Description
"I'm not afraid to take a standEverybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now~"
EMINEM - "Not Afraid"
This is clearly vent art, even though the story of this character is a lot different from mine. This character has been through a lot of violence, just like me, but for other reasons, and worse. Once this guy turned out to be gay, his life turned into a hell. He used to be into a group of guys who were THE POPULAIR GUYS, if you know what I mean. So of course, when he turned out to be different, he was kicked out. Not just that, he was nearly killed if not his best friend saved his life. As for me, well, I won't rant about it. Let's just say I've been bullied my entire life and violence has been part of my life. But I'm not afraid, not anymore.

This piece would be perfect for a new project we are developing -- an online gallery for artists who have been bullied or who explore the theme of bullying in their work. It's called the You Will Rise Project. Check it out here: [link] and let us know if you would be willing to share this piece on the site. Read the "Submit Your Work" section of the site for details. Thanks!

I don't think this cartoony style is ugly ): In fact, I love the symbolism of the characters without faces - it makes them practically nobodies who are all the same, popular people, while Floris is being kicked out because he's an individual - WITH a face.
Overall, it's a simple, but beautiful piece.

:C BUT IT'S NOT. Although if you're not satisfied with it, you can always tweak a few things about it in your future works. It's always good to have a simpler backup style if you're not feeling good enough to draw in your usual style.
WHOOPS DERP sorry I woke up just a while ago :I I mix up characters a lot, especially yours haha im dumb
But yes, definitely give him some individuality! Maybe a different hair style? Hair usually makes a difference when making characters.
No problem <3

Gotta agree on that. I am having some kind of art block right now so a simpler style will do for the next few days. I guess.
It's ok. I know my characters are confusing. But that's also because most of the time I draw random people and no actual characters. Well, I never used to but lately I do. And yes, I already have a hairstyle for him in mind. It still looks a little like this, but it will give him some individuality. <33 /starts on it noa
