"The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" by Evanescence

"Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

Just get through this day

Give up your way, you could be anything,
Give up my way, and lose myself, not today
That's too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way

You're just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way, and I could be anything
I'll make my own way
Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.

So run, run, run
And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore

You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby

Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again. "

This piece isn't meant to be offensive. A while back, pxl held an anorexia contest, which i found to be incredibly underappreciated. There were so many avenues and possibilities around that contest. I decided to take that "theme" and add my personal touch to it. This is meant for all the SURVIVORS of anorexia. and the words of the song i chose seem to describe the feeling i was trying to portray with my image.

Comments are appreciated, however, i would appreciate constructive thoughts, not destructive opinions on the actual disease, as it is not consequential to the outcome of this piece.

**edit-fixed "blurred" flowers and brought girl forward a bit..hope its better** (5 years and 3370 days ago)

WOO HOO!!!!

I truly love the positive aspect of this piece. It is a sad image but there is hope portrayed as well; not easy to get both in one image. Well thought out and lovely statement on a devastating illness. Well done author!

Great idea and job. Especially very good work with making her skinny, looks very convincing. Her facial expression is also very good and I really like the colour scheme and that you adapted the colour from her strand of hair to the butterflies and the poppy field.
There is just one thing, that could be (in my opinion) improved. Where you placed her now is the field already very blurry, but the source from the woman is sharp. I think the blending there could be a bit better. The most drastic thing would be probably to replace the poppy field, but what you could try too is copying some of the flowers and the grass from the foreground (which are sharp) and paste them in front of her dress, so you have more or less the same sharpness. Or you could just put her a bit more in the foreground, where the grass and flowers are still sharp.
And another small thing: the cutout of the grass in front of her dress is good, but could maybe be a bit improved.
What you could try is picking the eraser and erase with the brush that looks like 3 blades of grass (it's a standard brush) and erase with different brush sizes in front of her dress. This way you get the grass structure and it looks more natural. Probably not the most professional way to do it, but that's how I always do it and it works good for me
But like I said, it's really a great entry and works very good with the song
Good luck!

*faint*
wow. thank you for your input everyone.
Slushie...thank you for being a huge supporter of my work. and for the fav.
Arca, you see exactly what i was intending on with this piece. i'm so happy!
Geex, thank you. i think that one word means more to me than you could possibly imagine.

Lelaina, i really appreciate your taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and wonderful critique. i will mess around with the flowers a bit and see if i can't get it to look any better than this. I didn't like my results with the 3 blade grass brush that PS comes with, i tried it... it looked too "Uniform" so i tried just using the eraser and making my own grass blades with a bit of smudge to blend them into being "grass"..however, i don't think it helped much. I will definitely give it another go and see if it looks better. You are right though, the MOST drastic thing i can do is to change the poppy field, and after searching through literally thousands of not very good poppy fields, i was way happy to find this one! i'll see if i can't improve it a bit.

I am one of those people who hated that contest theme, because I wouldn't want to see so suffering and I'd know many people would play on it. Actually the human being is not as strong as he thinks he is. He's vulnerable...
But you really did a nice image of incentive, showing that things can be better when you believe. It's urgent to believe in life, in hope, in love, in God (or in a major strenght above us).
Great work and GL!

author says:

Okay...i came back and fixed the flower field. i hope i got it right this time. to me it looks lots better, but... :P sometimes you sit and stare at something soooo long you can't see the trees for the forest.

avatar Lelaina
Lelaina says:

Oh you saw all the trees you could possibly see. This looks SO much better! And I'm happy, that it looks better for you too.
I know that feeling btw, that you search for a specific source forever and when you finally find one, you just want to keep it.
Good luck again!

Nice image with a good iagination..........i would suggest lowering the saturation a touch and adjusting the exposure levels.

avatar Lamantine
Lamantine says:

Really good to see another Evanescence fan ! They are rare in my country. Great work here, my friend. Great facial expression ! Good luck !

author says:

Freejay, thank you for your opinion. I wanted then enhanced saturation levels in this piece so i don't think i'll be changing that. its a personal choice in that matter. the exposure was intended to be a bit dark, because i wanted not only the bright colors, but a bit of dark to bring the mood of the piece to what it is. for this is not meant to be "lovely" and all..its meant to have a dark side, as the concept of this artwork is dark.

Lamantine..i've been a huge evanescence fan for a long time. and the words from this song really put in place the feelings i was trying to portray. Thank you so much for your compliment

avatar freejay
freejay says:

Hey....its your decision.....but i do think my advice would only improve the image.
You can still keep the picture dark with the proper exposure levels.

nicely done -- like the font and the overall look

CMYK46 says:

Good one!

avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Sexy, tough and good mood! The choice of font for the logo fits with the rest, personally I wouldnt use the emboss but a bit thicker outline so it will look more powerful. Also, I wouldnt put the tagline on top over the logo, give it some more space above (or make it smaller) so that the logo is good visible. Good luck!

Edit: another tiny thing about the background: if you flip the gradient from red (outside) to yellow (middle) it´ll have a more depth feeling (red is warmer/ closer to you, yellow is "colder", further away), just an idea...

avatar JamesD
JamesD says:

Sort the union jack out!

I think the overall impact would be better if the main name didn't have the soft bevel.

author says:

Some very good suggestions here, so thank you all. Waz (and JamesD), I changed the emboss from a soft to a hard chisel, and I think nit looks a lot better. Also, I left the outer glow white, but gave it a red stroke to match the "K" on the label, and it too seems more powerful and consistent. As for the tagline going over the logo, I chose to leave that there rather than reduce the size of the two main characters in the ad. A lot of Japanese ads seem to do this kind of thing, almost to the point of being confusing, but that was partially the point - to emulate an ad that didn't quite make it across the ocean intact. that said, the suggestion to flip the background gradient was also a good one. I had red in the center similar to the Japanese "rising sun" flag, but it does indeed get more depth with them reversed. Thanks for the tip, the kudos (particularly the nod from CMYK - he must be getting soft in hi old age ), and rest of the suggestions all.

avatar DanLundberg

Very creative and convincing! I would observe that while the logo starts in front of the bottle, it then goes behind the ninja bunny ear, so terminating behind the tag line makes sense. I would delete the border around the 11 o'clock sun ray to make it match all the other rays, however.

avatar gopankarichal

Goo work. Name of the brand should be more visible, may be you can change the outline colour or the thickness.

avatar dreamdriven

colourful!! good

I can't read many kanji words, but you wrote "desert" on the bottle, didn't you? And something like "exciting", I suppose...
