So it's been a couple years since I even TRIED to cellshade something seriously.

And man, I doubt this would have even happened without the help from  centch who taught me SO MUCH. Hell, even helped me out with the bangs. Thank you SO MUCH Centch, ilu :3 ♥

Anyway. I thought it was dumb that so many people had done a fully finished picture of Nikki, where I had not. SO I DID THIS.

And actually, I don't hate it. I really love it.

Yes, Mysti actually loves one of her own pieces! SHOCK!!

Anyway! Thank you again, Centch. And to everyone else, I hope you like!!

Lift - Poets of the Fall

"Lift"

Times when I just can't
Bring myself to say it loud
'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry

That is when it seems
We move in circles day to day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by

And it feels like fear
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear

Like the other day
I thought you won't be coming back
I came to realize my lackluster dreams

And among the schemes
And all the tricks we try to play
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy

When it feels like fear...
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear, oooohhhh

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear

Take me high
Make me fly
