Description
Self-medicating with art is helpful.Always wanted to draw Furrball with a Charlie Brown Xmas tree.
Was debating on when exactly to post this, but after thinking about it... it's really okay to be down during the holidays, and being sad then doesn't make one odd nor does it make it the end of the world. So, gotta represent for the blues.
Odd, i don't feel as sad now that i'm done drawing this. Oh well.
2012 is gonna be a rockin' year. and so, hang in there!

Actually, maybe Charlie's life would have been slightly less messed up with Furrball for a pet. Furrball would understand his depression...and Snoopy never will
and that made sense to me. but drawing always helps. <3

Huh! that's a nice thought... i never thought about it like that... Snoopy was definitely NO GOOD for Charlie Brown. such a condescending beagle, he was.
yay! whether i sound like a blithering lunatic or not, it's so nice to understood for a change.

Charlie Brown Xmas trees make me happy!
Teary eye Furrballs make me sad.
so as a result, my mood after finishing this was somewhere along the lines of
so neutral!
hope you had a great Xmas!

i dunno, i guess i just thought it important to depict him as he typically would be... it just doesn't seem fair that they generally show him as the 'happy tramp' whose only job is to be cute all the time and get into trouble.
of course, if he were always happy and had the perfect life, i probably wouldn't care at all about him

Aw, if he'd just been sleeping in his box next to the Charlie Brown tree that would have been sad enough, but the fact that he's actually crying is what really hammers home the fact that he's cold and lonely on Christmas, and pushes me straight over the edge...so much that I had to watch DBZ Abridged: The Best of Nappa afterward to cheer myself up again, a video that I now keep bookmarked precisely for such occasions. "I'm haunting you..."
Whatever helps with you feeling sad is alright with me though. It's indeed a lovely and touching piece of artwork Merry Christmas!

... yeah i was gonna have him just sleeping and then with one eye open and finally i was like... okay try the teared up eye this once...
LOL DBZ abridged is indeed a great pick me up. even better than Robot Chicken!
more military nonsense... why do they seek to preserve the fate of the free world while keeping families apart? old scars reopened this year despite the timezone- induced facetime sessions, it's just not the same. but all in all things were better than i had expected... and of course a Merry Christmas to you as well, Gui!

GuiMontag In reply to 8OV [2011-12-26 03:48:40 +0000 UTC]
I take it a family member in the military being away for the holiday is the reason for you being down now? I'm sorry to hear that, it's always depressing whenever loved ones are away, especially this time of year, and this pic makes a lot more sense in that context. I'm glad that you said you're not as sad now that you finished the picture though, and I both hope things get better and wish you a merry Christmas season regardless of whatever life throws at you.

she's all excited that she's going to Antarctica in January, but i'm scared to death. she shouldn't be in cold conditions, but she knows what she's doing, i guess. the worst part is, we had to deal with this growing up when dad would be deployed for 6 months-1 year at a time, so it's kinda like, 'c'mon, why're you doin' it, too?' but it's life, i know. gotta adapt and stuff, but even so...
anyways, you're awesome. and i got an interview in the morning, so i have no more time for sulking
brave face!
hmm, that's not much of a brave face, is it?

That's life for you, always looking to separate one's loved ones from yourself...is that your sister you're talking about? I wish you the best in everything turning out alright, being assigned to Antarctica sounds like both an exciting opportunity and an intimidating development simultaneously...

Once again, congrats, and hope it goes better this time! Maybe it won't be the first step in global domination, but owning a private island sounds like a pretty sweet deal...Then again, don't most villains who want to take over the world have their own island lairs? Hmm...

I've never played a MGS game either, which is probably a good thing given what I know about the series, since convoluted, mind-screw storylines never really appealed to me, ever since playing Marathon: Infinity...
