    Ok so any song lyric and we turn it into horror sci-fi right? It does not have to start as a dark horror song? I'll have to think about this one.

    I always found this particular bit rather amusing:

    "and when I get scared, you're always around"

    Far too many awesome ideas, but I think i'll go for something simple so that I can actually get it finished this week.

    Will post as soon as I finish work (Damn you employment and your hour devouring ways...)

    to be honest i've used an idea from carl666s and a suggestion from em... i took it to mean use a song that has a horror/sci-fi theme. em... mentioned 'Calling Occupants of interplanetary craft' i was thinking Hotel California - don't fear the reaper etc. I'd like to her what carl666s & em.... think. I don't think guessing the lyric is necessary g8.

    Personally I think using any Lyrics from any song and not have to be specifically a Sci-Fi or Horror song in theme. i think a lot of us may not be able to think of a song that's specific to that subject matter.

    I can think of a lot bands songs that can still be visualized in this manner.

    From Bands like Iron Maiden, Judist Priest, Metallica. Even bands like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds or Joy Division...eg.

    but this is just my opinion and not meant to start a debate.

    Best

    Hi everyone,

    The original idea was just to depict any song lyric as an image.  Em... rightfully suggested that that was too vague and to limit it to Horror/Sci-fi theme.

    So it can be any lyric from any song but it has to fit into the theme.

    Have to admit i'm struggling to choose just one idea, maybe we should have said either Horror or Sci-fi instead of both.

    "Your in the Psycho Circus and I say welcome to the show" - Kiss 

    WIP1 - Working on two images but this one could be pretty good, just hope I have enough time.

     

    Edit: Quick question.  Am I still within the rules if i'm drawing known figures and using references?
