Waist-deep in thought

Description

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you
I don't feel so alone.

These two. -sorta closet- OTP. And that song just makes me think of Simon every time I hear it and asdfgh. I'd also planned for two other Owl City/TTGL pieces like this but idk if I'll get around to drawing them ever.

Construction-wise, I had to use two separate linearts and color groups, which ended up being a pain. >:[ But the good thing was that I knew what I wanted to get to and I knew how to go about getting there. Very easy to visualize start to finish, which is a first. :thumbsup:

Also how is it that I always manage to come up with the fugliest/least comfortable-looking furniture ever. Also anatomy and proportions hate me these days.

I'm getting to the prizes I promise. This was another "Let's draw something you meant to draw when summer started" thing.

Come to think of it, the background I used is actually this.


Simon and Nia (c) Gainax

EDIT: Okay so sob story I totally thought I lost the wip for good and was so sad that I couldn't fix the background, but APPARENTLY my dad ran one more backup of my old compy before I left and the file was SAVED :'D So now this has 80% more white gradient/gaussian blur/all the stuff I abuse on a regular basis, plus I fixed one or two minor things that had been bugging me

I'm so conflicted about the ending.

On the one hand, it's thematically consistent with the rest of the show. Simon refrained from using Spiral Energy to save Nia because of the pitfall of using Spiral Energy to revive anyone or do all sorts of things that would lead to Spiral Nemisis. The ending as is also works as a well written bittersweet ending.

On the other hand, I wanted Simon to get with Nia. The rabbid shipper in me may be speaking, but Simon and Nia deserved better. After all the tragedy in their lives, they should have had more than just 12 seconds of being married. You could theoretically write the story so she and Simon are married for a while, but she still dies because of the link to the Anti-Spiral being severed.

Regardless, I still love the show, and this picture is fantastic.
