Submit: Week 286
ATTENTION: Please note that this challenge will run for two weeks, as I will be at an Anime Convention for the majority of next weekend ;) Also don't forget to vote over here
The themes for Week 286 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
General: Headless
Your icon must feature a character(s) cropped right at the neck, nothing above that should be visible, so the focus is on what they're wearing and not their face(s). Doing close crops of other body parts, even if no head is technically featured, does not count for this theme.
Texture: Hybrid Genesis
http://www.hybrid-genesis.com
You must use the texture shown below. You may colour, cut, crop or combine it however you wish, as well as include outside imagery and other materials, so long as it is still clear that you incoporated at least part of the provided resource.

Lyrics: All Good Things
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible.
All Good Things (Come To An End)
Nelly Furtado
Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Miss everything daydreaming
[Chorus]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
[repeat]
Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
[Chorus]
Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could...
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
[Chorus]
Well the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it will come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
And remember that each icon you enter earns you one ballot for May's Submitter of the Month contest (it's your last chance to enter this month's draw) as well as a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
