Artist's Comments

This is my best piece as of yet. This really has a lot of feeling in it.. I was up all night, I'm ... really proud of it. Criticism is welcome I suppose but I'm not going to change anything. This piece really means a lot to me. I drew it while listening to Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest because it was a pretty bad night...

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I'm me

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are


The stars represent broken dreams, the tears and nakedness represent vulnerability.
The rest of it, well, she's me pretty much.

Also, I did the background, purply weird looking cloud thingies with :iconthundercake:'s brush, from her brush set.> [link]

Very nice. Over that art block now?

I expesially like the tears. Very nicely done there. The cloud background does nothing... but emphasize your point. :D She looks like she is alone and lost in a fog. Don't know about you, but I probably would be crying and scared there too, if not outwardly, then internally.

Very good piece. And Linkin Park isn't too bad. Good group, or at least the one CD of theirs that I have is good.

Not really, this just came to me in a moment of weirdness. Like it says, bad night, I wanted to draw how I was feeling.
I wanted the tears to glow, it is a part of her she is losing after all. I know, the cloud background isn't a whole lot, but it was like 7 AM and I was tired haha...
Yeah, it's not often that I cry outwardly.
Thank you. And I rather like Linkin Park, I know they're kind of emo-ish, but they've got a lot of great songs. What CD do you have?
And did I do better on shading this one?

You always do good with your coloring and shading. I've never seen a bad shading or coloring job from you yet.

Drawing your emotions can be very good for you. Better than keeping them in, and certainly better than having them change to rage and anger. If this is your outlet, then keep it coming. Better to draw and get it all out. Much healthier for you, and we all get something good to look at! See? Win win.

The tear is just great. Wonderful job on those. I like the star tattoo, as it really brings the point of breaking apart across well, without being that dead fish slapping you in the face. Dead fish statements usually aren't very good. You avoided that, so very well done.

I have the CD Hybrid Theory. Has one of my favorite songs on it. The song is "In the End". But I prefer Pillar myself. "Wherever the Wind blows" and "Smiling Down" are good songs. I would suggest you listen to them if you can find them. They might just give you a pick me up.

Haha well last time you said next time I should shade it, so I did. And there's no outlines! Yay!
Haha yeah, I never used to be real good at drawing my emotions, I'm trying to get them out on paper in drawing form since I can't really write. And I'm glad you like what you're looking at haha, vote of confidence for me!
Yeah, I dunno, all the pieces just came together. I wanted her to have a star tattoo cause I always thought they were great, but I didn't want it to be the normal black stars, I wanted it to be not incredibly noticeable, but very symbolic at the same time. I like how it came together, the pieces lined up nicely. :]
Yeah I don't like slapping people across the faces with dead fish, haha. :P
Oh definitely, hybrid theory is definitely their best. You should listen to the rest of the albums though, they always seem to do a good job. Their latest album seems to be more dark, and hurt sounding than the others, they seem to have gotten a lot angrier, but they're always very good at getting emotions out of you. And 'In The End' has always been one of my favorites by them, most definitely. I know how to play the beginning bit on piano! Just have to learn the rest of it, heh. :] Definitely give the rest of their albums a try though, I'm sure you won't regret it. And I'll write those songs down for later, thanks for the tip.

I have listen to their other CDs, and they really didn't get me. Maybe a dong here or there, but they got too dark for me. I liked them before because they didn't swear much, and then they started to swear noticeably. Then I didn't like them for they turned to subject matters that I didn't like.

So... you can also play the piano? I can too! Well... kinda. If I hear something enough times, I can finger my way through it, matching what I hear with the keys. Give me a sheet of music... and I'm lost...

I dunno, I think they went through something as a band that really got to them. Or at least whoever wrote the songs did. I think it had something to do with the war. I'm sure it'll pick up again soon. Did you listen to ReAnimation?

Haha, yeah I can play piano. I taught myself when I was young with a little help from my mom and my sister who showed me which notes were which and whatnot. I can also sort of play flute and I'm learning how to play bass guitar. You should ask someone who knows how to play sheet music to teach you, I'm sure they'd love to help. And you can look up tutorials for how to play songs on youtube too. That's how I learned some of my songs. It's fun. :>

So I've been up to Plymouth twice, and seen Elizabeth both times, and I still haven't met you yet! We'll have to fix that, I don't want another internet friendship where I never meet the person. There's this other guy I've been talking to named Kapil whom I've been talking to for four years, and I don't even know what he looks like, haha.

Well, with me we can at least try to fix that. Unfortunately, I can't really go up to Plymouth anymore. Work schedule changed in a way the prevents that.

I actually know how to read sheet music (or at one time I did), but I'm very slow at it. I have to write down the notes and translate the sheet in order to play it. I can't just read it and start playing. Its like translating an ancient language or something with me. Takes me time to do it.

I might have, either that or I listen to the remix of that CD. I wasn't impressed with the remix...

Ohh, I thought you went to school at Plymouth. I was like, it's weird that I haven't seen you there, but now it makes sense haha. My bad. :\
Yeah, I used to be like that. Sometimes it still takes me a while to figure it out, like the really high or low ones..
Yeah, ReAnimation is the remix. I like the violin part though, and I liked the way they changed some of the lyrics.
