Remember the Promise

<sub>"To Die For" by the Birthday Massacre

Tighten your tie, boy
You're something to die for
But don't hold your breath now
You're just killing time
Tonight you can dream, boy
Imagine a whisper
If you can keep secrets
Then I'll tell you mine

Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to
Though it brings me to tears now
I need you to know
Look in my eyes, boy
Nothing like yours now
It seems that a lifetime
Is passing us by

So open your eyes...

This is forever but it won't last long
This is a memory that fades away in neverending
In the death of all
That's long been said and done before
We'll wish that we were something more

Stop wasting time, boy
You're late all your life, boy
They won't have the patience
For someone like you
Your memory's fading
I'll love you forever
I'll try to remember
I'll try to hold on

You're standing alone, boy
Waiting for dreams, boy
Waiting for something
To make them come true
Don't ever leave, boy
I'd miss you too much, boy
I'll never forget you
As long as I'm here</sub>

My first original male character, Leo, from my story Demon Eyes. I love him. He always gets me out of a funk when I draw him. I just wanted to draw him in something cool, stretching or something.

I drew him to remind myself of the promise I made to myself to never let go of this dream of sharing my stories to the world. Even if it takes me 50 years. XD

tools: mech pencil, red india ink, copic markers, black india ink, gel pens, and some edits in pscs3.
