When all the screaming is through
What: a piece of art inspired by Milo Ventimiglia/Alexis Bledel and Dima Bilan
Paper: white A3 (=2x a normal sheet)
Pencils: 4h, 3h, 2h, h, hb, b, 2b, 4b
+ink, watercolors
Original photography by: Milo -Zink magazine, Alexis -Sheryl Neilds
Story behind the picture: I ran into these two amazing photos of Milo and Alexis when I was randomly surfing in GG-sites. Originally I was going to look for something pretty for a L/L-pic but instead of that I got lost in a great Italian J/R-site. I went through the photoshoots of Milo and Alexis. At first I saw the pic of Alexis and when I browsed through the photoshoots of Milo and saw Zink magazine outtakes.. Wow. I was surprised -the pics aren't from a same photoshoot but still, they seem to belong together. The mood, the lightning, everything works so well when you put these two together. I've been listening to Russian pop a lot lately and when I was looking at the images one song started to play inside my head -Not That Simple (Ti dolzhna Ryadom Byt) by Dima Bilan. The story of the song is so similar to the mood of the images. I took my pencils and started to draw. Almost 48 hours of drawing, my back hurts like hell.. But here it is. ^^ It's finished, it's pretty and it's a little more than just a copy of the original photographs.
I have to warn you though -the word "inspired" is there for a reason. The pics aren't initially too big and after PSP and printing they were quite blurry. I didn't try to draw Milo and Alexis, I just took the mood, poses and light out of the pics. Of course there's something that reminds you of the two young stars, but I just wanted to draw a beautiful girl and a handsome boy, and I guess I succeeded in that. :)
The pic is twice as big as my scanner so I had to scan it in three pieces and build up with the help of PSP. The red stripes suffered in this process so I fixed them up with PSP tools. That's why you can't see the text properly. In the original drawing the shadows on the floor and on the wall and the window behind the guy can are stronger.
Not that simple
english lyrics
You should've written me a letter
Instead of saying what you say
It could've turned out so much better
And now your words play inside my head
I thought that I was nothing mean
By setting you free
It seems the memories are dead
And now I'm out of my head
It's not how I planned it
Chorus
You should be loving me
You should be holding me
Why do you choose
To turn yourself loose
Every word means to me
Yet you try desperately
Turning away -
Baby, it's not that simple
For all the nights I lie here waiting
Morning finds me by myself
All you can say that I'm creating
My own sad match, my own hell
For all the loneliness I feel
I still want you here with me
When all the screaming is through
I've always been left with you
It's not what I wanted.
Chorus x3

Feedback would be nice, especially if you aren't a fan of Gilmore Girls or Alexis/Milo. I'd love to hear if the drawing works out of the context or not. ^^
And of course, if you want to add this (fan) art/graphic journal to see the upcoming works (more Alexis/Milo ahead!), please, help yourselves. ^__^
