Artist's Comments

hoooo, DD! Thanks so much to cypherx for suggesting it and Aeires for featuring it! :heart: Much appreciation for all the comments and faves :love:

I did this for an all girls thunderdome competition at conceptart.org. The challenge was to visually interpret a song, and I chose 'The Noose' by A Perfect Circle =O I suppose I'll give the lyrics I based it on for your benifit...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
You cast your demons out

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down

Your halo slipping down to choke you now
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, a lot of people seem to dig it :) hope you guys do too.

I get a lot of suggestions that have big "wow" value but I've never had a suggestion that left me totally speechless. The Noose by *GraySapphire did. The symbolism is so deep it cannot be dissected in just one view. After staring at this for some time, I still don't completely understand it but I do know it's an awesome drawing. Take a long look and draw your own conclusions. (Suggested by *cypherx and Featured by `Aeires)

i saw someone today who jerked my heartstrings,
and i felt someone touch my soul...
whenever i see you, i feel as if my very being is calling out to you..
this void..how come i never realized it till i met you?
