Description A more personal piece that I've been working on for the past few weeks.
I won't get into detail and become a burden, but know that I will be okay. I'd love to hear what this
painting makes you guys feel, or the meaning you think is behind it. So drop a comment and let me know!
This was done entirely on one layer (not including the BG) and I'm very proud of myself for lessening my
use of layers. I think it really adds character to a piece when colours melt together and there are messy
areas. 

On another note, I've finally gotten into more consistent painting, and hopefully I will drop linework
altogether once I am more comfortable. I've been busy, but a good busy - and my commission waiting list
is officially open!

My first impression was kinda nice and comfortable since I really like being outside at night having all the stars above me. The drawing has quite a calm vibe but it seems to me that the character in the drawing is somehow trapped. She seems helpless and caged in this dark night, turning something calm into something stressful and sad. It could be that she is hiding herself or her feelings, leaving them in the dark so no one can notice the real her. Also the fact that her tears look like the stars seem to me like she hides her sadness behind a pretty looking surface. And btw thats just a stunning drawing, i just love this artstyle!

This painting brings up the want to talk but not being able to. Like a fear? Often times there's thing I personally want to say but I can't in fear someone will backlash at me or get the wrong idea. Sometimes the need feels suffocating, and in the end I shouldn't really matter. If people are going to be pricks there's no need to worry about them-- But drama sucks. So it's like a "best to hold your breath" type of thing.

You're welcome. + ^+ ... 
Not being able to talk to people properly has been an issue of mine for a long time. I think I've developed a personality disorder. Aka, not being able to make meaningful relations with people. often times I feel like they're annoyed of me/why bother/ect. Know what I mean? 
I'm sure as a popular artist you may feel used sometimes. Idk ; x;

I absolutely know your feel! I've suffered from social anxiety for years, and many time's I've wanted to speak in any given situation and I just can't.
It's caused me to become a vulnerable person, especially to malicious people. Although through art I've found happy places hehe (//w//) 
Occasionally I do but most of the time I don't really let myself get into the situation of being used!

Ye. ; v; Mine only just recently got really bad. Well kind of--- the past 1-2 months it's been getting better. Still a bit of an issue. I burnt a lot of bridges because people made me so anxious and stressed I unadded/blocked. Some I don't care to fix tbh, but some I feel kind of bad and now contact has been lost and it's all "RIP" status. > < 
And ye! Art's helped me out a lot too---  Actually developing a semi-maintainable style that I'm happy with > < 
You art's come a long way btw, I found you while you were still doing league work~ It'd be pretty neat to see the old stuff draw in the new style sometime. Especially the Lulu picture. <3 

I'm dumb and I still do from time to time. > < Try to be super nice to people but then end up getting stabbed in the back or ignored, heh. It's okay tho, been finding a save haven in DA.
