if I don't make it back from where I've gone, just know i loved you all along
And what you see is not the dark
It’s just the gods upturning inkpots
Cos they know what you’ll become
i had a lot of fun with this! text is from Inkpot Gods by the Amazing Devil, if you've not listened to it yet, do it now!
i've had this idea in my head for at least a year, this is the earliest record of it i can find
I've tried executing it at least once before, digitally, and it didn't work out. but yesterday two things aligned, i saw beautiful TAD art by @jakienova and i spilled soda all over my laptop, so digital art wasn't an option.
i considered many other lyrics to illustrate, but eventually went with my oldest idea. i was a little afraid i wouldn't be able to do my imagination justice. i think i did though :)
some progress pictures!
i used acrylic paint from the Amsterdam line by Talens, pigmented ink from Koh-i-Noor, and Van Gogh watercolours, i think also from Talens
all forms of interaction with this post appreciated, but words most of all :)

Me: haha, THaTW is the most emotional album
Me, a few weeks later: Nvm, Ruin is more emotional
Me, a few weeks after that: *sobbing in the corner with Love Run blasting in my headphones*

okay so I haven’t even logged into this account for like over a year BUT I have been listening to The Amazing Devil NONSTOP since like mid-May (before which I didn’t even know they existed)—
—and if there’s one platform I trust to have the majority of their demographic gather it’s, of course, here- so I’m back! Hi!!
and
(Also I’m working on a doc that is compiling *every* connection I can find between the lyrics of all the tracks across all 3 current albums so if anyone would like I would be beyond happy to share it when it’s done—)

Anyone here with a better rhythmic knowledge than me know what's the time signature of The Old Witch Sleep and The Good Man Grace?

The emotional gut punch that is Chords and all the accepting-your-parents'-faults-and-moving-on-from-them that comes with it has NO right being right before The Old Witch Sleep and The Good Man Grace.

the amazing devil had no right writing the lines "i wish i'd done things different, i wish that i'd been brave" and singing them with their angelic voices while the soft music is playing because they make me sob every fucking time
