Schubert's Gretchen am Spinnrade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozCirLYxSBI, which depicts a young woman driven crazy after being seduced by Faust:
Meine Ruh’ ist hin, (My peace is gone)
Mein Herz ist schwer, (My heart is heavy)
Ich finde sie nimmer
Und nimmermehr. (I shall find peace nevermore)
Mein armer Kopf
Ist mir verrückt. (My poor head is crazed)
Mein armer Sinn
Ist mir zerstückt. (My poor mind, shattered)
A personal doodle of a scene from my D&D campaign - in an ambitious attempt to conquer the spiritual animal avatar of the Realms, she succeeded but lost her mind in the process, being subsumed by its power and reverting to a feral state. Her mind and personality are restored, however, with the intervention of a bardic grand master: The sound of distant music eventually guide her through a dark dreamscape to gather the shattered aspects of herself - it begins, however, with the simple memory of a painting...

Well, this was an unexpected delight! The image alone would be hauntingly beautiful in any context; however, the imaginative backdrop of your D&D campaign, and above all the inspiration of the Schubert leid, have the effect of raising it to a whole new level.
I love to see the mingling of different creative disciplines to give us something completely new and vibrant. In this case the various 'voices' span centuries: von Goethe's poem, Schubert's song (written when the composer was only 17, WTF???), and your modern flair for gaming and genius and skill at visual expression. An example: Schubert evokes the spinning wheel with running semiquaver passages, and you acknowledge this explicitely, including a fragment of the score right there in the image.
This is simply one of the best uploads to FA that I've come across in a long time, and there's no way on god's green earth that AI could ever have come up with it. Thank you for creating this.

Awww, wow, thank you so much for the wonderful words and commentary <333
((It's kind of fun to mix in real-world influences in my D&D stuff. The D&D world isn't real in our world, but in the D&D world, our world is real! It exists as a multiverse, and so dropping in references to things from our world is, like... actually a possibility, haha.))
lol, I'll admit, there was a moment when I considered having the woman in the painting on a spinning wheel, but I declined :b The song reference was really only to be symbolic of my character's starting position of being lost and broken, subsumed in this other being's essence - in the game, she'd lost her mind entirely (rendered unplayable - I played other temporary characters in the meantime), until she hears the music played by a master bard and regains some amount of self-awareness again deep inside her own mind, and follows the strains of music to find the other pieces of herself again. I suppose I'll have to find other other pieces of music to represent this XD
Again, thank you so so much <333 So glad you got a kick outta all the random nerdy details I tried to put into this :)

Um, I guess it took me a couple hours :b But yeah, lol, I think most of the time was me trying to get the actual music notation into the image XD Just sort of was piddling around in Photoshop and when I was done I was like, oh, huh, this turned out pretty nice I think? lol
