  Hi everybody. How's it going?

Time of Post: 3:09 pm
Music at that time: "Enter Sandman", by Metallica

I've been feeling kind of depressed lately. Maybe it's because this is probably my last summer to relax and work on my art. Next year my mom is probably going to make me get a summer job. -_- I don't want to spend all summer getting up early and going to bed early for some job I don't need or want that'll suck away all my art time. Feh, this sucks.

Anyway, if you didn't see yesterday's post, please check it out. I need some assurance from those who have seen the FB anime if I'm going to take the gamble of buying it and watching it.

By the way, special thanks to MadamRyeka for dedicating 2 new pieces to me! In addition, she's also submitted a lot of other new art. Please check out her artwork here.
Thank you, Parks! I’ve always been a big fan of your work, and I hope to see more from you!
And by the way, yes, I am fully aware of Ryeka’s unique style. But hey, who’s complainin’!? XD

Man, I love Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden, but when it comes to awesome lyrics, Metallica schools em' all. Many of their lyrics have inspired stories and even characters for my manga. Not to mention the 2 themes I want to use for my manga are both by Metallica. I want to see how you guys would interpret these lyrics, so take a quick listen and tell me what you think, OK?:

"Hey,
I'm your life,
I'm the one who took you there.
Hey,
I'm your life,
I'm the one who cares.
They,
They'll betray.
I'm your only true friend now.
They,
You'll betray,
I'm forever there.

I'm your dreams, make you real,
I'm your eyes when you must steal,
I'm the pain when you can't feel,
Sad but true.
I'm your dreams, mind astray,
I'm your eyes while you're away,
I'm the pain while you repay,
You know it's sad but true.
So sad, but true.

You,
You're my mask.
You're my cover, my shelter.
You,
You're my mask.
You’re the one who's blamed.
Do,
Do my work.
Do my dirty work, scape-goat.
Do,
Do my deeds,
For you're the one who's shamed.

Hate,
I'm your hate!
I'm your hate when you want love.
Pain,
Pay the price.
Pay for nothing's fair.
Hey,
I'm your life,
I'm the one who took you there.
Hey,
I'm your life,
and I no longer care!

I'm your dreams, make you real,
I'm your eyes when you must steal,
I'm the pain when you can't feel,
Sad but true.
I'm your truth, telling lies,
I'm your reasoned alibis,
I'm inside, open your eyes,
I'm you!
Sad but true!

How cool is that? I'd like to hear how you guys would interpret those lyrics, so fire away! I'm all ears!

OK, I'll see you all tomorrow!
