Description

*edit: my scanner was working bad... this is how the original looks, more "soft". The other one has this ugly rough shadows that i don`t like in watercolors :P

Ghostly Opera is a short story writen by my friend Alejandro. I`m taking some of this stories and poems to draw some stuff and such.

Media: faber castells as always, and watercolors.

Here is an extract of the story, translated by =JAXMP

...)a human figure played violin madly near a window, there was nothing but silence surrounding him, as though all sound came only from a circle about 5 meters in diameter, and that person was in the center(...)
when i looked up i thought i saw my father playing the violin, small beams of moonlight started seeping through the window, while that cloud that was covering it started dissappearing.

"(...)Cerca de la ventana una figura humana tocaba el violín desquiciadamente, a su alrededor no había sonido alguno, parecía como si todo el sonido emanara de un círculo de unos cinco metros de diámetro y aquella persona estaba justo en el medio(...) . Cuando levante la vista creí ver a mi padre tocando el violín, pequeños rayos de luz lunar comenzaron a entrar por la ventana, mientras aquella nube que tapaba la luna iba desapareciendo. (...) aquella figura que me daba la espalda, comenzó a girarse lentamente dirigiendo su mirada hacía mí, dos grandes ojos cóncavos de color negro se fijaron en mi cuerpo paralizándome totalmente, aquel rostro pálido como el mármol no tenía vida alguna, aquello que yo creí que eran ojos, solo eran huecos en una calavera sin expresión, se mantuvo así por largo tiempo sin cesar de tocar, hasta que una de las cuerdas del violín se cortó debido a la rapidez y violencia con la cual aquel ser tocaba (...)"
