Here By My Side

Description

A painting I did of Voldemort from the Harry Potter series. (full view please, otherwise it sucks)

Clarification of the setting: A stylized scene of Voldemort placing/checking up on his Horcrux. The dead spirits are people he murders throughout the series. Just a general shot of him with the Horcruxes. (Book 7 edit: If you want to view it as the first time, Kreacher's off to the side, and it'd almost be a kind of future look. All the things he's done with all the things he will do.)

He's checking/setting up the Horcrux, but turning to see behind him the figure of Death and at his back, the spirits of the countless people he's murdered. (In the first row left-to-right are Frank Bryce, Hepzibah Smith, Dorcas Meadows, Cedric, Tom Riddle Sr., then Harry’s parents.) And of course the spirited form of teenaged Tom Riddle.

I wanted to paint the idea of how in making the Horcruxes you murder and rip your soul apart, but you're bringing about death to keep death at bay. And more then that, because it's something personal about Voldemort.

Well, I won't really say more on it, let you look over that stuff on your own, hopefully I got the point across. I finished it last weekend, and I'm on that last bit of the seventh book. I'll probably finish more pictures of Tom Riddle after the last book is done, but I wanted this up first. Tom Riddle was just one of my, well, "favorite" characters, for lack of a better word.



Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven

Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven

Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again

Careful, be careful

Here by my side, it's Heaven


-Weapon, Matthew Good Band
