My passion for the antagonistIt's an eerie feeling lost out on a ledge when everything begins to crumble away.

A gentle breeze sets in motion an honest need to let go of my sad little balloon.
Most of the time I figure I could hold onto it a little longer if it means I
can still have you.

Let's pretend leaving it all behind isn't easier said than done.
One day I don't see myself coming back from this tricky little place in my head.
Sometimes my passion for the antagonist twists my stomach with every thought of you,
Thinking this time will be a slippery slope if I let you circle the drain with
all the regret that brings me here again.

As a cynic considersShe waits patiently as I casually drive myself a little crazier.
Anxiously idle I'll continue to waste her time drawing no conclusions.
I know it frustrates her,
but I'll ask her to stay as a lack of anything better to do.
She sees I'm frantic in my own mind tick-tocking the hours away as a cynic considers.
So I'll try to be honest when I tell her these things never have a way of working themselves out.
Only, she simply smiles with tears in her eyes when I say I'm sorry,
and she continues to cry when I say I don't understand.
I know she wants leave when I retreat to that self-loathing little place in my head.
Aging will be a slow dec

Where were you when you robbed me of my childhood?I imagine you want full disclosure,
but to think about it drags me down again.
Please, I want my frail imagination back!
I want it all to stop!
I want to close my eyes to everything that got me here.
And I just wanted you to know,
I still hope I'm nothing like you.
I still want you to change,
and I still want to ask you,
Where were you when you robbed me of my childhood?

I stopped to day dream and 20 years passed me byI waited all afternoon for you.
And I'm sure you that you forgot.
I was going to ask you to try harder this time,
but that day I walked home alone.
Something in a breeze caught my eye.
A scrap of paper of danced lazily around in the air,
And I wanted to catch it as it fell to the ground.
I even imagined it was a note from you to say you missed your son,
So I closed my eyes,
stopped to day dream,
and 20 years passed me by.

Nostalgic like a sleeping giantFor your sake I wished you had listened
I think we both really should have tried a little harder
but maybe just for a second we can forget it ever went wrong.
I promise I've learned to be honest and now I'm at a loss for words,
because these memories of you cycle like constant regrets,
and this thing I'm feeling is nostalgic like a sleeping giant.
Darling I'm afraid I've been asleep at the wheel.
So come take my hand,
and keep this dream lingering just a little longer,
I would like to waste a little more time with you before you go.

Where I Go From Here - WIP #5by ~ghostwolf82

Scraps

This is a small portion of the entire piece, but I decided to upload a cropped progress version because I really like the way the statues came out and they are a little lost in the entirety of the image.

Final colors have not been decided yet.

I like the use of light and color. It's looking good!

I love the larger piece, but this is my favourite element, so it's great to see it up close. I think everyone will have their own interpretations of what they're seeing. For me it conjures up the idea of a group travelling through a dangerous place in a sort of post-apocalyptic world, and the man is watching on, letting the woman and child have a carefree moment. He's distanced and standing guard, but part of him is feeling joy at seeing some innocence in the world again again.

Thank you. I was trying to go for an innocent feel in a corrupted and decayed atmosphere.

~Snazz84 Dec 18, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

P.S. I realise you said they're statues, but that's still what I see.

Almost feels like the woman and child are ghosts...a reflection of life after a great loss. Great piece!

~ghostwolf82 Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I actually your comment in mind when finishing the final version and gave them a little more of a "misty" look as my orginal intention was to be statues.

~Adenocromo Dec 13, 2012

You're a genius.

~ghostwolf82 Dec 21, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist
