The Carousel by HalfoftheMoon

The Carousel

Description

Hm..well, my relationship with you just seems to have been going strong lately and I wanted to draw us again. <3 This is by far my most favourite drawing of us.

Y'know, I guess I've only just figured out why I tend to draw myself so often. It's just my way of letting out my own emotions and thoughts and portraying them visually. So yeah..I know it probably gets old seeing me so often in my art, but..pth.

Anyways..again, I drew us looking a biiit older than we really are. Ha..but yeah. After I finished colouring us, I was like "this NEEDS a background", so I put all the As Tall as Lions' soundtracks on shuffle and just drew the thoughts I got from listening to them. As for the title, I didn't know what to name it that wasn't something uberly cheesy. So I titled it the last song I heard when finishing this. <3 And I really like that song, too. >>

Songs I used arrre:
Circles<3
Song for Luna
A Soft Hum<33
Sleepyhead<3
Milk and Honey<3
96 Heartbeats
The Carousel

Pretty sure, if you know the songs at least, it's easy to figure out which is which. LONG DESCRIPTION. Hmhm..let's see if anyone actually reads it.

Art 2009 (c) Lizzy Adamson

P.S. I fail at drawing short guy hair. >>

Exactly. Thank you, Kaleb.

HalfoftheMoon on October 19, 2009, 7:28:17 AM

Explain to me why that even matters.
That isn't a question relating to the actual art piece. If you're going to ask me something like that, please do it on my profile.

YourFirstLastKiss on October 22, 2009, 10:46:49 AM

its so pretty!

HalfoftheMoon on October 22, 2009, 10:56:57 AM

Quaah, thank youuu.

melodia on October 19, 2009, 8:35:01 AM

Are the streaks on his skin part of the shading, or was your marker dying?

Anyways, the circle things are kinda "soft", y'know? But I like how the dark gray/black circle is blended into the dullness of the blues in the right corner.

HalfoftheMoon on October 19, 2009, 8:40:47 AM

Yes, the marker was dying. The obviously dark parts I did on purpose, but yeah.
I made the circles the way I wanted. And thank you. :)

melodia on October 19, 2009, 8:42:42 AM

The "circles are soft" part was a compliment. They look good that way.

HalfoftheMoon on October 19, 2009, 8:43:36 AM

OH.
Thank you, then.

Silver_Moon on October 18, 2009, 10:10:01 AM

It's very beautiful, the background is very creative.

HalfoftheMoon on October 19, 2009, 7:26:47 AM

Thank you. :)

scooter_girl_Haruko on October 18, 2009, 6:05:28 AM

O_O you're very good with anatomy! I also love the colors you used. ~_^

HalfoftheMoon on October 18, 2009, 7:26:23 AM

Why, thank youuuuu.

TsuNekoChan on October 18, 2009, 6:07:38 AM

Oh wow you're absolutely wonderful with markers. the coloring looks nearly flawless <3

glad to hear that the two of you got back together again. i actually planned to draw the both of you for gift art *hinthint* =3

HalfoftheMoon on October 18, 2009, 7:27:45 AM

The marker I used for Vic's skin totally died when I was almost done. .__.; Thank you so much, though~.

And really..? Aww..no wayyyy, you're too amazing of an artist to make a gift for someone like me.

Tuntun422 on October 18, 2009, 5:18:05 AM

Again great stuff but you don't need me to tell you.

sorry,for not saying something more original or descriptive.I'm not too good with give out comment on pictures even if I think the art is well rendered & well drawn.

As a side note,I think his hair seem just fine. you should check out the hair on my male character in my art gallery...

You'd might die laughing.

HalfoftheMoon on October 18, 2009, 5:24:56 AM

No, no, I love your comments. You're one of the few who actually gives me somethin' more than just "nice!" or some stupid facial expression.

Thank you~! Oh and yeah, I mean..in the DRAWING his hair looks fine, but his hair is actually shorter than the way I drew it.

And sure, I'll take a look. o3o
