Description
Your words were the bullets, trying to take me down, make me feel smaller. But I put their power into becoming better, and bigger. You didn't mean to, but you helped make these wings.Ash is dealing with someone really negative in her life, someone who doesn't believe in her, who doesn't -want- to believe in her. Someone who actually would like to see her fail just so they could say 'told you so'
It hurts when someone like this says things to try and bring you down, but she's using the situation to be a better person. He reaction is equal and opposite, she wants to be a special effect make-up artist for film and TV, and so she channeled her energy into creating this!
Then she cuts that person out her life. Go Ash!
I'm undecided about the style of this... but wanted to try something, so I went for it! But I'm not convinced by it XD
~I have a bit of time off from conventions now, so please expect lots more art from me soon!
For now you can enjoy this as a wallpaper! Peace, Love and Positivity,
~Blue x

I love every nuance of this piece, you've captured that defiant stare and attitude of someone who's done with it! "See it doesn't phase me." I admire your craft. Your mantra is one of many, who've learnt its weight only by living it. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, this is quite a powerful message. Funny that when I first saw it, I thought it was Elsa from Frozen. You did a great job, I love the style and the coloring too.

I was drawing a spider patterned dress and at first i saw a spider inside the bullet hole. That was weird O.o
Anyway, I love how you tried a rougher style here. That's a nice change even if i'm in love with your art because of the cuteness and softness of your style

This is wonderful, it really is. I love how there's always a story behind your art, it makes it that much more special and complete.

Wonderful picture. It's certain that you learn a lot, when you have problems in life. But the other way, you live easier, when there are no problems. Anyway the girl in the picture has a big hole in her shoulder and that makes me fear for the girl. So I wish her good luck in healing and everything else.

I like this one.
This illusion of a broken body and the broken wall looking like wings fit the title.
Very good work

Immediately I saw this I knew it was made by destiny blue, because most of his artworks usually have a story of some kind
Keep it up, because I like these kind of art works

I always get a weird, twisted feeling in my gut when I see these sorts of things about this topic. I think it's beautiful art, elegantly rendered and the message equally so, but I worry about what people actually think when hear this message.
I've lost friends because they accused me of trying to bring them down. Told me I was trying to "ruin [their] dreams", often citing jealousy and then proclaiming they'd use my words to make them "stronger". All the while I stand in confusion because all I did was critique them and try to coax more professionalism from them to help. Because I wanted them to succeed.
For instance, a girl I knew wanted to be a "famous author". She was terrible (though I did not say so in so many words) so I gave her the names of texts that had helped me. I told her if she was serious about any recognition that she'd have to study grammar, story elements, that she'd have to work hard, but I and others were willing to coach or help. Because I didn't mindlessly praise her I was being petty. Essentially the same thing happened with a photographer friend (though I knew much less about that topic personally). She wanted to be seen as great without putting in the hours and anyone that didn't praise her was "bringing [her] down" or "wanted to watch [her] fail".
I guess after all of the babbling, I'm just saying I hope some people are careful about how they use this tool of turnabout. It can be empowering when someone is just being cruel, but counterproductive if someone is trying to help. It is important to know the difference.

Interesting point, thanks for your comment
It sounds like you had good intentions, but critique can be a hard thing to hear, especially if it's unsolicited.
Friends can guide you, but ultimately mistakes need to be made on your own, especially when it comes to something creative like writing of photography.
I'm sorry to hear they cut you off. They are probably not going to grow in their craft if they don't wan't to listen to critique, but remember that's their issue, not yours, and it's up to them who they choose to listen to; they might have even done you a favour by removing themselves
Personally, this piece reflects an experience of my own, and what I know a lot of other people have gone through, keeping negative characters in your life too long. When relationship turn sour, but you can't just go, but it's toxic and painful to stay, you've got the happy memory to fall back on, but the reality is falling apart. Those kind of relationships. Where you can't just let go, you have to actually push to get away.
Have you ever experienced anything like that?

If they asked for your advice and critique they cannot complain about it later when you were being honest with them. If they did not ask though and you still gave it, it may come across as you trying to bring them down.
When I look at this image I think of my dad. My whole life he has never once supported me in a single thing I do. When I try to tell him about my accomplishments and hope he'll be proud of them he simply glosses over them and tells me how I could be better, how I could make more money. I am suffering from severe depression and anxiety because of this constant rejection and lack of acceptance and real unconditional love from him. This image hits home with me because of the suffering my father has inflicted on my life, which goes a lot deeper than just criticism of my choices but stems from severe emotional abuse, verbal abuse, manipulation of my feelings and internal self-loathing he has put upon me for never feeling like I'll ever be good enough.
This message will be very different to many people. But that's how it feels for me when look at it.

You sound like me. My entire life was not normal because of my father. He verbally and emotionally abused me and now I can't keep the tears back every time I cry. He has other children, my brother and sisters, and now they are all tramatized because of him (Except one because she was only a baby when he gave up custody of her). Now that I look in the mirror, that image of the crying girl remains in the true image of me. But now, I can see that the entire time I was a warrior. Fighting to keep my sanity and mentality and you are one two. He may have made you cry and feel like your not worth it... You are worth it. Your worth it all. He may not see it, but you are.

I finally confronted my dad about all the things he's done to me in my life today. It went surprisingly well and I feel like I finally have some closure. I also had another therapy session for this right after seeing him today. I really feel at peace with myself for the first time in a long time.
I hope you will also be able to find some closure with your dad someday too and if not you at least find some real therapeutic help for it. It really helps to talk about it.
Thank you for your kind words. I know I am not alone in this. Hopefully someday we can all raise a healthier generation of humans.

Well done on confronting your Dad, it's a really tough thing to do, I'm glad it went well and you now have some closure
Remember to try and not blame yourself for his mistakes, it's not your fault.
It's great that you're taking positive steps, and talking openly with a good therapist
~I wish you all the best!

Thanks DestinyBlue. I feel very free from my depressing emotions and anxiety for the first time in my life. It's really amazing. My therapist couldn't believe how quick I was to take that step too and it was a lot less scary than I thought it'd be.
I've always loved your artwork and it's shown me many times over that I am not alone in this. I'll still live with anxiety and I don't doubt I will have bouts of depression in the future at some points when life gets rough, we all do, but these feelings can be temporary and it really can get better.

I was in therapy from him and it went surprisingly well. I think the next time I see him, I'll confront him about everything. He broke me completely and I'm trying to still bring back the pieces. For now I'm BrOKen.
Your so welcome and I hope the healing continues!
