Description

Have had a lot coming at me in my personal life. Since Thanksgiving, it has been a bit of a ride through hell and back. But through my mistakes and knowing I was in the wrong when it came to pushing on someone I cared about's boundaries... I have not lost sight of who I am, what I believe in, or what I want to do. Now is the best time for me to hate myself and pull myself down, because I have so much evidence for how badly I messed up, embarrassed myself, and was plain annoying. But I won't let that darkness swallow me. I am learning, growing, figuring out, and I can move on and become a better person. Even if no one else can forgive me, I can forgive myself and move on. That at least, I can do right.


Still, going through all of this has also lifted a weight off my chest that has been there for years. I'm consciously trying to change my mindset, as I must at this point, and creativity has been a healthy outlet/escape from what's been going on around me, as it has always done for me~ Very grateful to have a whole visual spectrum to express myself through, the self-actualizing part of creating art is really, really giving me a brand new slate and feeling of self-love. Definitely not going to let my personal thing be an excuse to not meet my art goals for this year!

We all make dumb mistakes sometimes. It's really easy to act on your own emotions and forget about everyone else's. The important thing is that you recognize you made a mistake, because a lot of people are too self-centered to do so. Just learn from it and use it to grow <3Β 

I love how unkept this guy's tail and mane are. The fur is textured really nicely and I really wanna run my fingers through it lol. The color scheme on this piece is super cool, I especially love the way you incorporated the green into his eyes.Β

Thanks Shiv I pushed my feelings on a guy and was way too needy but I cut off contact ASAP when I finally got the hint he was telling me & I am trying so hard to not repeat the mistake. Definitely implemented already a lot of changes in my lifestyle & mindset to help both me and him. Such a loss for me that I did not see how to treat him as a friend properly when the chance was mine, and want to reconnect more than anything but I definitely don't deserve someone as kind and good as him. Starting as soon as this happened I am doing all I can to be a confident, happy person like he'd want me to be going forward.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun working on this piece. Felt my old style working back into the mix with this one. Going to be making art a priority because I am really grateful for the community and want to see what I could create if I live up to my potential.

I really appreciate your comment, thank you for sharing it with me

I love the warm to cool gradient going across vertically, and ya nailed those tricky angles on the front paws. And keep on with that growth, black holes are no fun <3
