Give me time to reason,
give me time to think it through
Passing through the season,
where I cheated you
I will always have a cross to wear,
but the bolt reminds me I was there
So give me strength,
to face this test tonight
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night. For the night.
Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience,
Will drill a hole in you
I seen it coming like a thief in the night,
I seen it coming from the flash of your light
So give me strength,
to face this test tonight
~Turn Back Time by Aqua

Uggh, all I can really say right now is FINALLY THIS IS DONE! *celebrates and collaspes*
So story behind this is ... well, I came across a user lookup on Neopets that had music on it, and it happened to be a song I knew and by a band I've know just as along as the Spice Girls (or when I knew how to work a cd player). Aqua, a cool band that I listened to all the time as a kid. Don't know who they are? You know that song "Barbie Girl"? Yeah, they are the original band who sung it. Well, to my knowledge. Anyways, I remembered there was a slow song that I never really listened to before called "Turn Back Time". So I take out their CD from my old collection, pop it in and listened to it.
Oh my god, in the middle of the song it made me cry. How I grow attached to songs is I relate myself to the song as much as a can and this one seemed to break me perfectly.
Listening to the song about a hundred more times, I started to draw this up. After a while my cd player's batteries died so I switched over to listening to Trance Techno Dance music to keep the inspiration flowing. Man o' man, that bench was the devil itself. I couldn't get it to look right, but it turned out great! Best part is, I didn't even use a ref. *boogies?* But, the lineart itself took areally long time and I was pretty happy I was done with that. Showing it off to a couple of friends to see their reactions (usually I do that to see if my drawing is worthly of coloring or not), everyone was impressed and so, yesterday (well, not really yesterday seeing how it's now Friday ... so Wednesday) I started to color but I was so tired and stressed out to finish it. So today, after I got rid of James, I finished coloring it.
Jesus, I was so happy when I finished it and wanted to submit. But ...
1) Monsoon came ... Mom requested the computers to be turned off due to lightning (we've been having some kick ass storms lately).
2) I needed to do my DA ID.
So now it's 3AM and I want to submit this for you all to see. Yes.
Well, here's the reason why I did the picture. Uhm ... I don't like waiting too much. I hate sitting in a docter's office for hours and hours, just waiting for something. But I can handle waiting, actually, I'm pretty patient cause I know that after a long wait, something good is bound to happen (unless you have a really bad illness ... but still good things can happen). And right now I'm kinda waiting for something important ... ._. but don't be so damn nosey! *twhacks*
Plus, looky at my horoscope from August 1st ...
You're the next big thing -- really! So if you're feeling impatient, try to hold on for just a little longer -- the stars are working hard to get everything lined up just right for you and your big debut.
So, hopefully my horoscope will be nice to me and stuff like. >_>;
Symbolism in the picture ... uh the pocket watch (OMG I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT) is suppose to be time going on by, the tall grass in the background (last thing added since the background was empty) shows how long a wait can be. Though I don't know why the grass around the bench and tree are cut ... maybe the girl got bored one day and used that knife to mow the lawn or something. The flower is suppose to be happiness at the end of a long wait, the knife in the heart carved into the tree shows how I don't like waiting (I'M SORRY TREE I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU BLEED! *hugs it*) and that's really it I can see.
I know the tree is so cheap. I didn't feel like doing self-texturing so I used a pattern tool. SUE ME. Originally I was going to have willow branches hanging down but that didn't happy. I love the clouds, they look so real (to me) and I just wanna ... hop in them and sleeeeeeepsleep.
Speaking of sleep, I should go to bed. It's 3:15AM ... ~_~; *hops into the clouds and sleeps*
Lineart, coloring done in drawn/color with Tablet in Open Canvas 1.1
Lineart = appox. 4-5 hours
Color = appox. 5-6 hours
(not including breaks)
Texture effect in tree in Paint Shop Pro 7
Inspired by "Turn Back Time" by Aqua, "Another Perfect Day" by Daysend and Trance Techno Dance music.
