A contest entry for :iconninetails390:'s contest which revolves around activism. :) I chose her character Aly since I really like her design and I had a really good idea for her. Aly represents environmental activism, which I'm sure all of you have heard many times.
I chose the song Imagine by John Lennon because I really love it and it does deserve the title of best song of all time. It basically describes our ideal world, perfect and peaceful. Since the song talks about earth for the most part, I thought it would be fitting.
If you can't see the lyrics written in the background, here are the lyrics. There are certain reasons why I chose to put those specific lyrics there.

The sun says:

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one


^I think I may have made a typo in this one but I'm too lazy to change it. :laughing:

And the toxic smoke says:

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man


There's lots of meaning behind the background (sandy grass turning infertile ground) including the direction Aly is headed and what is behind her. I'll leave it to you to figure out the rest. :)

"How in hell are you going to recognize a legitimate holy man when you see one if you don't even know a cup of consecrated chicken soup when it's right in front of your nose?"
:iconahqua:
Thank you! :D I think this is the first time I used a different colour for shading rather than just using a darker base colour.
