You know you got to stick to your guns When it all comes down Cause sometimes you can't choose It's like heads they win Tails you're gonna lose Win big--Mama's fallen angel Lose big--livin' out her lies Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel Lose it all rollin' the dice of her life
I had this image in mind: a fallen angel who looked like a suicide girl. A punk angel, I guess. I imagined her with tattooes and a gun and then another image popped into my mind: those pretty bear hats that everyone wears now. So cute. So innocent and childish.
So here it is. I had more trouble with the background than with the figure itself, I'm still not satisfied with it, and that pisses me off... But overall I like the result.
