[EDIT: I'm so sorry, my dear watchers, but I added a link to the song (and some WIPs) and the song's just too beautiful to miss.]

螺旋 (Rasen) - 鬼束ちひろ (Chihiro Onitsuka)

私の何処かで
何かが消え失せ
サビついた怒りを
手放そうとしてる

私は鳥になり
雑踏を飛んで行く
迷いは羽根になり
全てを振り切って行く
Life
My Life
My Fragile Life
やっと気づいたの

この腕が伸びて
枝や茎になり
あなたを忘れる事で
天にまで届く

人ゴミの中で
洗い流したリズム
足をつかむ誰かを
そっとすり抜けて

私は鳥になり
雑踏を飛んで行く
迷いは羽根になり
全てを振り切って行く
Life
My Life
My Fragile Life
やっと気づいたの

Life
My Life
My Precious Life
やっと手に入れたの

---

Somewhere inside me, something has disappeared
I'm about to let go of my rusted-together anger

I become a bird and go flying over traffic
My doubts becomes wings
and I shake everything off
Life, my life, my fragile life
I've finally noticed it

These arms of mine stretch out and become branches and a stem
And in forgetting you I’ll reach heaven

Among the crowd is the rhythm that was washed away
I quietly make my way past someone who grabs my leg

I become a bird and go flying over traffic
My doubt becomes wings and I shake everything off
Life, my life, my fragile life,
I've finally noticed it

Life, my life, my precious life,
I’ve finally obtained it


I can't say I'm entirely satisfied with this piece, but I feel like I've spent too much time and energy on it... :faint:

Note:
Thank you so much to :icondrigzabrot: , :iconravenskar: and :iconplue: for your honest comments and critiques! I know that I'm bad at responding to crits (I usually won't know what to say immediately and might even get a little defensive), but know that I truly appreciate them and I really take everything that was pointed out into consideration after. You guys rock so hard!

I have been told that I am a surrealist. Which simply isn't true. I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.

Wow, everything you draw is so amazingly beautiful ;A; I really love how her face is so doll-like and the lips are so cute! haha
Also really love your colors overall and the red ovals coming out of her chest are pretty interesting too. :):heart:

wow, its really beautiful!
i like the colors and how you used her hair to make a halo around her uplifted hand and indicate a wing.

together with the poem, i read it as follows: her hand over her bleeding (is it bleeding petals? or are these stylized drops?) heart is the "rusted-together anger", the old bad feelings, and her upstretched hand is the "hope-hand" so to say, together with the indicated wing.
what id critsize is the traffic signs in the background - i think they distract a little, as symbols are meant to grab and hold our attention and link them immediately to a certain rule. in this picture, they serve as a backdrop, which might just not have been a lucky choice. they take my mind off whats happening to her and to what they might mean, why they are there, etcetera...

aww, but its such a beautiful picture! *bows*

:devil:: I am anti-life, the beast of judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds... of everything. And what will you be then, Dreamlord?
:sleep:: I am hope.
