Description
They'll follow you to the edge of the world...Probably the most emo thing I've ever done. So emo.
Lyrics from A Perfect Circle's "Weak and Powerless".
For Alex Wynnter's Dreamlike Competition! I actually made it in time
Rules here - wynnter89.deviantart.com/journ…
Alex here -
Selected entries
here, as well as the link to vote: wynnter89.deviantart.com/art/C…
The idea was to imagine a dream using a part of some provided lyrics as inspiration. I used the bit that appears as text there.
This piece kind of came out of nowhere. I was feeling a bit like this, and just started experimenting with dark colours and by the time I knew where it was heading it had become my entry to the contest.
Hope you like it

Did you see If You Keep Losing Sleep on Rove last night?

It was pretty cool, alot rawer vocally. Performance and energy was awesome, more powerful than alot of bands that have been on the show. The mix was a bit off eg. the mic too low, but Rove's mixes are always like that.

Whee, pointy things! I approve. Also, APC! I approve twice.
One particularly snake-like set of pointy things back there also reminds me of H. by Tool.

Oh my god. Soo, emo. You've turned into... one of them. Haven't you?... Haven't you!?
Haha nah I'm just joshin' with ya.
As 'emo' as it may be it still looks pretty freaking amazing, Great deal of tone, which is cool, and the little touches of red looks pretty nice too.

lol, I realize the large extent of emo-ness on display here. But I assure you, I cannot be truly emo - I constantly smiling, it'd be kinda hard to keep it up.
Thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But all the cool emos are smiling these days. You could be in trouble.
Oh and no problem

has a sandmaneske quality, although i must say the hair looks like any number of smally bigs friends or smally big himself, so i know what you mean by it looking like alot of people these days...
Anyway colours are amazing and like the things following him to the edge, sort of amorphous and formless yet carrying menacing tones.

Thanks muchly. I wasnt sure how to approach that part - kind of needed an abstract "essence" but have small references peppered throughout it. I'm glad you like it

Ermmm...I thought we probably would vote after the end of the deadline...Or else how would the winners be chosen????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sometimes there's a panel of judges who arent in the contest, otherwise people would just vote for their own. To the rule board!..

i love it
great colours, mood and perspective
looks like theres a nice texture on the paper too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah the paper was textured, it was great and looks good in real life - but when I scanned it it was so exaggerated! Thanks, Im glad you dig it

I don't think this is emo. How can anything you put your heart and soul into not be emotional?

haha, I'll take it but it's really Alex you should be high fiving for including it in the contest

Reminds me of those games you play at primary school where if you turn around they have to stop moving.
Also looks like the poor guy has given up and is just kinda waiting for it to attack him.
Hm... I'm a strange one. Anyway, very nice. Love the reds and the patterns.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know that game
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It looks exactly how it feels when you're in that state of mind, if that made any sense. Everything behind you if crowding in and in front of you doesn't look much better but it still seems like escape...I really like this. Good luck with the contest.
