You and I in a little toy shop
I buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message: "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red ballons go by

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
99 red balloons go by

99 decision street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry!
"This is what we've waited for,
This is it, boys, this is war!"
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a silver hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
And every one a red ballon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go


picture based on "99 luftballons" (99 red balloons) originally sung in german by Nena (there is an english version). While the song is amusing in the front, it actually sends an interesting message. Too bad a lot of it was lost in translation...

Daily DeviationSometimes you just particularly adore something for no apparent reason. Usually for me it's the combination of a variety of things that all click together in a way that makes the deviation hit you just right. With 99 luftballons by *sonicelectronic, the extremely stylistic method of communicating a message has made me stare at this piece for a long time. (Suggested by `delya and Featured by `neoikeia)

Now where did you come up with the idea for the Lump'a-rock? :confused:

Ron: So I guess the crush and everything is all Moodulator huh?

Kim: Not everything, there's still fireworks.
I know. Hence the "Too bad a lot of it was lost in translation..." part :3

SE, your illustrations will never cease to amaze me. <3
You have quite an original style. One that looks like professional illustrations that you would see in a magazine. I love how stylish everything is. Especially Ayotte's body. I'm loving the hips the most. They just look really funky in that style. I'm totally digging it. Her arms are also great. The way they're kinda "chubby" then really thin at the wrist (blah, can't put it into words. But it's great)<3 I think it was a fantastic idea to NOT use black outlines. It makes everything look even more lovely. I'm digging her tail~ And also the way you drew her hair in a ponytail (well... somewhat). I love the contrast between Ayotte and the city. Ayotte's side is all peaceful while the city is well.... chaotic. Just yea, keep up the fabulous work. Your artwork gets lovelier everytime I look at it~ On a random note, I want that top she's wearing. ;3

Much love for the SE!
:heart: :heart:
Soooo CUTE! And look at Ayotte's little butt sticking up in the air. I love. XD; :+favlove:

i love that song....99 red balloons that it THE ORIGINAL'S THE BEST!
