Description This is to be a Birthday gift to my younger sister. Still need to do a matting for it and framing, but I rather like how this turned out.

I had intended something much more comples and detailed, but I ended up with this. *chuckles*

Inspired by her massively favorite band AFI and their song (one of her favorites) Death Of Seasons. I had it on repeat almost the whole time I was doing this. I also admit to being a fan as well and suggest checking them out and really taking a listen to their music.


Of late, it's harder just to go outside
To leave this deadspace with hatred, so alive.
Writhing with sickness, thrown into banality, I decay
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return. Turn it off.

I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry.

Out there so quickly grows malignant tribes.
Posthuman extinction excels, unrecognized.
Feeling surrounded. So bored with mortality, I decay.
All of this hatred is f***ing real. Turn it on... yeah!

I watch the stars as they fall from the sky.
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying.
I feel the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry.

It won't be all right, despite what they say.
Just watch the stars tonight as they, as they disappear, disintegrate.
And I disintegrate, 'cause this hate is f***ing real.
And I hope to shade the world, as stars go out and I disintegrate.

...Will not be alright...
...Despite what they say...
...Just watch the sky...
...When stars go out...

It rather surprised me, but I really like how it turned out.
Thanks again.
Sadly, my monitor suffered the ink splatter, as I did the whole colouring job at my computer. I still have little black dots all along the front plastic casing.
