Description

Ahh, Venus! Nevermind what the subject is, you continuously appear so grumpy and irritable! Why is this? No matter, why don't you brighten up, for a change? :XD:
Haha, the drawing shown above here is in reality, a bit pointless, and I had never truly expected to be Submitting it now. You see, recently I've been working on a larger, Traditionally-Done project as a secret or surprise, inspired by a new song that I had recently discovered. I can tell you that I am in fact proud of the current results of the piece, but its' creation has been very tedious, and that is were this sketchy picture comes in- Challenging it was, I wished to take a break from the progress, and begin a bit of a doodle, where I could merely sketch rather than go through the entire process of outlining and such, and I didn't desire to work on Realism at the moment. Instead, I chose upon drawing Venus in a Semi-Realism fashion, in which the style would be similar to regular style, but with Realistic components. And here you have it! :)
During its' creation, I thought of the song "On My Own" by Hedley, and figured that in a way, it was most fitting to Venus. Because of this, I based the work off of that song in particular. ^.^
This was very fun to create and I am extremely proud of the final result, and I sure hope you enjoy, too! ^.^

Stayed awake all night toss and turnin',
Now my blood shot eyes are burnin'!
Workin' out why this ain't workin',
Fight after fight after fight!
And now it's killin' me!
You were too busy to believe in,
All the run away dreams I was dreamin'!
Time to pack up and go I'm leavin',
Fight after fight after fight!

And now I gotta be,
On My Own!
And living in a world alone!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!
I'm gonna make it On My Own!
I'll always take the harder road!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!

How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Cynical and so sedated!
Can't live in this world you created,
Day after day after day!

And now I gotta be,
On My Own!
And living in a world alone!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!
I'm gonna make it On My Own!
I'll always take the harder road!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!

You will always be the lonely one!
You will always try to swallow the Sun!
Just remember you could never make it rain on everyone!

On My Own,
And living in a world alone,
Gets better every day,
Cause I don't have to say,
And now you're killin' me!

On My Own!
And living in a world alone!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!
I'm gonna make it On My Own!
I'll always take the harder road!
Gets better every day,
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home!
I'll make it On My Own!
I'm sorry I won't be coming home!
I'll make it On My Own!
I'm sorry I won't be coming home!
I'll make it On My Own!
I'm sorry I won't be coming home!
I'll make it On My Own!
I'm sorry I won't be coming home!

Wow! I'm highly impressed by this piece, being in black and white. Not like I haven't been before :aww:

 

But the shading works so well to emphasize Venus' texture and fur!

 

And I'm not sure about the points on Venus' neck, whether a collar or a claw, but it definately suits the dark tone on his face!

 

At first I thought the song in the title was "World So Cold" by Three Days Grace ("Living in a world so cold,...") but you changed part of the lyrics :XD: Then I saw the lyrics below.
