Muse... Be My Muse

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh. This (unfinished and may never be finished) drawing looked so much better in my head:

It started with Starlight by Muse:

 

My Life

You electrify my life

Let's conspire to re-ignite

All the souls that would die just to feel alive

 

From that, I got this idea of two hands touching and 'electrifying' each other in some romantic way, like having the spark between the two hands take the form of a heart or a butterfly. Then I started working off of this whole "opposites attract" theme with the canvas being divided into two different colours (of course, the typical male = blue; female = pink). Then I tried shading the hands (not shown) and my motivation disappeared when I realized how it was turning out (terribly).

 

Anyway, used a reference for the top right hand, and mostly used my own hand as a reference for the bottom left.

Random note, but does anyone else keep track of books that they've read? I started doing that August 2008. I just thought it'd be cool to see how many books I read :XD: Here's my list if anyone is interested. At first I wasn't going to keep track of rereads but I changed my mind half way through.. so I read a few of these books multiple times :oops:

It must have looked [bleep]ing amazing in your head because for you to not be happy with how good it already is, is insane :) Seriously. So good. :)

Man I love that song :thumbsup: Wish I can do something creative like that, and pink used to be a male color and blue was for females.

I can't tell, are you quoting I Belong to You in the title? Regardless, that is a great piece! The only thing I would improve is the cloudy hearts; I can't tell if they're supposed to be firm or light and airy...

 

EDIT: Nevermind, no you're not, I Belong to You says, "You are my Muse," not ," Be my Muse." :P
