"... wish you could've stayed."
To this day, the line of words that I made the title are some of my absolute favorite lyrics ever written. When I hear the line in the song (which is "Home" by Dabin, btw - absolutely gorgeous song!), I automatically imagine a beautiful, nature-filled, happy place with lots of bright colors being swept away with a cloud of smoke, revealing a now wasteland of a city, dark and destroyed, smog blotting out the sky. That just happens to be what pops into my head; I don't really know why! But I've had the idea to draw it for a month or two now, and I decided to give it a go today! Unfortunately, I uh, forgot that I pay an unhealthy amount of attention to detail, so... yeah. The timer betrays how long drawing a destroyed city digitally takes me - most of the time shown, minus maybe 20 minutes or so. But hey, I really like how it turned out, so I guess it was worth it!
Not gonna lie, this is also a vent piece as well. I try not to do much vent art because I'm really not about spreading negative vibes in any way - quite the opposite, in fact. But sometimes I've just got to share my feelings somewhere, you know? Even if it's indirectly, in a vague art piece.
But no, nothing in my life is destroyed as badly as that city or anything - an odd sentence to say, but I just want to be clear! It's just supposed to be a representation of a possible future, I guess? I can't think of how to describe this, but whatever, you probably get the jist. I won't go into it, heh.
Timer is decently close to correct!
