It's a Far Cry

Finally. ~Alkonium asked me to illustrate a scene from his 2112 musical and I've finished!! Lookie-lookie here --> [link]

This is the scene where the protagonist and his friends, Jon and Laura, sing "Far Cry" after the Priests reject the guitar the protagonist found.

I regret that it isn't more focussed on the characters than the scenery but this is how I visualised it and... well, that's just how it turned out.

I used a piece of canvas I found under my bed and a pile of acrylic paints (black, white and red to be exact :3. Also I used a white pencil crayon for the guitar, which failed D: ) I painted it black, choosing to work with the negatives. It was a fun experiment and I like the results but you tell me what you think.

Now that's off my to-do list, I'm going to finish Nicholas for ~ClassicRocker47 and then I'll go draw more Geddies

Pariah dogs and wandering madmen
Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
Electrical changes are charging up the young

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit
You can almost see the circle growing
You can almost feel the planet glowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on

One day I fly through a crack in the sky
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
