Artist's Comments


yep. finished this at last.
First one for the album project. [link]
(mine's the Matches: Decomposer)

Also, you may find it interesting to view this: [link]
Drawn to the same song, with the same character, almost a year ago to date. My style has changed quite a lot in that little time... and so has Nilla, I suppose. I hope for the better.

Also, if you're wondering what on earth the TVs have to do with this song and didn't see me link to this in my previous picture, I reccommend that you watch this:

Salty Eyes by the Matches.
Do you belong to a song?
Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs?
Are you drunk?
Have you been drinking?
Do you below the overpass go with a fifth in your fist
reminiscing the kiss of a love that just didn't love as much as you did?

Please don't give up, dear walls
don't let the ceiling fall
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.

Shrill notes begin, the grim violin
then from the silence a violence of sirens orchestrate the score
to which one more corpse is left quiet
How we become the hollows of drums
the rests between notes, the hollers that never reach throats
"friends" in quotes, they're not calling

Please don't give up, dear you
I'm but the sliver moon sliding through
when you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.

Do please believe, however naive
let it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs
and belong, salty eyes

When you belong to a song, salty eyes,
You belong.


It's been great wasting my efforts on you for the past 7 months. I bet she's amazing, better than I ever was. :]
It's all right though. At least I used this as fuel to create something. Emotion is great for artistic motivation.




right, media:
faber castell india ink pens, a little markers, a LOT of watercolor... on regular typing paper, which is REALLY annoying to watercolor on, a little white acrylic. And the moon is cut out of this music notes fabric I have and glued on. The paper kinda got torn there too... ooops. haah.
summary: TYPING PAPER= BAD IDEA.
oh, also, the lavender area in the background was put in in photoshop to make the white area less boring.

oh, and download for fullsize pleeeeeeeeeaase. :]

I can't say that I don't miss your old style -
because I do...
But this looks completely phenomenal, Nilla.
You inspire me SO MUCH.

I'd give anything to be able to
work with watercolors like that. ;;

What kind of watercolors do you use, anyway?

Amazing job. :+favlove:

BTW. That guy, that you talked about in those 2 sentences after the lyrics. You deserve better than someone that flys in and out of love without a second thought. Just thought I'd say so.
