"I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
Yeah, I was in the dark.
I was falling hard with an open heart.
I'm wide awake.
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake.
And now it's clear to me that everything you see ain't always what it seems.
I'm wide awake.
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long.
I wish I knew then what I know now.
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down.
Gravity hurts.
You made it so sweet, 'til I woke up on, on the concrete.
I'm falling from cloud nine.
Crashing from the high.
I'm letting go, to-night.
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine.
I'm wide awake.
Not losing any sleep.
I picked up every piece and landed on my feet.
I'm wide awake.
Need nothing to complete myself, no.
I'm wide awake.
Yeah, I am born again, outta the lion's den.
I don't have to pretend.
And it's too late.
The story's over now, the end.
I wish I knew then what I know now.
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down.
Gravity hurts.
You made it so sweet, 'til I woke up on, on the concrete.
I'm falling from cloud nine.
Crashing from the high.
I'm letting go, to-night.
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine.
Thunder rumbling, castles crumbling.
I am trying to hold on!
God knows that I tried seeing the bright side.
But I'm not blind, anymore.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine!
I'm crashing from the high.
Ya know, I'm letting go to-night!
I'm falling from cloud nine!
I'm wide awake..."
I'm sorry that this is a vent art, of all things.
I actually drew this months ago. It just took me forever to finish digitally.
...like just about everything else I've been working on.
SIGH. I'M SORRY I'M A DUMB.
But yeah. I really love this song. c: Don't h8 if you don't like Katy Perry. COS I STILL DO.
I dunno. I connect with the lyrics a lot, and I also wanted to practice shading and anatomy and clouds. So I just sorta mashed all of my needs together into one deviation.
Looking back now, I see that my shading could use a lot of work. But I mean, I'm not professional at all, and I'm still figuring out Photoshop, so bear with me.
ANYWAYS.

The lines and the background I liked, but my shading was lazy and off.
It needs practice.
But thank you very much. ;u;

This is literally perfection.
Period.

Noooo, I know it's off. I'm fully aware of what I should have done. However, I can't go back and re-do it because I got too far before saving.
Maybe one day I'll re-draw it.

Indeed.
However, the idea is that she is waking from the dream, coming back to reality.
And painfully so, for reality can be very harsh at times.

I really love this vent, bringing things out through visual art is always a good way to release negative emotion. I love this song, and you did a fantastic job. The anatomy looks really good, and I like how you did the paws. Fantastic work!

Thank you so much!
And honestly, that was all I was trying to do was get rid of those negative, depressed thoughts. Very tired of them weighing me down.
And as soon as I was done with it, I was able to take a deep breath and just let it all go.
That's one of the greatest feelings to me, personally.
But yeah. c: Thank you for the comment and the compliments and stuff!
Much appreciated!

I often get really negative, depressed thoughts. Best way is to let them out like this. Aren't we all tired of added weight?
Of course! =3 You actually have really good art! I'm going to watch you on my watch account XD (No kidding)
