Give Me a Try

My it has been QUITE a while but 1) I got hung up on anatomy and shading and 2) halloween. I think that word is all the explanation you need. But I won the costume contest at work, so yay me!
Ahem.
Give Me a Try
This is one of my all time favorite songs I’ve played it probably 500 times no joke if not more. Probably the last Wombat song I’ll do (except maybe Greek Tragedy but we’ll see). Not as sketchy as the other Wombat songs I’ve done but this one means a bit more to me. Please listen to it!!! This picture could mean a lot of things, but if you listen to the song I think it’ll make some sort of sense. I was inspired by 2 things: I was super overwhelmed one day with like… Everything. So the song is really desperate sounding tone in both the words AND the music and - boom.. I was also inspired by like every hipster post on tumblr, I mean look at this picture - I’ve got crystals, a pastel goth hipster girl and her hipster boyfriend, and space. But really, I wanted her to be more of an anime magical girl, hence the glowy hair and tears - she’s been showing up in a lot of my art lately. Stupid tumblr aesthetic posts that I constantly see and am now drawing (*shakes fist into interweebs*)! Ah well I tried to put my own spin on it, so at least there’s that, even if they are influencing me. This pic took a while cause I got a bit bored and overwhelmed and I decided to do full body which always takes a while but I never really got sick sick of it or the song, which just shows how much I love it. Ps also I didn’t really know how to do galaxies or space rocks but I think it turned out ok. Oh, and I sourced the background colors from the album! CAN’T WAIT TO GET BACK TO MORE ART AND ALSO WRITING WHICH I’M STARTING TO DISCOVER I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT SO IF I GO DARKSIDE AGAIN IT’S BECAUSE I’M WORKING ON THAT. Cheers and hope you like. <— I wrote all that at 5 am this morning apologies if it doesn’t make sense
