Description Okay... this was drawn in that sorta... 'angsty' week... *figures, eh?* I was in the mood to draw some art for my 'Bullseye's Story' fic ([link] ) , so I drew my hyena character 'Candy' (who's introuduced, in it). Yup, she's pregnant here.... lemme guess... an explaination is order, right? Right.

Anyways... see... Candy here, is 17 (yup, young huh?), and she meets Bullseye (my warthog dude, who has just turned 15 at the time). And yeah... they hit it off.... and.. well... y'know. "Wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am!" *is shot for the snewd expression* As can be seen, is about to happen, here: [link]

And so yeah... Bullseye leaves that night (they agreed to leave it at that), unaware of what he's done... Not long after, Candy is horrified to find out, that she's pregnant (yup, Bullseye knocked her up -_-;; *shakes head*) She doesn't want to tell him (nor does she know where he is, for that matter!), becuz she knows he doesn't want/like kids (she finds this out, thru a conversation they had that one night), and plus, she doesn't want to trap him or 'steal his youth' or whatnot. Despite this situation, she still does _care_ about him. *shrugs* And so... that means she has to have the baby herself (since she's refused to have an abortion). And throughout the whole pregnancy, she's debating on whether to keep her child or give it up (adoption). A really heart wrenching decision, no doubt...

I guess the scene here is, one of those sleepless nights, where's she lying awake, unable to sleep, and dozens of worries and unanswered questions tormenting her brain... Awww... poor thing. She needs a hug *hugs her*

I remember what my mom said, when I showed her this pic, and explained the story. She was like "That kind of thing happens all the time." And it's true. This emotionally kick in the gut situation, happens in RL. Horrible, isn't it? Really sad.

Anyways.... I'll stop ranting on now O_o;; *scurries off*

that's always a hard thing. but it always frustrates me when women refuse an abortion. something that can save their lives. the part they'll be missing on nights like the one you illustrated. there's the money aspect, but when you compare it to the mass amounts it will cost for prenatal care and child care and clothes and supplies and diapers, it hardly compares. anyway, i'll stop. great picture, i'll keep struttin' through your gallery now..

That happened to me... it works out ok in the end.. its one hell of a battle though. Teaches you who you are and what you're capable of. thank you for making soemthings o meaningful. it's a nice change from the "for the hell" of it kicking around.

OK, after the explanation, I'm wondering about a long Bullseye scolding for this one...

It's not the picture that hits as hard as the true to life story behind it. Your mom was right, as I've read about. This DOES happen often in the world, which is what makes the picture generally sad in theme...

I would say it's an impressive picture dipliciting a sad truth to date. As many new mothers would have that same look on Candy's face after something like that. I can honestly say good job on this emotional piece.

Why has no one commented on this yet? Good Goddess, I had tears in my eyes by the time I was finished reading it. Very bold of you to take an all-too-often true to life situation and illustrate it. Even as I sit here and type out this measly comment, I start to wonder myself what that experience would be like.

Either way, very expressive art. I like it.
