:faint: This took all night! :faint:

I liked having hurt,
So send the pain below where I need it,
You used to beg me to take care of things,
And smile at the thought of me failing.

But long before, having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below.

Much like suffocating.

- Send The Pain Below by Chevelle

My DA page was looking empty, so I decided to create my first *DrowningSirens deviantID! :w00t:

This image was painted entirely in Gimp in around six hours.

"In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous and devious creatures, portrayed as femmes fatales who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island." - Siren - Wikipedia

I'm grateful for any criticism. This is my first piece painted entirely in Gimp with a wacom bamboo tablet - so feel free to offer suggestions. :smooch:

:heart: *DrowningSirens

:new: Check out the Work In Progress for this piece. :eager:

Oh, this is just beautiful. I can't believe that you did something this great on your first try on a tablet. You should be proud of yourself :)
I love her expression
