Artist's Comments

One hour until the contest deadline, but I made it! :faint: And it took me some time to figure out how much is 11.59PST on my timezone, agh. @_@ Currently 10.53PST and counting, la-de-dah. I am guessing it meant AM and not PM cuz if it's PM, I have all the time in the world and will feel like a complete idiot.

This was for dA's 8th birthday. Lots of fancy contests and events were held in celebration, and Manga/Anime artists got a contest called Track 8. Read more info here. Summa summarum, you had to illustrate the 8th track from one of your favorite musical albums. It was a hard task to decide which one... I have a lot of favorites. :'D

Song: The Riddler by Nightwish from the album Oceanborn (1999). Yep, you guessed it, it's the 8th track on the said album!

The lyrics are looooong, so please read them here [link] Interpret the lyrics as you wish, but this is the mental image I got when I was thinking about the song. Most I'm going to tell you now is that the boy there (yes, that's a boy) is the Riddler himself.

Yeah, I have this real bad habit of procrastinating until the night before the deadline or so. Maybe I just like the emotional pressure in some sick way. XD

And thanks~ :heart:
