Description
[I had no idea which category this really belongs to... Animals? Fantasy?]
I could with every reason call this as the first piece of art in my gallery. This is what I want to do, or at least a hint about it. Not a portrait, not realistic, not a copy of a photo. This is mine. The quality might be light-years away from my best pencil drawings but this is my thought, my pain, my delight. I have a long way to go but so far so good. At the moment, for me the though and feeling counts more than the means to express it. I need the colours and I must accept the fact that I'm pretty lost with colour pencils.
It might be appropriate to admit this is enhanced on computer; this is no way equally good on paper. Or maybe it is, but just different. I like it as it is on paper but after going through my scanner... it just isn't the same on computer screen, so it might as well be enhanced a bit and then fairly be different.
I hope you get something out of this. If it's a thought that you feel like sharing, please do. It goes without saying that this is a special one for me. Critique is welcome too, but I'm going to be pretty sensitive about it , so please, be nice and constructive.

Inspired by (but not trying to be an interpretation of) the following song:
Sleeping Sun
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...
Song/lyrics © Tuomas Holopainen / Nightwish

This drawing wouldn't exist without the mentioned piece of music. I've waited for years, or more likely for at least a decade, to be able to create something myself like I used to do when I was just a kid. Through Nightwish's music I've found again something I thought I had lost forever. I felt indescribably good about being able to do this and I hope I can continue like this.
This doesn't mean I'd abandon all I did before, I'll most likely continue drawing portraits etc to keep up some kind of technique (or the lack of it ) which will hopefully help me to do what I want to do most.
Last but not least, after all this rambling, sorry for the watermarks but it should be quite obvious that the last thing I wish is someone stealing this.
