Description

Lineart: [link]

full color.

yay, you get to see ophelia's face! haha. well anyways, i wanted to do something for my friend, and i kept promising him i'd give it to him eventually. it's been like 2 months, and i felt kinda guilty. plus, i haven't uploaded anything to deviantart in a while, so this is a start.

two things that have inspired me to do this piece:
(1) the song "rainbow" by south border
(2) my friend Osarumen

SYMBOLISM:
-heart tattoo on neck: technically it's supposed to signify the term "wearing my heart on my sleeve." but i get too lazy to draw clothes...so there it is, on ophelia's neck.

-green: represents some sort of emotion: free-willed anger. or envy or something. usually, after i get mad about something, (it's usually when i get jealous) i blow off steam and i get all sad and stuff. which brings up the cloud.

-cloud: represents a bad day, or sadness. and the fact that love can represent a wide variety of emotions, such as depression (the cloud), happiness (the rainbow), anger/envy (green background). the current emotion i wanted to symbolize was heartbreak, or something relative to that. as you see, hearts are raining from the cloud, to stress the note of love=heartbreak.

-rainbow: comes out of the tattoo, right? tattoo= heart (i'm too lazy to talk smart, i'll dumb it down). basically, i mean, even though you get your heart broken, you'll move on. note: "there's a rainbow always after the rain."

for Osarumen (great guy, though sometimes i just want to sock him in the balls), love you!


"Take a little time, baby, see the butterfly's colors
Listen to the birds that were sent to sing for me and you
Can you feel me?
This is such a wonderful place to me

Even if there is pain now, everything will be alright
For as long as the world still turns, there will be night and day
Can you hear me?
There's a rainbow always after the rain"


-South Border, "Rainbow"

I really did get a feeling of heartbreak and hope from this. I absolutely love it.

That rain cloud would make such a cute, simplistic tattoo <3
