Artist's Comments

READ FIRST PLZ:

This is not an attack on Atheism, I myself am an Atheist. It is merely an interpretation by a 15 year old of a song by their favourite band kthxbai

*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~

Eerie whispers trapped beneath my pillow
Won't let me sleep, your memories

And I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between, where our worlds collide

And it scares the Hell outta me
And the end is all I can see

I know the moment's near, and there's nothing you can say
Look through a faithless eye, are you afraid to die?


Thoughts of a dying Atheist By Muse, my fav band ^_^

*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~*~,,~

While listening to this song, I gradually built up an image of someone in a cold, dark room, feeling scared and alone. I imagined bare, damp, dirty walls and a bed that would appear to want to be comfortable but failing miserably. I thought of how this song portrays how if an Atheist becomes scared of what they don't beleive in, they would still turn away from the light, the open window, and would never let faith wash away their lonliness, in the rainwater. This person eventually mutated into a girl who, despite having almost angelic looks, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, and having smart, clean clothes, looks and no doubt feels alone and frightened. Insecure and lost, she clings to her school tie, the only thing in the world that makes her feels like she is part of something.

Of course, she isn't alone.
She heard the eerie whispers.
She heard them sigh.
But can you see them floating inbetween, where our worlds collide?

:faint: OMG HOW LONG HAS THIS TAKEN?!?

:o about a month, that's how long :wtf:

:omfg: I finally got the girl right!! :w00t: She still looks better on paper though X3 And I was really proud of the BG when I first had it done, I used loads of different brushes on it, and now I'm starting to think I over-did it a little ^^; I'm chuffed with my tartan too :D

Brushes courtesy of Echoica.net Brushes. Michelle, who owns the site, was kind enough to give me special permission to use them for DA, so don't go around using them without asking or giving any credit for them.

Inspiration for the room probably came from [link] You can see the similarities but I just drew what I felt about the song :shrug:

This is a really good drawing and i really like the techniques you are using to do, for example, the rain outside the window, and the way the window light up some of the wall.

You really feel the feeling she may have when you look at her.

Good job, deff. one of your best!

Wow! Such atmosphere and feeling =D

You've portrayed how the girl feels really well, and the really simple touches and the rain and lighting on the wall and the sort of figure shape there too.

It's amazing! I think the textures and everything are great. Love it loads! :+Fav: ^^

The picture is really awsome. Yove done an exellent job on the lighting, which gives the pic a really erry dark feel to it. The sublty of the ghostly figure in the bg is really well achieved how did you do that?
Great pic^^

Oh thanks :D I drew a really basic looking girl in openCanvas, then put her linework into Photoshop and filled it in with the basic colours, no shading. Then I merged the layers and set it to 'screen' and the opacity to about 3. Then I copied her eyes and put them into another layer ontop, so they stood out more, and merged those two layers. Then I gave the whole layer an 'outer glow' effect so she stood out more, but not too much ^_^
