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

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

Thats so good. I love the dark themeing, its very different from your usual work. I hope it was fun for you ?

You also used that cross hatching style on the mountain. Pretty good !!

Yeah I could never fit the emo stereotype. I like hapiness and sunshine and the Beatles/new Silverchair too much - almost the furthest music away from emo

Wow Simon, you're amazing! This turned out very dark and powerful, a fantastic contest entry. Personally I'd have to say that this is your best deviation to date.

Wauw, I love this...The lyrics fit perfectly and the way the black outline the painting works really well... Really like the way you have used red as the only colour, it adds the meaning of the lyrics and emphasises it...

Thanks very much Originally I thought the red would be much brighter but I like the way it ended up, it seems more ominous hehe. Thanks for the face too sara
