Damn title character restrictions.</sub>

Anywho, here's my TL;DR blurb.

So this is the school assignment that’s been taking up all of my art-s-ing time since September.

The assignment was to create three pieces (hence, Triptych) of art in the same medium with the same subject, each the same size and revolving around the same theme.

I chose the following for anyone who is interested

Medium: Digital Media
Subject: Story Illustration
Size: (printed at) 11x14 inches
Theme: No happy endings, no exceptions

But instead of picking some written story, I chose songs that told stories. But songs with lyrics that mean what they say and say when they mean. Taking the lines literally they tell a story. Yay for musical tales

The layout is set as if taken from the (non-existent) music video for said song. The center image is a screen caption with subtitles at the bottom of the screen to indicate which point of the song I am imaginarily attempting to depict… while the film strip at the top shows different shots of the video including the musicians that actually created the song (like most music videos include) and the couple separately, done in a different effect.

The second of three is My Home Sweet Homicide by Wednesday 13 (gotta love the play on words there, eh?). The story of a man who’s life is so far gone that he spends the rest of it with an antagonizing woman who is doing only God knows what to him. Please tell me if you see a happy ending coming out of that sentence.

This one was a little easier to put together because there was already a music video for it, but that was the only thing about this entire project that was easy -_-;

Time taken: Aprox. 15 hours
Textures:

I already know the million and one mistakes and improvements that can be made, but critique is still welcome Always is.

I've got nothing to lose that's why I'm with you
My X-Ray glasses don't lie
And the best thing about our future
Is knowing that I'm gonna die

It's a simple mistake that anyone could make
And I guess I won the grand prize
A lifetime supply of misery
My home sweet homicide

And I'm so love sick, sick of you
I guess I'll see you in hell
But I'm sure you'd ruin that too

You'll be the death of me
Baby you're my home sweet homicide

You're the reason why I never even tried
You're the biggest star in your own mind
No anti-dote, it's a f***ing joke
And I'll never get out alive

Now on the count of three
Won't you bury me
Close the casket and say goodbye
And its ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My home sweet homicide

And I'm so love sick, sick of you
I guess I'll see you in hell
But I'm sure you'd ruin that too

You'll be the death of me
Baby you're my home sweet homicide

And I'm so love sick, sick of you
I guess I'll see you in hell
But I'm sure you'd ruin that too

You'll be the death of me
Baby you're my home sweet homicide
