Description
I have to give a nod to *abyss-dog 's art as part of what inspired this, but that doesn't make it any less personal.I have a bad habit of letting little things get under my skin and niggle me until I lose sight of all else and feel like I have to go after them and chase them down and resolve them - and often being incensed does tend to cloud your self-restraint.
Basically, I don't like it when I'm a jackass to people.
I'd like to ask for people to just look at the art and not give me sympathy comments, because I'm not fishing for them. This is something I just have to suck up and deal with on my own, is all
On a happier note, my exams are over, so I hope to be getting more active again :3

Ahhh, that is sort of the opposite of me ^-^' I have a very very proud pride and once I've done the nasty to someone I'm more the person who will sit back and do the waiting for them. It's a bad trait I know, but I thourally dislike being the one who tries to suck up to the other person or try explain my 'feelings' *Shudder* It's probably a good thing you are like that. *Smacks Pride* I must tame my pride some day.

'Like what'? I hate being in the wrong too. but this picture just says that I often get more upset and het up than I should over little insignificant things. nothing to do with my pride.

I love how the drool is dripping downwards, it completes the effect that the whippet is on top

You should set the shadow thing on "omg can you draw (insert breed)" people.

Ah, your lines are so eloquent in this drawing. Swift's expression and thin clear lines, the extremities of white and black, and that barren background naturally speak the emotion you're feeling for you. For a sketch, this has excellent composition, and, honestly, a strong and compelling edge. We all have our demons we have to suck up and deal with; I hope your situation resolves soon.

The emotion is mint. The symbolism on what you actually feel (the snarly-shadow-drooling-hound<3) and what you feel outwardly (not wanting to hurt people in the fury..

Love the hunter whippet. Its a little known fact about whippets...they look so shy and gentle......til a rabbit jumps by!

Yeah, tell me about it. I've started calling said 'little things that get under my skin' bunnies.

Hm, I quite like this. It's obviously rather different then your usual works and a bit of change is always interesting.

I like it. Its like the two sides of a coin. Its a clever thing.
I can be like that, holding onto things rather than sorting them, then and there. It's a bitch but hey its part of my character. We are who we are and its something inside us that spawns great images such as this, so I am thankful for faults as well as shining qualities, variety is the spice of life and you cant be an angel if there are no devils to make the distinction.

In a sense, I don't hold onto things, I sort them then and there. I'm not sure what sense you mean but it's always the little things that get to me. I can handle big problems surprisingly calmly, but mini-crises, tiny inaccuracies, offhand, not-meant-to-be-offensive remarks.. those can really, really incense me for some reason and I often end up doing and saying things that I guilttrip myself over later on. Things like that - I can't just let them fly by, I guess. (I've started calling them 'bunnies' in my head. this whole deal is a bitch indeed but it's cool in that it's another aspect of my sighthoundness - my prey drive. 
We're all angel and devil both, really. it just depends on which is let in the driver's seat.

Thats what I meant hun, the little things dont get sorted then and there because they are small and by dealing with them then and there, you seem to others to be overly-dramatic. Not you in particular of course. You to me are uber mellow but stand up for yourself and your friends which is a decent human thing to do.

Yay for no more exams! I think I have mine comming, I can't even remember. xD; Eek.
I must say that I am loving the tuck-up. (I think that's the right word, or maybe it's just stomach.) I must sound funny, but the stomach area is my favorite part, and the facial expression.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, tuck-up is the right word, no worries about that

This is awesome! I love the concept of two halves.(if that's what your going for) I've always wanted to do one of these...maybe I should get started.
Great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I wasn't really going for two halves as such but I guess you could look at it like that. it's more like a Jekyll-and-Hyde sort of thing, if you will. I'm glad that you like it, either way ^^ thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, Jekyll and Hyde...me likes. ^^ And your welcome.
