Dancing at the Dawn of the Apocalypse

Photo Manipulation

Musical inspiration: Akira Yamaoka.

There are no lyrics, only music. I find his music haunting and it sets a rather melancholy mood, both beautiful and sad.
I listen almost exclusively to Yamaoka songs (mostly the soundtracks from the Silent Hill games/movie – my absolute faves) when I am creating. They inspire me like nothing else can.

Here are Dance with Night Wind and Tears of… which inspired the mood for this pieces.

    I like the dress it reminds me of waves : ). The waves and waterfall are both wonderful. The over all mood of the picture is very dark and mysterious, it has a end of the world feeling to it. The birds in the backround with the light part of the sky give off a feeling of hope. Awesome job!

  • AsylumWitch replied

    I’m delighted you like this one. =D I was definitely going for the ‘end of world’ feel. Thank you for your comments. I love feedback!! ((hugs))
