Description it's valentine's day!
if u guys are wondering about the lack of positive message in my piece, it's because i am still single and loving it haha i have no worries. yet
this pic is inspired by what my friend told me just a few days ago... she felt lost without someone by her side, yet is scared of the responsibilities and burdens (?) if she is to enter a relationship.
she is bound by love before she even started the game of it.
love can be a many splendid thing.
but love can also be cumbersome and tiring if not faced with a right attitude...you will be chained for a long time (for life?)
open up your eyes. the key to undo the lock lies about you. be the master of your own fate and seize control.

how glad i am to be single.....

What a strong and very well-represented message!! Your pic is excellent and very eye-catching! It's gorgeous!! But the message with it just makes it that much more powerful!

*claps* really beautiful peice of art. Though it looks simple the fluidity and gracefulness of the curves of her body belies the awkward position you've put her in and really brought out her sense of despair at wanting to shed her heavy chains...

great peice of art with a grand message. >D! I feel burdened sometimes by my own relationship, so I can relate to this picture (granted, I tend to get out of that slump quickly though!) I remeber back in the day when I was single and had mixed feelings of relationships. hehe. Anyway, I just love the feeling of this picture, and the heart-shaped lock really added to that feeling. I like how you can't see her face, makes you think it could be anyone. Good job!

The words are really really great, and fit the piccy most accurately! Hehee, being single is good. Freedon is good. *nod nod*
The pose and chains are really awesome, and the wrinkles in her clothes are cool, too! The parchment-feeling of the paper adds a nice feeling to it, hee hee. ^^

mmmmm.... the feeling to it is so... DAAAARRRK. niice. her position is cool... and dark... and dark... but durnit, i'm kinda freaked out now. why is the world so freaky?! (i just watched the ring last night, and i'm... freaked out. stupid fri. the 13th...)

cirocco In reply to shi-neko [2004-02-15 06:57:30 +0000 UTC]

the ring, ne.... didn't thought it very freaky when i watched it... probably because i was at home and the feel just isn't as good.... i think ju-on is more scary.. (u know ju-on?)

since when does being in a relationship mean that you are chained in? a person can only have the power that other people give to them. if you refuse to be chained into anything, then you never will be!

cirocco In reply to einstienfaust [2004-02-14 05:51:59 +0000 UTC]

i am not talking about love in general, just reflecting on my friend's sentiments... but the truth is that love that might seem genuine and sweet at first might turn bitter later, as no one can be certain of the outcomes.... anyway it's just a drawing, pls don't take it too seriously

thanks for your comments

oh, i never take anything "too" seriously, especially life.

and speaking of the drawing, which i didn't comment on at all.....
i like the coloring a lot, and woohoo for school girl costumes!

DigiAvalon [2004-02-13 21:16:11 +0000 UTC]

I really like the picture at first before I read what your wrote about it. Now it seems even more powerful to me.
About the art:
I really like the simple style to this, the from is very well done, as well as the pose. Nice detail of the hair as well. Its a beautiful piece because it isn't so overdone in rendering, we can just enjoy all the effort you put into the drawing, instead of being wowed by your shading. Also it doesn't take away from you little message, only adds to it. GREAT work! A fav for sure.

thank you so much for the just wanted something simple for the 'special occasion' and yes i believe the whole v day thing is damn commercialized. i am really skeptical about it as u can see...
