Artist's Comments

I was inspired by :iconakutenshi-discord: and her wonderful song-related pieces! I loved her "One Week" piece and this one hatched itself.

I had heard "Mad Season" by Matchbox 20 many times before, but it was only during an afternoon brainstorming session (in the car while driving) that I heard it again and the lyrics hit me. They are so close at matching the overall theme of my fic that I nearly drove off the road! This was an ink drawing scanned into PS7. It's probably the most elaborate mask and layer work I've done so far.

The lyrics read:

"I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing -- I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down

"I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' -- think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about -- the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

"So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now
It seems to me -- you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out -- I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken -- though I've never spoken
I come undone -- in this mad season

"I feel stupid -- but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly -- but I know I still turn you on
You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down

"So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out
You need to be toghether now -- I need you now

"Now I'm cryin' -- isn't that what you want
I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't
At times -- I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I feel stupid
And I came undone"


Piccolo belongs to Akira Toriyama
Khri belongs to me
"Mad Season" is owned by Matchbox 20.

EDIT: I have reloaded this as a PNG file. JPEG's are just fine for a lot of things, but on some of my pictures they lose a lot of detail and make the image "mushy." They may take a little longer to load, but I'm far happier with the result. Please be patient :-)

*and grins at this* Song-Pieces are awesome. That's why I do so many. So many songs can fit a single character, and from what I've read- this damnably fits.

You did such a gorgeous job. I love her outfit, especially. Her hair is wonderful- and Pic looks divine...

I must admit.

I'm rather jealous of that cape ^_^...

:glomp: lovely work.

Ohh ... wow. I KNEW thiw would be awesome when it was colored and it definitely is!

Things which I love and envy you for being able to draw:
The leather o_o Leather is hard to make look right! *jealous*
The hair ... it's almost art nouveau style ... very very nice ^^
And I will second several opinions on the cape ... The cape is :heart:

Somewhere in the background, Fenrir could be heard muttering "Quit monologing already, you're wasting valuable hard drive space." (from Adventures in Babysitting, by Zoni)

Yes! I do **commissions**! Please see any of my journal entries for more details

Thanks, Songie. One of these days, when I'm more proficient and comfortable with PS7, I'll put together a hair tutorial! :aww:

Thank you Dania -- her outfit gave me absolute fits!!! The first time I highlighted it, it looked like rubber. Hmm...a skin-tight rubber suit...NOT a good thing. I went back in and toned it down a LOT. I did have fun with this piece and I'm glad its out of the way. Maybe NOW I can get back to writing! :aww:

Ah, this was colored so differently from what I expected! Her suit is wonderful and the text looks so nice on the night sky. Piccolo's expression is just right--not guarded but not yeilding. Love how he's almost looking at us.
I like how your work has this jewel quality, very fantastical and prettier than lots of Dbz anime art.
