Description

Drawing for an old friend, :iconverathevix:

Sorry if I've made it too... melancholic, but that's all I've had in mind. Tried to give it an actual meaning

Hm, I've been raking my head night and day! But I guess I'm not as eloquent in my language as I would need to be to describe what this means to me.
The light, ever so subtle, gives the ruins an almost gold-like tint in my imagination; the beauty in what is lost, like memories, fading but still with the power to inspire awe and melancholy for times gone by. Heh, as Woody Allen put it; Ozymandias-melancholia.
The figure of the lady is stunning, her dress seemingly morphs her into the ruin; a lone witness to a civilization come and gone, left to observe the inevitable decay of a dead people and the life that takes its place, which gazes back with its own sense of wonder at what once was. Grandiose, absolutely beautiful; it brought tears to my eyes. It affected me more deeply than what I dare speka.
