day 27 - before the dawn

"maybe tonight we'll fly so far away we'll be lost before the dawn"

a more cleaned up version of a sketch i did some time ago! hiccup and jack are elf boyfriends, sorry i don't make the rules

also. i didn't feel like drawing their hands so they're just blobs, sorry

day 19 - disappear

"don't you want to feel? don't you want to live your life? how much longer are you gonna give in to the fear?"

fear has always been a big part of my life. it's held me back countless times, an endless obstacle i gotta keep fighting against. anxiety disorders SUCK. this song has always been rather cathartic for me, and since i've been in a bit of a slump again lately, this artpiece perfectly captures how i've been feeling and how much i want to let go off all that fear inside of me, instead of it holding me down, y'know?

day 13 & 17 - lost whispers & fallen

the evanescence logo with the smoke from the 'lost whispers' album cover and a vaguely 'fallen' color palette

fun fact! i shot and edited the pic on my phone because i didn't have the spoons to boot up my desktop, use my scanner, and open GIMP etc. might come back to this one later someday

day 11 - erase this

"we can't wash these sins away, this sinking feeling everyday, i'm waking up in someone else's life"

i really like drawing swirly things. i'm also fairly good at drawing swirly things. here i have once again drawn the swirly things ✨️

day 8 - like you

"you're not alone no matter what they told you you're not alone i'll be right beside you forevermore"

lesbians!! they are lesbians. this part of the song always just struck as me as the very definition of love, y'know? idk it's just so strong and i tried to portray that here. the song itself is about platonic love (for a deceased sister) but all love is beautiful and this image just popped into my head like this.

if you somewhat see the lesbian flag colors in this you are correct, i started coloring her dress and those colors just Worked.

day 5 - origin

"you hold the answer deep within your own mind / death in its most hideous form"

the best feeling is when you start creating art with almost no idea what it's gonna be and it turns into something amazing and unexpected

day 2 & 3 - together again & open doors

did you know that amy originally wrote the song 'together again' for the first narnia film? did you also know that when we adopted my cat narnia, her name was originally nadia, but i thought narnia sounded way cooler? well! now you do!! anyway, here's a drawing of my cat narnia entering narnia through an evanescence-inspired wardrobe (i used some of the designs from the actual door on the 'open door' album cover)

(ignore the fact that this wardrobe doesn't actually have any doors, it was too hard to draw and i couldn't be bothered, and now it just looks even more like a magical portal <3)

also. i did not expect this to turn out so well! i'm gonna frame it and hang it up somewhere around the house 🐈
