Third image for song lyrics by the band Evanescence, the song being 'Away from me'.

~~~~~~

Lyrics-
I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
And I

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(Away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you

I...
I've woken now to find myself
I'm lost in the shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me

~~~~~~

Any crit would help greatly. Third in my series of Evanescence illustrations.

Second image - Lithium - [link]
Fourth image - Bring me to life - [link]

This idea has been with me for quite some time and now its done I don't think I even like it plus i'm not sure it holds the same qualities the other two do. Granted this images is a darker theme but there seems to be something missing. Can anyone else see this or am I loosing it...again.

As per I used watercolours, inks, pens and (cough) food colourings (cough).

I'll leave it up to you to decide if you think it matches the lyrics. Since hearing I thought of red ruined skies and out of all the aspects of this image, that is what I still stand by. I added a red mist for that eerie death feel.

She is supposed to look like she is climbing out of her grave but I got rid of the load of dirt and hole cause it wasn't working but now it just looks like she is crawling (matches the lyrics more eh?). Reference for the skele hand are from a google search. The angel figure you may think I aquired it from some reference but nope, I made it up on the spare of the moment. Dont know what else to say. Tell me whats wrong with it, thats always helpful.

Pen, pencil, inks, food colourings and photoshop

Angel of darkness
The world is in your hand
But I will fight until the end
Angel of darkness
Don't follow your command
But I will fight and I will stand

Think I can guess where you used the food colouring but unless you'd have said, I wouldn't have noticed.

But that's all redundant since the colour scheme is awesome as usual
