Description Well, I originally wanted this to be like, super detailed, and cool. But after like 5 minutes, I just wanted it done. So yes, it's very sloppy. One day I'll probably redo it completely, but this is kinda how I feel right now.

So that's why I wanted it out so fast..

I'm sure we can all relate to this suffocating feeling once in a while.

Hope you like it.

Damask BG was originally B+W, I got it off google. There's millions of them.

Makes me shudder.
Drowning, of all the horrible ways there are to go, is the scariest to me.

Great piece! c:

WhitneyCook In reply to Sabtastic [2010-01-06 01:20:57 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thank you!

And I agree! Not only have I felt the mental sensation of drowning, but I've also physically drowned. The most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me. I think.

But thank you!

You would have to know what I've been going through the last several years to realize the profound effect this painting has on me... It's Not A Lie. The shortest way I can explain is my brain thinks I have a tumor, (I don't) it's just too much Cerebro Spinal Fluid. CSF is the stuff that cushions your brain and spine, and most people have normal CSF pressures of 80-200. When I had my first spinal tap the pressure read at 460.

So yeah, I feel like I'm trapped in my own body on some days. But chatting with friends on DeviantArt helps!

Didn't mean to get mushy and whiney... keep up the beautiful work!

WhitneyCook In reply to Hopeofmysoul [2009-11-13 17:14:18 +0000 UTC]

Oh no! Not at all!
I'm really glad that this effected you.


I've got 2 goals in my art:
1. To release pent up stress/emotion
2. To touch lives of the people who relate with me, THROUGH my art.

I didn't think it was working.
But I might've done a little bit of both here. (I think)

Though I am sorry to hear of your situation, I also think it's things like that, that can be an eye opener. I generally believe that people with physical/mental obstacles can really see the beauty in art, and in life in general, due to knowing the tragedies that often struck their lives. While ignorance is bliss, it's still ignorance, right? Lol.

I was briefly aware of what it was, but now I'm briefly educated on the matter. So thanks.

And if you ever need anyone to talk to about it, or just wanna chat someone's ear off!, I'm the person you're looking for!
I welcome you to any of my instant messengers/emails!

What's been going on lately?
It's gonna be cool soon! No more sweltering heat!

Standard-Fiend In reply to WhitneyCook [2009-10-15 14:56:48 +0000 UTC]

I like the swealtering heat.

But anyway, I've been baby sitting constantly. Every single night. THey told me they'd talk to their supervisors about their schedules, and for two weeks it stopped but now I'm constnatly watching these brats. And the sweet one is teething and turning into his demonic older brother so that's double the stress. I'm having constnat stomach aches from the stress and I'm surprised my hair isn't falling out. Argh. Then I find out that Mom has been talking to Nikki about me watching just Logan during the day, which is something I did say that I would do... MONTHES ago... in the summer.... when I wasn't tryig nto get into college or was looking for a JOB. And I only found out last night when I was talking to Mom about not being able to keep this constant baby sitting gig up. And she started taking THEIR side and trying to guilt me with, "Well, I just don't want Logan in Day Care. He's too young to tell us what, if anything, happens."

Tough biscuits. LOTS of families have to send their kids to day care like that. That's what they get for not having a good paying career when they decide to start having unprotected sex. I feel bad for thinking this way now, but I'm done. I can't take it anymore and I'm tired with screaming EVERY SINGLE NIGHT because children won't listen to me.

WhitneyCook In reply to Standard-Fiend [2009-10-15 15:43:27 +0000 UTC]

Good grief.
That's ridiculous.

I had to go to daycare for 6 years. You're not a babysitting service.
Your mom needs to get over the fact that she's not their guardian, and even though she's looking out for the best, it's YOU who is dealing with the consequences of everyone's actions.

Like with Amber and William. You were raising those kids when you yourself should've been spending more time with your friends(ME!). They made you grow up too fast.
And eventually you're going to be so tired of raising someone's kids, that you're not going to want any of your own.

But yeah, that's so dumb. BJ and Nikki need to get a better sense of responsibility. The reason they're slacking is because they both know they can fall back on you. I'd say they're falling back on you AND your parents, but it's obvious that you're pulling all the weight.

Eventually, when I am able to transport myself around, I'll help you out. You KNOW I can put the little brats in their place.

Yeah. As much as I'm going to be sad that you'll be so far from me, I want everything to work, because I know you really need to do this. And I'm a phone call, or an IM away.
