My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
That I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh, just to be with you
Is giving me the best day of my life.

Pushed the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh, just to be with you
Is giving me the best day of my life.

And I want to thank you
For giving me the best day of my life
And oh, just to be with you
Is giving me the best day of my life.


- "Thank You" by Dido

I've been listening to that song somewhat often recently -- for personal reasons, it makes me feel better when I'm feeling down (no, I'm not depressed or anything -- it's usually just when I'm stressing about one little thing or another) . Those of you related to the reasons should know who you are. I won't say any more on that.

Because of this, a picture inspiration from that song has been gnawing at me for about a week and a half. Finally caved and did something about it, even though I rarely do artwork that's about my personal life/mood in any way, shape or form -- I prefer character design/storytelling in my art.

Yes, there are a few things somewhat hidden in this. No, I'm not going to point them out or elaborate on them further here. You'll just have to look and interpret for yourself.

Critique discouraged because I wasn't going for anything truly representational here -- the focus was primarily on self-expression, color and quick work, which I feel succeeded in. Finished it in about an hour and a half.

There are a few things I might tweak in the future, but for now it's served its purpose. It's nice to get it out of my system... Now I can go back to drawing pages and studying for my Art History test. XP;
