Description This is my entry for the "Music Inspires" Contest.

(This time I read the rules )

The Song is "Faithless - I Can't Get No Sleep"

Maybe I understand the text wrong because english is not my native language,
but when I heard it, this picture came up on my mind...

The Apple won't let Ezio and Leo sleep, because they always think about it.
And so they meet in the middle of the night and think together about where it comes from,
what it can do and what they should do with it...

The Lyrics:

I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep I can't get no sleep

I need to...
...deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle, fight dark forces
In the clear moon light
Without fear... insomnia

I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream of
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pepped
Deeper still, that night I write by candle light
I find insight, fundamental movement, uh
So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack
Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

This takes me 4 hours and is done with charcoal pencils.

Ezio and (this) Leo belongs to Ubisoft, the picture is mine, so please don't use it without my permission!

daww... Thank you!
But I think I'll have to draw it again... Now that I started to use Randes as reference it realy annoys me, that Ezio's face doesn't look like Ezio on this pic...

getting a face right is one thing. there is plenty of art out there that is so on point with accuracy its scary...scarier yet, sometimes that kind of art doesn't have anything else to offer aside from aesthetics...that being said, I think you got one of the key things: the atmosphere :}
