Finally, another picture with an actual landscape background! xD


I've been working on this for... a few weeks now, on and off. FINALLY I had the time to finish it today. :]

So, I wasn't quite happy with Shidow's design, so I made a few minor changes. [And Dei's design will be like this too, except in inverse.]

Also, I figured he needed to look way more... emaciated. I think the anatomy is pretty exaggerated though. And his right back leg is probably bent a bit too low. And if gravity existed in this, he'd probably fall on his face. But eh well. xD

I used two different programs on this- Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop pro 9, which got me yesterday. o:

So, I did a lot of experimenting on the background, as you can kinda tell.



If you happened to guess by the title, this was supposed to go along with The Music Of The Night, from The Phantom of the Opera. Well, Shidow is the wolf of night, so it makes sense. ;D

Night time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you ...
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night ...

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you
long to be !
Only then can you belong to me ...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savor each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night ...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night.

SO.
Enjoy. ♥
