Mysterious thing

Description

This is part of my collection of past digital art – deviations that I don't consider to be of significant artistic value, but are part of my journey as an artist.


Inspiration
This is part of a photoshoot I did about a while ago. I spent two-thirds of a day, off an on, writing on my arm, as you can see. This picture, however, focuses more on my other hand, the hand not covered in permanent marker.

As you can see, I have about nine bracelets. :aww: They all symbolize different things and have great memories attached to them. For example, two of them were bought, one's from Brazil (my friend went and brought me back a bracelet) and there's more. Two I actually melted so that they wouldn't come off. In the process, I burned myself. Note: Do not hold a match under your wrist. It does not end well.

Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
It won't let me go.

I've been waiting all my life to be loved, to belong.
Givin' all I've got to show I'm here, and I'm strong.
All this hurtin', holding on, letting go, and carryin' on...
In the gentle stream of time, it's been here all along.

Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
It won't let me go.

Everytime I feel you near, I'm in love, I'm in awe.
I've been searching for a love that lifts me up,
and puts me down gently.
There've been times I've thought I've found it,
and soon felt the loss.
And I know I can't hold it down, still I just can't give up.

Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
Love is a mysterious thing,
It won't let me go.

Technique
Credit goes to my sister for capturing this unique and rather wonderful picture. We were going a bit crazy with the photoshoot: I was just moving on instinct and she was... taking pictures. :shrug: I don't know what she was doing, all I know is that she got this.
I really appreciate her putting up with me during this sort of thing. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

This hasn't had much editing done to it, mainly just the crop and a bit of colour adjustment. I love the colour so much, and the clarity is stunning, in my opinion. (Don't take that like I'm arrogant, like I said, credit goes to my sister.)
