Artist's Comments

In This Twilight

Watch the Sun
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like
Like it was a friend
If it's watching us
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder
If it feels the same?

And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As the time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
We can find a better place
In this twilight

Dust to dust
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person?
If I could only
Do it all again

But the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
We will find a better place
In this twilight

Nine Inch Nails



This one was in the works for well over a year, on and off.

I fell in love with the song the minute I heard it, and really wanted to illustrate the metaphorical (or is it?) end of the world. That place where you feel there's nothing left to do but watch as the world around you comes crumbling down.

I think it may be my best piece of work, at least technically, and I learned a lot while painting it.

Hope you like it as much as I do. :)

Once again you suprise us with a great piece of work. This reminds another ilustration of a Nine Inch Nails song you did but this one is way better than the other. It just shows us how much you keep getting better. You are perfect in what you do. You don't just draw a place crumbling down around someone, you draw all the little details, even things some of us might not actually notice. I love the rain, it's beautiful. Congratulations on this one :)

Thank you so very much! :D

I love the song, it's very strange but beautiful. Too bad it's kinda short. =P

I can waste hours messing around with textures just for fun, and this one was a great piece to apply what I had learned from playing with them. :)

Thank you very much for the comment and the favorite! :hug:

I'm happy that my improvement is noticeable, and glad you noticed it. :D

Thank you very much for the nice comment and favorite. :smooch:

My pleasure!

You must work very large to get all that neat detail in. I've got a monitor on order (an Eizo), which should help me with this. My (sub-compact) laptop screen is frustratingly small and spoils the flow of my strokes, etc.

I'm getting ready for photoshop, but I have more messing around to do with the free/ cheap software first.:)

I did print several of my learning pieces and I'm having them framed up. I'll put one or two in the instructor's show next month. It will be the only digital art in the gallery! I'm such a radical.:D

My screen is regular-sized, I think. I used to have a very small one which made painting very hard, but my new one is a lot better. Not huge, but a great improvement over the old one.

I've tried GIMP once (when I messed up my Windows activation thingie and had to use Linux for a while), and it seemed like a great Photoshop clone. I've been using PS for a long time, since a teacher of mine got me a copy. I've gotten used to it, but I'd love to try Painter, too.

I've been wanting to frame pieces of mine too, but haven't yet. I printed a couple of them for school, but nothing more.

Also, congrats on being the only digital artist in the gallery! :D Dunno if it's a local problem, but I've noticed that most people around here don't see digital art as art at all. There are countless drawing, painting, sculpting, etc galleries, but nothing regarding digital stuff. It's a shame, really.
