Thank you so much! I hadn't gotten the reaction to this one that I'd hoped, glad to see it affected at least a few people.

Ohh...rarely ever do we really get the effect we hoped for, no? Most of the things you want people to see with art as deep as this piece is overlooked for "OMG THATS SO PRETTY!!!" not that that is bad. If i was in any way able to make you feel more appreciated, that makes me feel reaaaaally good ^___^ *dances* and the power of this piece....i think is that it applies to ALL of us. We all feel a bit lonely sometimes...its in our nature. Especially at this time and age for me. And this gives me a little...reassurance, corny as it sounds.....
.... 'sorry for the ramble

Definitely not a ramble. I really appreciate your deep and insightful comments, truly I do. And yep, I agree that we all feel this way at one point or another. There's so much teenage angst out there in poetry and whatnot, I thought I'd do something that was a bit more uplifting and reassuring

thanks for looking out for us angsty, over-depressed teens!!
Yeah...i think its that...we dont know the value of our own lives. NO ONE really wants to die...we just feel we do...because we dont know what a gift life is yet
But if your pic lifts ppl like it lifted me...i'm sure you'll help a few teens get OUT of this crappy stage and appreciate life

Late again... but I'm glad I saw this pic Her left foot is a little odd, but the rest is great. I love the detail on the wings and their clothes, especially his jeans and the way the girder seems to become part of her dress. The overall picture is so beautiful... this pic actually cheered me up a little. Definite fav

Oh yay, it cheered somebody up a bit! That's awesome! Yeah, the angel overall just didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, and I think her face looks a bit odd after the transparency, too, but ah well. Thanks so much

Though I did say "No Fonzie! Don't jump!" when I first saw it I'm evil like that.

slshimerdla In reply to Rushy [2004-08-10 00:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Haha, he does have a bit of a Fonzie look to him, eh? I was going to give him some of those baggy jeans on some of the youth of today, but I'm gonna have to practice with baggy clothes more first, methinks. That would've made him less Fonzie-ish.

Thanks!

Thanks! I love how the atmosphere turned out, too. I added the rain as an afterthought, which perhaps explains why his hair isn't plastered down by it (but then, maybe it just started raining! ), but I still really like how it turned out. Thanks, hon.
