Don't you see that I’m dying? Dying, subsiding, desecrating into the world? Don't you see that every line you throw at me, wounds me in the heel? Your rust poisons my blood, your iron runs through my veins. And I sit here and wish that you'd do it again. And again. And again. You kill me day and night. My heart says I'd die for you, any time, again and again. But what fool am I to listen to my heart?
speed is my middle name mind you, my first name is "painfully slow" ---- i saw this dta on the afternoon of september 27th. the design had me from the the spot. the gentle tear-like curves of the feathers, the flowing quality of the fur, the way the patterns almost seem to leap out from the pelt like pools of crystals frozen into the enigma that is time. i was head over heels. of course i had to enter </3 and then i took one glance at the deadline and did what any reasonable, sensible, and rational person would do. i panicked. after wasting half an hour on pinterest, i went to work, managing to finish a clean sketch before going to bed. my school had an excursion on the next day, which meant that i spent about two hours on the bus doing the lineart and the colouring while trying to hold back my carsickness as best as i could :) i then passed out on my bed for about twelve hours upon arriving at home. all the shading, lighting, and background were done during the morning of september 29th. but in all honestly, it was more than worth it. i love this design so much, and it was a joy to be able to draw it! this was tons of fun to do :D i would very much have done more entries if not for the limited amount of time. i'm sketching a painted headshot right now, but whether or not i'll be able to have it done before the deadline is a rather questionable matter ':) update: got the painting ready! <3 ---- total time: 5h 20m + 2h 26m = 7h 46m programme: procreate music: sound of drums by alice on the roof writing and art by me <3
