Hold down your head now, just let me pass by. Don't feed my fear if you don't want it out.

I fear who i am becoming, i feel that i'm losing all beauty within. I can no longer restrain it, my strength it is fading. I have to give in.

It's the fear, the fear of the dark it's growing inside of me. They won, it will come to life. Have to save, save my beloved, there is no escape because my fate is horror and doom.

Lyrics to 'It's the fear' by Within Temptation

(I have been maning to illustrate these lyrics for quite a while now, it's such a powerful song, and once again the magnificent horse (or in this case unicorn) provided the perfect image in my mind...then i just had to put it onto paper (Easier said than done)! Anyway here's my attempt. I decided to use white chalk on black paper for a change, the first time i'd used this medium in YEARS! Actually, this is the second attempt. The first one i ruined when i used too much hairspray to stick the chalk, and unfortunatly that one was the better version...DARN!!! All the same i'm quite happy with this, it's almost exactly as i visioned it!)

Very nice!!! I don’t remember seeing this one tho.....maybe.....course, I don’t get the chance to come by here as often as I’d like...maybe that’s it. Bit I love this. Me thinks I need to find some black paper. 1

I love this, the simplicity yet detail is simply incredible.

:-) Sam Adams replies: "YAY!!! Some detail was lost when i mucked up the first version but i’m really glad you still like it!"

This is beautiful! It’s hard to put white pencil to dark paper and you got the highlight and blending perfect in this! Well done

Much depth to this piece! Your detail in this is fantastic! You’ve captured the emotion in this very well. I can see how much you have improved! Keep drawing. You are SO talented!15

:-) Sam Adams replies: "Music inspires me a lot, i just can’t always draw what’s in my head...sometimes it works though1! Thanks for the huge compliment, Jamie."

Great Job! I have only the deepest admiration for those that can draw using chalk. Me and chalk or charcoal just don’t get along.

:-) Sam Adams replies: "hee hee this was a one off, but thank you for the praise, it gives me confidence to try another."
26 Nov 2010:-) Wayne H. Hodge
You’re welcome and you should try another one as this one came out just fine.
