Harbour Lights

Postby .yuanfen » Thu Apr 04, 2013 3:27 am

You and I know I had to leave
And the harbour lights, I cannot see
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.


Drawing of Ice and Romulus, from BayloneRose's comic 'Strayz'.

I held my tongue, I turn on my heels
I couldn't look back.
I want you to know,
That you were my rock
Never my stepping stone.

You were never a stepping stone.


The background is a sort of blurred version of a harbour, or maybe a bay at night, with the city lit up behind.

We both know I cannot come home.
The water rose faster than I could run.
All my love has bruised my grieving bones.
Forgive my sins for I haven't found God
And I don't know when I can trust my heart
But you were my rock never my stepping stone.


In this drawing I tried to make Ice's head more round than the typical wolf, though it was difficult to find the balance where it did not cross over into the head of a Malamute...

You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.

She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones.

You were never a stepping stone.
You were never a stepping stone.


I hope you enjoy! The song is 'Harbour Lights' by the wonderful A Silent Film, and I've been hopelessly addicted to this song from the first time I've heard it. I felt it would be appropriate for their relationship in the comic, and considering the setting of the comic, which I presume is San Francisco, 'harbour lights' went well with it.

Glad you like it c:

Lol, yes, I was talking about how I was trying to draw a husky, but because of the subtle differences between wolves, which I usually draw, and huskies, it was somewhat difficult to make it the right shape so that it fit a husky, but wasn't a wolf and wasn't a malamute.

This picture is really inspiring! :) I love it!!
I'm like the wolf. I'm misunderstood,, powerful, loyal, untameable, and free. Nothing can stand in the way of the most beautiful creature on earth.
Put this in your siggy if it applies to you4% of people think that wolves are vicious, evil animals. Copy and paste this into your signature if you're one of the 6% who love wolves and think they are amazing creatures.

90% of people think dragons are creepy as heck. But 7% of people say dragons would destroy everything if they were real. 2% set off to find some dragons, but fail. Put this on your siggy if you are in the 1% of people who would be by a dragon's side forever.
