Description What Hurts the Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Based off an rp situation that hasn't quite happened yet, but it's coming soon. Sky and Cymbal are going to wind up separated by a distance neither can overcome. Sky promised Cymbal that he'd keep moving forward... but it's a tough thing to do without the demon forcibly shoving him to do it. But he keeps going.

When I realized this was where events were leading to, I was instantly reminded of "What Hurts the Most"- the Rascal Flatts version though. Cascada's version if far too upbeat for the situation. And then this image of Sky came to mind. So I tortured myself for the past two days working on this. It felt a little emo starting out- but I've come to the conclusion that I don't care because I'm really proud of how this turned out.

The red moon is intentional- and the red light was a bitch to get right. From start to finish it's one hundred percent digitally rendered- with a mouse. Can I say again how happy and proud of this piece I am?

Sky only sticks it out with me because I keep bribing him with pictures of Cymbal and their kids.

I really like this piece, the emotion you have managed to capture is amazing. Without even reading your little piece about the rp, you can feel the pain that Sky is going through just with the pose and his facial expression. I have to agree with Ash, this is one of my favourite pieces that you have posted, utterly stunning!

This is probably my favorite piece that you've ever done. It's beautiful, and it conveys emotion so well.

Sky's posture here is first thing to be commended; he doesn't look like he's posing. He looks like he's been caught mid-motion, the position is nice and fluid. His hands are great, and I can clearly see where his weight is resting.

The next thing I love is the texture you chose to use on Sky and the wall. It's all mottled like moonlight through clouds, while still being soft and deep-textured. I feel like I could reach in and touch him.

This really is an amazing piece. Thanks for posting ^^
