Description She lives!
I draw something new.

This was heavily inspired by my new job and experiences
I needed to produce a piece based on all the things I have learnt.
I have a growing collection of tattoo magazines now…
And I decided to play a-little some oriental styles.
I am really happy and proud of this piece
Because I have done a few different and fun things in it
And I feel it’s still very my own but growing

This was also inspired by a growing curiosity towards old school friends…
And the whole subject of –bad friendships in general-
I discovered how very selfish and childish some people I thought meant a lot to me have turned out to become.
The whole –the friend- the feeder- is about friends that suck you dry and are very one sided! Take a lot of work to keep satisfied and when they are done with you
They are happy to ditch you into the darkness!

I feel no loss to forget people that have forgotten me once I am of no use to them.
This experience sparked this artwork because I was quiet amused to see how undeveloped my older high school –chums- seem to be.

People naturally grow apart and there should be no remorse
But those that still hate me with such a burning passion after so many years are simply making a big twatt of themselves.


I’m just happy to have friends I can trust and support knowing when that day comes when ill be needing the support
They can help me!


everything in this picture revolves and relates to how I feel –bad friends- or –friend feeders- operate.
Not to mention the fact I made it pretty!


thank you for looking

This is quite impressive. I love seeing work that holds such meaning...almost as if it lives. The actual piece is very creative...imaginative and just well done. I love how everything merges together so nicely...it's just awesome! It has such a wicked feel to it. What you say about friends, it's sad but true. I sometimes wonder how people can allow it in themselves to be nothing but evil...even young children. And it's sad that they still act so pathetically throughout their lives. Anyway, I love how you put this together. Great work as always. ^^

Wow. I've ALWAYS loved your art, but this piece, I think, is one of your best on dA.

Your legs look AMAZING here. They always look good, but they just look so shapely and nice in this piece. The hair is also very gorgeous!

One thing I've always admired about your art was that each time I see one of your pictures, I can always find something new that I didn't notice before.

I love this so much. Even though Im only 17, I have had friends like that so many times. It hurts so much. Because of them Im now on my guard all the time with new people.

glittersniffer In reply to alicia1122 [2007-03-25 18:00:39 +0000 UTC]

when your 17 you go through more shit hole mates than when your older i think
the people i have fallen out with have been people i was mates with when 17
so its never too young
sadly
friends can be hard work
they can be hard to keep
and hard to find
but never doubt yourself and let others treat you unkind

yeah, sadly it happens all the time, with almost everyone you will come across. it hurts a lot, but its good experience with people.
i suppose it helps you to gain better friendships, and to realize when to get out of a relationship with people.
painful, but good for you.
at least you arnt lying to yourself when you lose friends. just means you know what you want for yourself and what you dont want.

don't misunderstand me! i think it's a great job and the colouring and everything is amazing, but the position of the left leg is like imposible or really weird XD

glittersniffer In reply to mlle-kaeru [2007-03-25 18:05:50 +0000 UTC]

i have added in a bit more of her -thigh- to the piece
because it did look like her leg came up and around from -nowhere-

your right! but i fixed it in my version

You always have so much going on in your work. I love to just sit and find all of the objects thrown into the mix. The three-eyed bat-cat tangled in between her lags and clawing at her knee is such a great touch. I also really dig the eyeball flower, and the bones in her hair. Always a pretty (and twisted) addition. And does she have "dead" tattooed on her fingers? The colors are as sharp and lovely as always. Very Spiffy stuff lady.
