This, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of fail. ._.

I know I didn't get the perspective right with the truck, and the background looks wishy-washy, and her skin tones and shadows leave much to be desired for me. BUT. I've been working on this picture on and off for a good part of two months now, and I didn't want it bugging my brain anymore. PLUS I have a story that could only be posted AFTER this pic was put up. Hope maybe I did SOMETHING right. P:

Anyway, it's Sawyer "GoldenWinged" Odisark and her old truck broke down on the side of a lonely road, and she's just enjoying the sights until the tow truck comes along.

And NO, I wasnt lazy and only put shinies on the cab, the bed part of the truck is a replacement, off-color matte finish. Told you it was a piece of junk P:
This truck is inspired off an old truck my best friend used to have IRL. It's now sitting at an engine repair place and I went over and took some pictures of it for this illustration.

This song is my inspiration.

Don Henley - Boys of Summer

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets,
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand
What's happened to our love,
But babe I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're
Smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today
I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said,
"Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was,
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that
Radio on baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those
Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
