so now finally we can have "Detroit" instead of the umbearable "D'Etroit" ..about time xD

The headline is from my initial 2013 upload and I have not the remotest recollection of to what it referred if I ever knew!

I can see why this one got as much attention as it did. The composition is rock solid, the palette is both contrasting and eye-catching. This would've made a downright iconic album cover.

...and y'know, the DeviantArt reason of 'somewhat conventionally attractive and has boobies subject matter'

This is certainly not the only time i put breasts in an image! In fact when i do that may even restrict the amount of attention I can get for a picture.

I do not mind people liking this drawing, only people liking it to the exclusion of every single other thing I ever made, particularly those which better represent my own ideas.

I can almost taste the music just from looking at it!

Though lost, I presume if it were ever found it would smell like it sounds.

Quite the striking scene her sultry outfit combined with the over the color range makes me very curious what the music would have been like

Hard drive crash sounds like an excuse. Music can be recorded again.

It might have been all digital compositions without sheet music for all I know. The music I have made is like that, certainly.

You mean you immediately forgot what you done, not even basic ideas?

I have a few hundred maybe little recordings just of foundations for tunes. much like written or typed notes, once I create them they almost immediately go out of my mind. Completed compositions I would definitely remember for some time but not necessarily be able to recreate all the little subtle pieces of. and after a few years it is highly possible to forget even completed works, UNTIL i encounter them again. That happens with drawings all the time.

Guess I am just weird to remember most of my ideas.

That is certainly impressive if you have thousands and thousands of ideas! when I say they "go out of my mind" i don't mean permanently, they just cease to be at the forefront where i worry about forgetting them.

Ooops, should have used "ideas for creations". Cause I have way less than a thousand. And I did not suffer the misfortune of losing any. If I do, and it was something special, I'll just recreate.

why does it frustrate you?

Because it was a long time ago and I have done much better things than this since then! And also before then.

oh i see, if it makes you feel better a lot of artist hate DD,
i just really adore the background here and im glad you got a DD

Thank you for liking it and also for liking other things! I appreciated the attention at the time but it was so fleeting and fake. Most people who look at the one picture don't look at anything else. Because they ONLY look at daily deviations, i suppose. they let someone else choose everything for them. And not just on deviantart. So they don't even really care about the art I made, just in following whoever showed it to them. So I shouldn't worry about being summed up with this one piece because anybody who does that never considered me as a person to begin with!
But the whole thing seems so random. Why was this chosen and why could nothing I did be chosen ever again? How could I only be a good artist for one day when drawing something i didn't even understand? That makes no sense.
I ask that rhetorically; it is not for you to answer!
