Okay, so maybe my laptop being gone isn't a completely bad thing.

I had the ideas for this and the next challenge pic for awhile now and I guess now I had the time to draw them. Anyway, this first one is none other than their song "Weird" off of their album "Middle of Nowhere" and can also be found on their newest CD "Middle of Nowhere Acoustic"

Isn't it weird. Isn't it strange.
Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train.
We're both trying to find a place in the sun.
We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone.
Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes

Isn't it hard. Standing in the rain.
You're on the verge of going crazy and your heart's in pain.
No one can hear though you're screaming so loud,
You feel all alone in a faceless crowd.
Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes.

Sitting on the side. Waiting for a sign. Hoping that my luck will change.
Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
When you live in a cookie cutter world being different is a sin.
So you don't stand out. And you don't fit in. Weird.

Sitting on the side waiting for a sign, hoping that my luck will change.
Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
When you live in a cookie cutter world if you're different you can't win.
So you don't stand out and you don't fit in. Weird.

Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird
Strange, how we all get a little bit...
Strange, 'cause we're all just a little bit weird sometimes.

Just a little bit...weird sometimes.

That final isn't included in the lyrics but Taylor sings that on the album, which is why I put it there.

Anyway, how could I not feature a young Aranelion and Elianaron Brokenstar for this picture? This would have been after their father died and they were confined to Valordian Village for the rest of their childhood. This is why they have their headbands and the bandages on their tails.

With the three other hedgehogs, I wanted to capture three specific emotions in reaction to the "weird" pair. First, with the bright yellow Valordian warrior walking by, you can see him give them the anger reaction. He'd much rather get rid of them altogether then to have to tolerate their presence. Second, you have the pink hedgehog girl running home, looking at them in fear. She's wary of them and just does her best to avoid what she doesn't understand. Finally, the young brown hedgehog in the window of his house feels more like mocking the brothers, looking at them strangely and belittling them for their differences.

I don't normally do full color pictures, (goes to show the kind of time I have on my hands) and while the trees look stupid, I do like the picture. Fortunately, Air and Ell here do find their place in the sun, but only after going through plenty of stumbling blocks on the way. That alone should serve to encourage us all ^^ The poses of the bright yellow and pink hedgehogs are kinda messy but what can you do? X3

Enjoy!
