Hi there!

I've decided to go with EOS by Ulver

Here's the song.

And here you got the lyrics:
The sun is far away
It goes in circles
Someone dies
Someone lives
In pain
It is burning
Into the thin air
Of the nature
Of a culture
On the dark side
Under the moon
The wolves gather

And last but not least, the WIP itself:

[tobz]

Looking sweet nicky!
Hows the image progressing?

Cethu - Looking good. Its kinda early to crit anything. But at the moment there needs to be more contrast and define everything more.

Im went with Headhunterz - The Lost Soul

Lyrics:
As we know, man does not walk the earth alone
But is surrounded by strange creatures and spirits
Some of these may sometimes try to lure men into their own influence
For their own entertainment
And to steal away the most precious gem dwelling in each of us:
Our soul
Man may choose the path he follows
But its direction may at times not be what it seems
---
It was hard choosing a song :/ I have mostly focused on "surrounded by strange creatures" and not the whole lyrics, maybe that snake thing is sucking out the soul tho

Crit away!

[Aims]

nice start tobzart.

[Bragalo]

Nice challenge!!!!

But can I use "Immigrant song" too, or should I choose another one?

[AlexTooth]

nice start peeps. here's my sketch

song!

Shpongle Lyrics
" Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness "

Waves of the soft spring wind
Love's flood tide is rising full
The moon of love is rising full
Sea of beauty.
The moon of love is rising full
Love's flood tide.

Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy.
My mind craves nectar day and night.

Like a blue lotus floating on the sea of love.
Lingering in ashantically
Lingering in the akashic realms
Lingering in the realms.

Blue lotus floats, floating, floating..
Some laugh, some weep, some dance for joy.
My mind craves nectar day and night.

[Bragalo]

here's my sketch.
I have choose "Immigrant song" from Led Zeppelin:
"The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands"

Hello everyone,

I have decided to do Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri focusing on

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Everyone's work is looking really good. I can't wait to see finished image.

Will post sketch soon.

Here's an update before I head to bed.

Nin - The Day The Whole World Went Away

There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away

[Sarmati]

Bhalance... this is sweet, man. I love your illustration.

Here's my first WIP... I chose the song called Lugdunon played by Eluveitie.

Their lyrics are vastly absorbing.

Alike a liminal place
A dormant beacon we faced
The haven foretold
A fortress of ages to come

At the rise of a new dawn
Woke the daughter of the sun
Wafted on black wings
Vastly soaring boding skies

[mclean]

Here's the direction my piece is going in:



Black Mirror by Arcade Fire

I walked down to the ocean
After waking from a nightmare
No moon, no pale reflection
Black Mirror, Black Mirror

Shot by a security camera
You can't watch your own image
And also look yourself in the eye
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

I know a time is coming
All words will lose their meaning
Please show me something that isn't mine
But mine is the only kind that I relate to
Le miroir casse
The mirror casts mon reflet partout
Black Mirror, Black Mirror, Black Mirror

The black mirror knows no reflection
It knows not pride or vanity
It cares not about your dreams
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
The curse is never broken

[ALEE-S]

Alright, I love song lyric challenges of any kind so this was just too much fun to pass up. You guys all have some great stuff you're working on, that must be said.

Here's the first screen cap of my own attached. It took me awhile to get the colors how I liked and I'm also still a fresh artist. I'm still in the process of experimenting to find my own ways that work best. So any advice is extremely appreciated.

Currently I've only been boxing in areas of color and shapes, so no details just yet.


It's based off the song Old Black Rum by Great Big Sea (the chorus):

Because the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped round my leg
And the old black rum's got a hold on me
Will I live for another day?
Hey, Will I live for another day?

[Cethu]

Love what I see here!
Hope most of those will make it to the finals poll

BTW Nine Inch Nails, Arcade Fire - really like those bands, can't wait to see what you're gonna make out of those lyrics guys!

And here's a tiny up on my WIP:

[RyanHume]
