Description
Thats what it feels like on some days.I don't do this often, thankful enough. But when I decide to get down and heavy with everything going on around me at once... Thank god for creative outlet.
Times have been tough, and its caught up with me hard lately. I'm passing through it, but damn.
Enough of that.
Got to break out the Wacom for this one. I dont' use it often, but it does quite a nice job when I need different pressure settings, specifically when any shading is to be done. Dodging and Burning especially.
Always remember, no matter how bad things get, no matter how beaten and battered you may become, no matter how terrible you perceive things to be, it always passes. The best thing to do is stay on your feet and be there, ready to keep walking when you're finally out of it.
There's no sense in stopping, it solves nothing, it does no good.
Soldier on.

Its true. I try to start out everyone I meet on a blank page. I try to let their actions decide if they are a good or bad person or if I trust or do not trust them. Keeps me out of trouble that way! XD

Yeah, some people stop trusting anyone anymore, but that makes you loose the chances of met so many nice people. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with you talking to me, I hope we become virtual friends or something like that, I really like you ^^

I like making new friends! I like you too, I like talking with you. You have so much to say! A lot like me, lol!
My friends tell me that I'm the kinf of person who has never met a stranger. I guess that means that no matter who it is, even if I don't know them, I can just start talking with them and have a conversation! Its a good trait, I suppose. It lets me meet all sorts of new people! Like you!

I like it too! Awwwwwwwwwwww dear... is so funny, when I feel confidence with someone, I can't stop talking, like this, or at my home... but in places like my work or when I was student, I was actually famous for being pretty serious and quiet.
I'm shy 'cause a part of me still has low self-confidence. When I was a little child, I use to think I was the ugliest person ever. So I still feel a little like that and when I met someone new, I'm to worry about don't be bored, so I can be very quiet, just to not make people feel akward with me...

Low self confidence can be a tough thing to deal with for sure. I used to have that too, but since I got a little older, I joke and laugh and stuff and it makes dealing with people a lot easier. Though I dont' always joke around, its still good to. But confidence is something that comes with time I think. Now I may have too much confidence! XD Because I'm AWESOME. Haha!
Well, I'm MOSTLY loud and funny and crazy. Mostly. There are times where I can just as easily sit and listen or just sit and be quiet for the sake of being quiet. Its rare, but those moments are nice too, even when there are other people sitting with me. Sometimes, nothing needs to be said.

I guess I like the serious image in places where I think you must be serious, like work and school... but when I'm with my group of anime or at cons, I'm so loud and crazy XD. I love tho hunt cosplayer and believe, the way I stalk you is nothing compare to the way I stalk cosplayers I love XD.
Yeah, I feel that about the silence too, but when there's someone else with me and we're silence, I feel the other person is getting bored and that just scares me. I guess I still care too much about what people think about me...

Well, there's that old saying "There's a time and place for everything." Its good to be able to have a great time and cut up and still reserve yourself when the times cal for it. Thats the way it should be.
One good thing about me, is that you never have to wonder what I'm thinking. I'm pretty vocal, and I'm honest to a fault. Sometimes too honest, lol.
Point is, if I'm ever getting bored, I'll certainly tell you, heheh. But I don't think that is likely to happen!

Indeed my dear, every person most know when and where can be like this or like that.
Ohe dear, so when you tell me you're getting bored with me, I'll try to make you laugh, even if I have to make you tickles XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oohhhh, no no no no, no tickling! I am EXTREMELY ticklish! its so easy, I'm ticklish the most in my ribs. My friend, Tenshi will walk by me while I'm busy and not paying attention and she will poke me in the ribs just once, it gives me fits! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my, you shouldn't told me that XD. I love ticklish people, I'm just like Tenshi XD...
I don't have tickles. When I was young, man around me use tickles to touch me, that was kinda sexual harassment... so I teach my body to eliminate tickles. And now, I'm like this, with no tickles at all...

If I concentrate hard enough, I can't be tickled at all, but it takes a lot of effort and a lot of concentration. its almost just as good of an idea just to scream and run away quickly.

My bro and mah mate are like you. So imagine how much I make them suffer XD

Oohhh, I can totally imagine that! XD Being ornery is a wonderful trait most of the time! Haha!

They go away and come back, but everytime they're back, you just have to remember they'll go away again.
I'm happy you choose drawing for dealing with bad times. A few years ago, I did take pills and alcohol. Not my brigthess moment -_-

I have to say you should make a comic out of this...just saying
but either way i love this, i feel a connection.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, as it stants, it is its own, self-contained little party. I felt that everything that needs to be said to get my point across, was said.
Having said that, I totally agree that I should make more comic of some description. XD

...Wow.

Heh, thanks!
Some days it can be like that for anyone. I suppose the question you have to keep asking yourself is, 'what else am I going to do?'.
I'm glad you like the piece, and thanks again!

wow this is awsome 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
I totally understand that, sometimes, you just have to. In my case, its usually a simple reminder of what I already know.

Niiiiice! xD love the blood splats or something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I figured those needed to be in there. Even more so after I accidentally pasted one on a main working layer and didn't realize it til it was too late. I was like... "Well, I guess more blood splats are going in!"

Thanks. Not one of my proudest moments, needing to vent through art instead of suck it up and move forward with life - but it made for a damn fine piece of work, eh?
Thanks again!

really awsome! you can almost feel the pain.......OUCH! nah kidding but hope ya feel better though! I went through hard times once but somehow always had a smile slapped on to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, typically I don't really let it get to me, try to let whatever happens happen and be done with it. Its a good philosophy on life, and an excellent tactic to boot. Sometimes it just builds though so... this happens.
Its all good, Happy go Lucky is kind of my thing so. yuppers.
This picture started out as just drawing to get it out of the ol' system, but now that I've had time to sit and check it out after I've colored it, it turned out well I think. really conveyed the point, the whole idea of, "No matter what happens, you're going to still be here. May as well be moving forward on your own."
Thanks a ton for the kind words! And always keep a smile slapped on.

It's good in my opinion to try and be outgoing yet seriouse when life needs it. I hate it when I don't have time to sit and chillax and paint. Plus no prob, anytime you need cheer'n up just talk to people. I'll try to keep slapp'n it on

Wow! I love the colors and detail in this! Nicely done!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks much! To be truthful, I put this one out pretty quickly while I was still in a shitty mood so, there are inconsistencies. But they layering totally makes up for it. XD
Thanks again. And remember boys and girlses, Stay tuned for more concentrated awesome!
