself also kind of motivated me to experiment with a lot of different textured brushes, and it was so much fun trying stuff out! I think I'm going to experiment more in the future.
And yeah, I'm aware that the lyrics are kind of depressing, but somehow the music itself made me see this warm, happy picture in my mind nevertheless.
Have the lyrics, because they are just awesome:
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Just like the user below I immediately listened to the Scientist. The face has such a serene feel to it and it matches the music quite well, the orange line work really stands out well. I like it!

as soon as i read coldplay, i went to my music and played The Scientist to admire this.
And it fits so great, the colors is what strikes me the most, everything is beautiful but the colors really made me feel the feeling of the song

Coldplay is just super-awesome. All their songs are brilliant.
This is a really beautiful portrait. The warm colours are gorgeous and I love the way her 'dress' sort of flows and kind of melts into the background. Her features are wonderfully delicate, and I like her elegant pose. The textures in this piece are also really nice.

You know, this is an amazing piece of art. Just looking at it makes me all warm inside. And despite the text being dramatically sad, I think it really fits the picture. The song talks about wanting to go back to the start and that nothing speaks as loud as the heart - and I think you captured that perfectly here. The soft, glowing quality of the picture, the colour-scheme, the 'nackedness', the closed eyes and her emotional expression,... it just all fits together really well. It's the kind of art that I look at and that makes me feel like smiling. If that truely is what comes out when you experiment, than I second that you should do it more often. Thank you very much for sharing it with us

Awww, this is the nicest comment I've recieved in a while.
Your words always make me smile somehow, thank you so much!

I feel bad about how less I'm commenting here, especially recently. There are many, many things in your galery that I need to praise and that will be praised... I'm just really slow. So uh. I will stay tuned. And I will then comment as soon as possible, for once <3 Because If my comments make you happy, then it's only a tenth of what your art does for me <3

Please don't worry about it. I'm always happy to see I got a new comment from you, but I myself am veery slow with commenting nowadays, so yeah.

Very nice painting, although I find it a bit strange because the painting looks happy, yet the song makes me feel depressed xD

Thank you! Yeah, it is a little strange. It's the same with me actually, the music alone makes me feel warm and happy somehow, but the lyrics are kind of depressing.
