~gwyn-sully was kind enough to point my extremely bored ass in the direction of =maeoneechan's Music Art Meme: [link]

I really like the idea, but I wanted to take it to another level. I just can't fulfill the rule that you can only draw as long as the song plays, lol. I know that once I get started, I won't be able to stop, and... well, I was right. My sketch turned into a really weird speed-painting. So there are 10 spots for drawing, and you are supposed to pick a theme, character, pair, fandom, etc... and turn your music player on random. Whatever song comes up, draw the subject characters you picked in a way that fits with the song. Fantastic idea; music, in my humble opinion, is the best inspiration for art ideas that you never would have thought of without.

So... the song that randomly popped up was "Weep in the Sunshine" by Joy Electric. A kind of beautiful and sad song. Naturally, I chose my graphic novel Fornax for the subject. But the thing is, Fornax is a completely underground city, and there IS NO sunshine! So.... this is what I came up with to get around that.

LYRICS:

And why, oh why, do I cry for you?
Alone for so long, asleep in my dreams

If you can hear me now
Why do I weep in the sunshine?
If you can hold me now
Why do I weep in the sunshine?

And now, together, we lie forever
It seems so long, to do no harm

If you can hear me now
Why do I weep in the sunshine?
If you can hold me now
Why do I weep in the sunshine?

Without you, I don't need much
I needed you in spite of
Without you, a needed touch
A place we go in times of trouble


Enjoy, my lovelies!
