Contest entry for: Jammin' Session Contest 1 Week Left!
Song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV7QjF…
Artist's Comments: I love this song so much. The first time I heard it I immediately wanted to put them in an underwater scene, it wasn't till I read the lyrics in english did I realize it actually talked about the sea!

"I wish someone would sprinkle sea,
Upon my head;
I want to bathe with the fish and sun,
That are sinking down upon me."

The first verse really stuck with me and so I used it as the main inspiration for the picture. The way I interpretate the song is about life and its ups and downs. At one part they talk about "reaching the top of an abandoned building" and then next they're in "a whirlpool of creaking voices." Though I imagined as seeing how close these two are that no matter what happens they will rise and fall together. That if one of them hits the bottom, the other will willingly dive down to help bring him back up.

This was my first attempt at an underwater picture, never done something like this before so I had lots of fun experimenting with this picture. I had no idea I was going to pull off an underwater shading on them when I first started but kinda just went with the flow. This took such a long time to make accompanied with lots of screaming and hair tearing as I didn't know how I was convey this right but in the end I'm really proud of the way it turned out!! I swore I listened to that song on repeat the whole time I was drawing this, its so good. 

I'm glad I was able to finish this (and on time //papming)
Good luck to everyone else in the contest~! ^^
