The colored version of [link] (finally got it done!)
I have to submit it for the contest because it fits the theme perfectly.

This is inspired by a song called "Exodus" by Evanescence. I loved the song since the first time I heard it. I could really relate to it at that time (before I graduated from high school,) because I was under a lot of pressure to make good grades, but I felt like there are so much more in life that I'd love to learn and accomplish besides math and science. And high school is a place that I never feel "belong." The things I drew on the wings are little things I created before, they're things that belong to me, and they're part of my dreams.


"Exodus" lyrics:

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost
I am just alone
But I won't cry
I won't give up
I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more is made in empty eyes

Character done in Painter 8
Backgroud and Wings done in Photoshop 7.0

Only the body is shed; the mind is forever in the maze of 19 lines.

wow you know what? I must admit, this is the best thing you've ever made...at least I think so! And the colours are like...really well done because they look sort of 3D, but yet it fits and that background all together, it's just perfect! I'm really amazed over this one, you've work a lot with it...if not it's good anyway :hug: :clap: :clap:

I put on my overcoat,
I walked into winter,
My teeth chattered rythms,
And they were grouped in twos and threes,
Like a morse code message was sent,
From me,
To me.

She is stunning...the clothing make you wonder is she is dark, or simply mysterious. The expression in her eyes is wonderful. She as seen more then her age would let one believe. I love the hair...the wings...are simply stunning. Dark, withdrawn, screaming, singing, hoping, lost, found, light, and dark. A paradox wrapped in a simple, forgotten frame. Mortality never looked so eternal.

Amazing work. +fav

My "character" is not a character at all. She is my soul. Please respect that and do not steal images to reuse elsewhere. Note me or email me if you have any questions, any questions at all.
