Overlook

Worked in Manga Studio again.  Not sure i like the frame width or the gutter colors....

Anyway got this idea recently while listening to a few songs by the Canadian band Marianas Trench (thanks to for introducing me to the band), but the song "Ever After" in particular (most, not all lyrics).  I like how airily it starts and the train of thought was, what if it was like post-Lambency world and they went back to the mainland exploring, and they round this hill and it opens up to a giant expanse (*gasp* "the Great Valley!").  They look at each other and dare to hope that things are really going to be better.  They hold hands and stare off into the realm of future possibilities together.

I really half-assed the mountains, though hahah.  If Manga Studio has more varied texture brushes, i haven't found them  :\
Sketch is here:


"Once upon a time
I used to romanticize
I used to be somebody, nevermind,
Don't miss it that much now.

I think it's sinkin' in
Days that I wonder where I've been
In picture perfect porcelain
But I won't lose a pound

You say I would make a better liar
And never face the music when it's dire
And I breathe disaster, ever after
Don't pull away from me now

Don't you move
Can't you stay where you are, just for now
I could be your perfect disaster
You could be my ever after
You could be my ever after, after all
I could be your perfect disaster
You could be my ever after
Apologies, I'm not myself but I can guarantee
That when I get back, you won't believe
That you knew me well
Don't want to think about it
I'm fuckin' tired of getting sick about it
Now stand back up and be a man about it
And fight for something, fight for something, fight for something, oh

I would make a better liar
And never face the music when it's dire
And I breathe disaster, ever after
Don't pull away from me now

Don't you move
Can't you stay where you are, just for now
I could be your perfect disaster
You could my ever after
Now you could be my ever after, after all
I could be your perfect disaster
You could be my ever after

Nobody told ya this is gonna fold ya
We go marching in like toy soldiers
To have and hold ya over sold ya
They’re marching like toy soldiers

Somehow don't you dare fail, fail me now, ever after
Somehow don't you dare fail, fail me now, ever after
Somehow

(Face the music when it's dire)

Once upon a time
This place was beautiful and mine
But now it's just a bottom line
Barely comes to mind
But ever after was mine

I'll be your disaster, ever after
So fire away
Goodbye"
