(Warning: This is long winded. )

Nia was captured for ten years before he ever saw another one of his kind. He longed for freedom many a long hour.

So.. some personal things, because I feel better when I talk about stuff. I've never felt welcome in my family, even now at age 22.. my Sister and i don't have a relationship, and my Mother and I are fighting again. My Dad.. I don't really know the man. Addiction and depression run strong in my family, I've had my share of both.

I live away from home now, with my boyfriend, but this past week my Mother and I got into a fight. I tried talking to her once in person, she just took off.. and the other time I called her to make amends, she hung up the phone on me. My Dad's birthday came around and they came out to the restaurant where i work. She just ignored me, so did my sister and her husband. I've never cried at work before, but I did that night.

Sorry for this long drabble.. but, to sum up I've fallen back into a hard depression. Making this emotion filled piece helped me feel a little better..

I paid careful attention to the little details, and even though the anatomy on this is off, (as usual) I really wanted to elongate him in places, and really stress his features so that people got a feeling of longing and sadness from this. The colors were inspired from a Chinese watercolor painting. I also listened to this while I made this piece:

Because sad movies/music are always good for placing the mood.

*Hugs Nia* Thanks Nia.. for feeling pain right along with me.. I'm completely dejected from my family.. and in this piece, so is he.

I guess that's the beauty of art and role playing.

*edit* I forgot to mention that I cut off the little butterfly because I wanted to give that part of the image a sense of uncomfortable stress.
