Description I’m finally seeing In Legend live again next month, so I wanted to do some fanart… and here it is! The titles are the song titles to which the paintings relate. Just in case you couldn’t tell. They’re all online, by the way (aren’t those guys nice?): www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSZNsk…
With the exception of Heya… for some reason.

At first, I had planned to do one big painting for several songs in one, but that wouldn’t be very convenient to carry around in my bag during the gig, plus I don’t have that many big sheets of paper and printing is expensive enough already. So I ditched the idea and did five small paintings. I had also planned to do paintings for Heaven Inside and Vortex as well, but I have quite a lot of other things still lying on my desk, so five paintings will have to do for now.

All of them are mostly drawing ink with some watercolour remnants. Hard to tell what the dried up mess I keep re-using actually is.

3/5. Yes, it’s tiny. This one’s quite the odd one out with not being blue and all, but somehow this song is very… reddish. It must be the bleeding heart association. Accidentally, I didn’t listen to In Legend for once when I coloured it, but to ReVamp, maybe that kinda… influenced me. I really wish I couldn’t relate to certain lyrics so well.

This reminds me a little of your "demon love" which you painted almost two years ago, and which is beautiful. I like how you've done something similar without repeating yourself and doing very subtle light and shadow on the girl's skin.
Movingly captures a feeling!

Because both paintings are based on the same song! Well, and on other things of course (Demon Love is a song as well, though quite a different one and by quite a different band).
I’m really glad you recognised that and that I haven’t repeated myself too much!

This is my favorite in your gallery. Very expressive but still understated and a bit mysterous not to mention very well done.

Thank you! I’m quite satisfied with it, too. I suppose sometimes it’s the small and simple things that work best.

By the way, you have a wonderful style and technique yourself!

It is a bit unfair that the things that you work hardest on rarely turns out to be your best stuff.
Thank you so much for the compliment.

Naturally, it's music-inspired . Then again, what in my gallery isn’t?
