Entry for the godly

's contest.

We had to pick one of her characters and draw him/her in the environment that explains a song. I chose Vicarious by the amazing Tool. <3

I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out. In the reflection off Xbakkari's eye, you see some random woman being stabbed in the chest with a blade of some kind. Song is slightly morbid(but true in a sense), so my entry is morbid. C'mon, everyone loves morbid. X)

I wanted to do Jambi, but Vicarious will do.

Vicarious by Tool
Eye on the the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"DROWNED by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison
in his tea...kissed him goodbye"
It's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie

While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
write as the story's told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so...

Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain falling down
Drawn by the brave and proud

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivorous Voyuer
Stare at the transmitter
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out
you hippies and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

=Kodriak Jul 1, 2007 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Gracias, dude, gracias.

_{How long did it take you to comment on all of this stuff?? It would have taken me ages!}

~Animalover Jul 1, 2007

haha, not too long, I have quick typing skills!
And I wanted something to help me procrastinate on the art that I'm working on, so I decided to go back to a few of my friend's galleries and look at some of the stuff I missed while I was gone.

Toooooooool! <3

This is AMAZING. I adore the fur detail, and the reflection in the eye is fantastic. Unique idea, good luck!
