''Heartless''

"We can find no love.
We can voice no passion.
We can forge no trust.

Everything that we were is dead,
fallen and forgotten,
consequence of lives mislead.

Our shattered hearts echo with hollow resonance,
threaded with notes of unfulfilled songs
as we sink deeper into intrinsic decadence.

All we were was empty.
All we are now is heartless.
All we'll ever be is dust."

_{Aaaand now you guys see why I don't write poetry. Or write at all. Period.}  But hey, now y'all know I'm still alive! xD

Anyway, this is a project I've been working on on-and-off for about two weeks now. It's my first time traditionally drawing people from raw imagination (I've done direct from photo a couple times), so it was quite the challenge. I'm glad I did it though; even though it's riddled with mistakes (oh my goodness they're everywhere! ) it taught me a lot that I can apply in future work (expect more like this in the future 8D ). This is also one of my first conceptual-based works, but that doesn't really matter to anyone but myself. xD  

I apologize for the kinda weird quality. You know how it can be, trying to take a photo of your work (especially 11x14 in pages in a dark room). >.<  I did digitally manipulate it a bit to try to get it as close to real as possible while maintaining quality. This is the best I can get right now, unfortunately. If I can figure out how to get a better quality, I'll update it. 

Anyway, yeah. Sirens. I'll draw something else next time, I promise!  

I hope you all have a great day!
