that is really really cute ^^ and your art skills are obviusly awsome ><

Thank you. :} I'm really not that skilled though - but I have been experimenting lately.

Awwww... tooooo cute poetry and picture too X3X3X3

Thank you. :3 The poetry isn't mine - it's from a very awesome Nine Inch Nails song.

Beautiful, m'dear <3

Thank you kindly, badga. :3

Ah when'd you get so good :O I like seeing this on your front page beneath your featured submission :3

I'm not good. ^^;; I see a million mistakes in this, but it needed to come out so eh.
Thank you. :3

A great song, and quite an understandable inspiration.
Everyone says this is a cute picture, and maybe it is in some ways, but there's more to it than that. Some potent emotions going on there...

I'm glad you could appreciate the undertones, and that you got the song reference. :3 I love that song so, so so much.

I think that song is tied with The Good Soldier as my favourite on the album. I was a total NIN fanboy once... and though i'm not quite that fanatical now (i've matured some) i still have a special place in my heart for the stuff Trent does. :)

I haven't heard The Good Soldier yet! Now I'll have to get it. I can hardly ever afford to buy albums, so I always seem to pick up albums in bits and pieces online. I too used to be a HUGE fan-girl of NIN, but I have also matured (getting old does that to ya, eh? :P) and I'm not like OMGNINOMGOMGOMG anymore. But I will always love Trent's work - his lyrics are beautiful, meaningful.
Actually, after doing a lot of research on the Year Zero album I have an entirely new level of respect for him. The things he did, and said, with that album is absolutely /incredible/. I don't think I've ever seen an artist go to such extents to get a message across. And a /very/ important one, at that.
Oi, I'm so long-winded. e_e; Sorry EC!

Hmmm... when i first heard that the album was out, i went to nin.com and actually listened to the album in its entirety there. ...but i can't find that part anymore, so i guess it's gone.
But... if you haven't heard the album, i recommend getting it! save up a few bucks, oh man, it's worth it. :D

And yeah... concept albums seem to be a rarity these days, especially in mainstream.... and with the whole "singles are all that matter, we don't need to make a cohesive album that works artistically as a whole, so we'll just stick a bunch of unrelated songs in a pile" mentality. It's awesome that he did one.

Oh, I am totally buying it sometime - if for nothing else, because I actually like supporting artists like Trent. I've heard a great deal of songs on the album, just not the thing in it's entirety. Before I even heard any of the songs, I caught wind of the album and the incredible message, and did a lot of digging around on the internet. I must've spent hours just going through all the sites that Trent created. Really fascinating stuff.
Even though they are entirely un-related musically, the thing that Trent did with Year Zero strongly reminds me of John Lennon, and his albums like 'Imagine', which also had a lot of political commentary on it, and got him in a whole lot of trouble.
One other thing I like about Trent is his willingness to share with his fans - for instance, he released the entire album himself into a torrent for people to download, listen to, and re-mix. :D How awesome is that??

Yeah, he's smart, embracing the future... because information can't be held for ransom, and there's no way to stop people from 'stealing' music and such digitally. The recording industry is fighting a futile battle (and making it worse for themselves) by trying to stop the future.
Yeah... anyone who wants to still be in business in twenty years needs to start thinking differently, things have changed a lot as far as media goes.
:)

Very nicely done.

Thank you. :3

Somehow the mood of the pictures goes very well with that song. Lovely work.

I would hope so at least in part, I listened to it quite a few times while drawing. <3 NIN.

I think its the colors, mood, and.. general atmosphere of the picture that seem very fitting to the song. To me that song conveys a lot of deep emotion, and you've achieved the same with the picture.
<3 <3 NIN ^^

Very welcome.

Sad expression and beautiful sky... I like it :)

Thank you Corgi. :3

Thank you miss Decaf! That's a high compliment coming from your talented self. :3

Thank you very much. :} I do love that song, and I've been wanting to 'illustrate' something to it for a while. Glad you find it appealing. :}

*cuddles the foxie* are things alright hon? :3

*hugs the feline* Yeah, things are okay. :} Sometimes one just needs to vent, and art is an affective outlet. Thanks for your concern though. <3 Hope you're doing well yourself!
