I've seen this picture before but I never remembered that you used an emilie autumn song for the title and lyrics... I think I like it even more now. : D

i really like the effects of the water falling, also how the white gives it a sense of... alienation, i think. It's very interesting, even if you did it with no ideas in mind XD This would totally go well with your other painting "blessed be thy hate"

I wish my fuck-arounds were as awesome and compelling as yours. 
The simple colors are an instant win.
And the water is so flowy and hypnotic as it falls.

I love this. I'm not even going to pretend to sound smart, I just ... love it. Dark solidity vs insubstantial luminosity ... linear gravity vs shapeless entropy ... (ok, I tried a little...)
Some of the best artwork can come from turning off your brain and "just fucking around." Fewer filters to get in the way of the good stuff

Kitteh you never cease to amaze me even when you're just fucking around.
I was really entertained by the swirls...like the attention deficit freak I am lol.
There could e a lot of meaning behind this piece but I won't go into them because I think my comment would last forever.
Two thumbs way way up for this, kitteh. It always brightens my day to see your works.

Your "fucking around" looks better than my "honest attempt."
Terrific piece here, and I think I would buy a print of the smoke effect alone. Great job!

Drawing the dude was just the excuse to draw swirly inky smoke

It has been awhile since I have heard from you. I like this one a lot. I have always admired art that lets you draw the line with implied connections. Lovely work on the hair and as usual you color choices are perfect. Nice watery effect with the glass and I love the way the smoke dances in mystic runes.

Oooh, luuurvely~ I know you probably get complimented on how you draw/paint hair all the time, but this is an especially beautiful head of hair because it looks very dimensional, as if it's actually wrapped around the scalp, while maintaining your wonderful woogly stylization. I can't stop looking at it.
...And I keep seeing jellyfish in those smoky tendrils XD

Seeing jellyfish is not a bad thing at all :'D Thank you so much, I also like how the hairz turned out. <3

Oddly enough reminds me of Pink Floyd - related artworks. None in particular, just the feel.

Ooh, I actually really really like this (partially because I'm one of those creepy people who can be entertained for hours by dropping ink or paint into a glass of water merely to watch the tendrils snake around before dissipating, H'ARGH--) the swirls are really well done; whether they're water or smoke they're just rrrreally... convincing? mhmhm
love the colours too eeaugh and as always, the hair~ this whole thing is pretty damn tasty I'd say.

Thank you so much my dear 
I think the dude was just the justification for painting swirly drops.
