Description
Inspiration for this piece: An old Mercy Street Post.
The whisper of the night was calm. It was all dark at midnight, the lights dim in the streets and the noise of the rain from Mercy Street as persistent as ever. It dribbled down into the drains where the shadows of the abyssal sewers lay.
The rain did not at all effect her. Beneath her large black umbrella she skipped, skirt held in hand and keeping herself dry as the shadows followed behind her.
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens....”
The sound of the soft melody chimed as she skipped along. The whisper of a shadow passed her feet, but she danced on.
“Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...”
The end of the rain came as she passed the sign, throwing away the umbrella. Darkness pushed beneath her at beck and call, pulling her up to a high balcony where she danced on the railing.
“Brown paper packages tied up with strings...”
Balancing along the balcony railing she wandered along, the skitter of other shadows soon following. A dark dress twirled after her until she jumped to the next, following along with perfect balance.
“These are a few of my favorite things...”
Smiles dawned on pale faces, lifeless eyes gazing forward. Another push and the darkness carried her, brought up towards a rooftop of an apartment in which she could see the city skyline. She skipped along still, watching the edge of the roof and any people down below. Sea green eyes sparkled in the shadows, and she winked to them on her way.
“Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels. Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles. Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings...”
As she reached the end of the roof she gazed towards towards the highest building of all. The Board building. There lay the evil of the city, that no one else could see, that no one else could taste. Even from there she could feel it’s stirring, like a terrible virus. Like a terrible plague. Just like her.
“These are a few of my favorite things...”
Another spin and the darkness swept her on dark wings, clutching to the black dress to help her settle in the ally way before. If peoples eyes were to catch her it would be like watching a girl on stage, twirling on dirt covered toes, blood splattered black dress whirled up in the air, and her unbraided hair a sheet of pure silver. And she danced along, with others behind her.
“Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes. Silver white winters that melt into spring... These are a few of my favorite things...”
Tiptoeing along the shadows sparked to form. Alien like things scratching to life, clawing at the ground with long fingers and eyes wide with glowing green eyes. When its mouth opened the saliva drooled down, trailing the glowing green liquid along in it’s path before licking it up and wiping it from it’s long antenna. They followed along, as if drawn by her song, by her sway and her dance.
“When the dog bites, when the bee stings. When I’m feeling sad...... I simply remember my favorite things... and then I don’t feel-”
Sitting down at the edge of the open alleyway she knelt to her knees, head caught in her hands as she stared outward to the open streets in which in the morning would be so filled with people. These things craved food. Hearts. They said... well. If she wanted to keep her new brothers and sisters of the darkness alive.
“So.... bad...”
Within moments, the beasts hissed and howled, and flooded the streets in a wave of chaos.
Artist Comment:
So here is Maia in flight before she rains chaos down upon the city. Just singing her song as the darkness helps to lift her and take her where she pleases.
I did this on an airplane, amazing aint it? OMG CHRIS YOU HAS AN ART MUSE!? Yes I seem to have one, while my hands are all... wrapped up in ace bandages. I finished coloring this one up. Took about maybe half hr to draw, hr to color in. I was having trouble with the lighting from the moon then gave up and did something simple. But I'm rather proud of it. Her feet look great
Like to thank Scully7491 for the star paintbrushes. He does such a great job <3 Hope he posts more soon.
EDIT
HEY CHRIS! You cant see the stars behind the moon, even if you can tech only see a fraction of it!!!!
Thanks for pointing that out guys :3 Good thing I saved the WIP.
