Artist's Comments

FULL VIEW PLEASE!! T_T thats the only way to truly appreciate this one...

i am so proud of this... i havent been this happy with the outcome of one of my paintings in a long while <3 it was so fun and easy to do, too.

this is a tribute to what is probably the best music video ever made, the music video for the song "The Scientist" by Coldplay. while most music videos are just a visual to go along with a song, the music video for "The Scientist" is a gorgeous and artistic extension to an already beautifully written song, which resulted in an amazing music video that can never be forgotten by those who have the privilege to view it. i decided to paint one of my favorite scenes from the music video where the leaves are floating upward, but of course, i failed to really capture the scene very well since it is a scene not meant to be frozen in one place like i have portrayed it. this video was probably the first music video i ever actually liked, and its still my favorite. i can barely go a month without finding it on YouTube so i can enjoy it all over again x3 its amazing.

i really dont do enough tributes for the artists who inspire me because i wouldnt be anywhere without inspiration. Coldplay is a very influential and inspirational artist to me, even though I don't play music. many times have i associated some of Coldplay's songs to my various fiction writings because of how wonderfully written they are. i also listen to Coldplay often while working on my paintings :) and while i worked on this, i made sure to put as much time into this as my entire Coldplay playlist, which comes out to be a little over 2 and a half hours, so thats how long this painting took.

done completely in digital oil paints, photoshop CS2.

enjoy <3

I found it on youtube... just wow. At first it seemed like just another "oh woe is me I lost you" song, but that ending meant a lot. The backwards stuff was cool too. :)

I can see why you are proud of this. It's simply beautiful and so full of emotions...
The shading is amazing. Great work!

Awesome! I can't wait for their new album, "Viva la Vida" to come out on the 17th of June. :+fav:
One of the songs are available for download on their website if you want to check it out. I've downloaded it and it sounds really different from the typical coldplay sound (which is not really a bad thing when it sounds this cool). Chris is going for a different approach, I guess, using is lower voice instead of his higher voice. You should check it out. *It sounds pretty good for audiosurf ^_^*

I really like the picture, you captured the mood of the video perfectly.

It's definitely my favorite ever music video and I had to analyze it in my music class a few days ago.

Very well drawn.

I love coldplay, but i've never seen that video before (even though i've heard the song) so I went and looked it up.

I think you've really accomplished what you set out to do with this piece and have created something beautiful. This was my favourite part of the video, the leaves were so pretty.. anyway, the shading here is amazing, as always. Lovely piece for a great song, keep it up =3
