Like The Tide - to Black1GuardI always thought our friendship
Would last for infinity
And that the sun would never set
On the Unholy Trinity
But now we've lost a part
Of our collective heart
How can we be whole
When we're missing apart of our soul?

Oh Guardy, oh Guardy
I thought you were online
But your msn said you went and died
Oh Guardy, oh Guardy
Your eyes were sweet and your ass was fine
But you went away like the tide

Cassy and I can't believe you're gone
It's like we've lost our mom or dad
I remember when we'd talk all night long
We'd write songs together that were so bad
But without you we could never be cool
We may have been the epic ones
But
once upon a hippoI once had a pet hippo
who lived in the pool--
he was my favorite pet hippo
back when having a hippo was cool.

All the kids knew me
All the kids wanted to come over
Because all the kids wanted to see
My pet hippo named Rover.

He could do tricks--
He could balance a ball.
He didn't get ticks
And would never let me fall.

He would follow me to school
until the teacher finally yelled
“No Hippos in School!
No Hippos allowed!”

So one day when Rover wanted to come
I had to say “No boy, stay!
Swim and have fun!”
But when I came home...

No Rover could be found!
He had looked so sad,
didn't even make a sound
A
My Serenade To CoffeeI saw you sitting there on the counter—
    And suddenly it seemed like the world faded away.
At that moment, I swore to never love another
            I wouldn’t want it any other way.

You were perfect just the way you were—
      Brown and glistening in the sun—
And I heard them ask “Are you sure?”
             Yes, I knew that you were the one.

Because I love you, Ice coffee—
     You have always been the one for me.
Because I love you, Ice coffee—
         You’re the only one that can set me free.

Lots of sugar and then some cream—
         Not too much ice because I do

"for men"...

xD Ok so this was good practice! I don't think I've ever done a value painting before, and since I'm so bad at values normally, I figured I'd try to do one..!

This is a portrait of Chris Trott of Haatfilms on Youtube. I used a screencap of him from one of their videos (found here: [link] ) as my reference, and I color-picked from it (not the best reference because of Youtube's quality, but I found it sort of nice to not have a really high quality image, because I couldn't get too distracted by details).

I was inspired by =BittersweetDisease's video tutorials, so I wanted to try out her brush set and her way of painting on one or two layers. It wasn't as bad as I thought! And painterly style is fun~ I hope to do more!

:0 Ohh, I can't wait to see! I was looking at some of the photos you already have up, and I must say, I really enjoy looking at different places, since I don't really travel at all, especially out of the country. ^^;
