I really like the different perspective here! Beautiful yes, but I don't find it sad at all.. this is just how life goes.

Thank you so much!
The picture itself may not be sad, but the meaning behind it is. I drew this while lost in depression and felt like dieing. Deer and sparrow are my totem animals.

Oh, so sad and beautiful at the same time It gives food for thought
I let my imagination wander a bit: that doe and that little sparrow were childhood friends and then gradually came to love each other but could never be together..
Enentually their love turned into a torture for them and being unable to bear with it any longer they preferred death - it freed their souls and brought them happiness in the afterlife.

Avalensch In reply to IckyDog [2011-11-18 00:36:41 +0000 UTC]

I totally understand.
I love deer as well, but they always seem to represent anything but the animal in my artwork... I really enjoy all your variations! They're very unique.

This is beautiful. Just beautiful.
I really like the pose and the blood and style. It really looks like you found somewhere a dead deer with some birds around and THEN drew it. (did you? XD)
It's great. Ugh, I wish I would speak English so I could leave a better comment.
I just can't get my eyes of this.
This piece of ART is full of emotions, sad emotions.
Awesome. Great work.

Thank you SO much for that comment! Seriously - that just made my day. It IS a sad piece, but was very therapeutic to draw and I'm always happy when my art speaks to people. And lol, no, I didn't find a dead deer! (though if I did I would photograph and sketch it!).
Again, thank you sooooo much!

Thank you sooooo much for that comment! Seriously. I'm very happy when my art touches someone. "Lost" certainly was an emotional piece to create, and vent art is always therapeutic.
