Okay so I decided to make an art piece with the song "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol in mind. I think a little backstory behind these characters is necessary, so here we go: I'm writing a novel about six children who each possess elemental powers. I'm not going to go through each of them, but Cecelia (left) and Eric (right) are water and earth, respectively. As they grow more comfortable learning to use their elemental powers, the bond between the characters grows as well. Although nothing romantic /really/ happens between them, I still ship them :). Eric has a small crush on Celia but never admits it, but he hints at it many a time. Celia sees him as just a good friend, and he's happy to just settle with that. Snow Patrol described this song as being a metaphor about dogs: they chase cars down the street, they know they'll never catch them, and even if they did, they wouldn't know what to do with them. I feel like that kind of describes the relationship between the characters :) The scene I'm depicting in this picture is a part where Eric takes Celia aside and, together, they create a little alcove out of nature (kinda hard to describe tbh, basically he makes a little nature hut [??] Like a secluded clearing type of thing.) The branches above them cast a shadow over them, and they both lay down in the grass next to each other, taking in the beauty of magical nature. -All code and art by me (gosh those shadows took forever lol) -Thanks to @geijutsu for hosting the contest and prompting the song connection thing!! Okay so I realized the shadows could be kind of distracting from the main part of the picture so press space or arrow keys or click or whatever to see a modified version (zoomed in as well.) This shouldn't take too long to load but it's in vector so we never know... anywho, I figured y'all could just read this hunk of a description if your connection is bad :) M'kay I'm bored, just writing more cuz why not at this point XD. OH! Tags... okay. #art #contest #entry
