"I wish for this night-time

To last for a lifetime

The darkness around me

Shores of a solar sea

Oh how I wish to go down with the sun

Sleeping

Weeping

With you"

-"Sleeping Sun," by Nightwish

Album: Oceanborn (1998, Spinefarm Records)

Well whaddya know, another Nightwish pic... AND it happens to be the solar eclipse inspired song RIGHT after we had the recent solar eclipse! What a coinkydink. :B 

This is not only the first Nightwish song I heard back in the day, but one of the first few songs that actually introduced me to symphonic/power metal. Had a lot of fun with this one, even though I struggled with the posing a bit, aaaargh. I knew for a while I wanted to do a piece with Sun and Moon themed ladies, and I ended up borrowing heavily from Venetian Masks for their headpiece designs!
