Description
...why do I love you?this is the most you're going to get out of me.
if you pass this off as just some "oh, i'veneverhadaboyfriendboohoo" angst...... screw you.
edit: since people still don't seem to get it. THIS IS NOT BOYFRIEND ANGST. just said that. oh geezus. there are a lot of other people you can love besides the opposite sex. Valentine's Day is about love in general, not just your "Boy". this is more about loving someone deeply - ANYONE - and being torn between your hatred for the hurt they've caused you, and the hatred you have for yourself.

Oh jeez, that's beautiful. It's so sad but so provoking... The emotions in this picture stand out a lot more vividly than some of your others, probably because of the detail with his eyes... It's so pretty, and so sad. <3 *hugs*

This has more depth then any mere aprentice artist may even attempt to achieve... My greatest admiration for you right now. I am new to DA, but you and Melissa are some of the best. Your coloring awe's me to silence...and this? This is superb. I need to e-mail you about a comish. X3;;;; Anyways. Excellent. And you are absolutely right, Valentines day is about who you love in general, this made me think of my friends... one's wife just past away, and the day after, another friend...his father had a heart attack and rammed into a Semi truck...this describes so much remorse, but at the same time has a feel... Sorry if I'm going beyond comprehension in my rambling. You are an inspiration to a fellow highschool student. Congrats on being accepted! I'm still waiting for NC to accept me ;D Blessed be poppet!
xoxo's
Jes

You always hit such an awesome balance between horror and beauty. (Silence is a perfect example of that!) I've long been indifferent towards Valentine's Day (which may or may not be due to my also not having a boyfriend and just not "getting it"), but I am more then a little irritated by it's trivialization of emotions and its this-is-what-love-looks-like-and-this-is -how-you-celebrate-it commercials. I guess that's life, though. I'll just continue to celebrate my own, silent little holidays.
I love the way you do dripping blood .

Love being linked to extreme hatred. Don't buy it. Never will. Too cynical. What I see here is someone who wants to be loved, but never has been because she/he has been keeping everyone outside, firmly shut off from him/her. Tough place to be in. Been there myself. Which is why I know "love" is usually never involved, just the need to be loved.
But that's just me. I can't even begin to try to understand what you're going through, or have been through. As the Sandman tells us: "Now and forver, your pain is your own."
For what it's worth, though, this is quite powerful in its simple colours and lines. Great use of space, and in creating that slightly menacing, curvy S shape. This is Vampiress, right?

The situation is more that I love people and they move on. and I still love them, but I also kind of hate them because they left me... and I hate myself because I didn't do anything about it. missed a lot of opportunities just because I was too afraid. there are also people I've loved and still love who have caused me immense pain.
This is Silence... not sure where you're getting Vampiress from.

I'm sorry if I came across as if I didn't care about your feelings. Tend to run my mouth, don'I...? But I really do worry... and I tend to get tougher when I need to get softer.
It's Silence? Oh, jeepers, when did I start thinking it's Vampiress who has the razor wire 'round her ears? Oh jeez. Ok. Where's a shovel? Should bury myself now.

Love and Hate.
They go hand in hand, for they are the extremes of emotion. A very true statement within this picture.

Amazing work! Simple yet oddly beautiful...and so much emotion.
Boyfriends just complicate things...I've never had one, personally...but I have listened to my friends whine after a breakup or argument. We're young...aren't there other things to worry about?

tigrin In reply to Andali [2005-02-15 04:25:22 +0000 UTC]
Thanks.
This picture is not at all related to the fact that I've never had a boyfriend, as I've mentioned. Whether boyfriends are worth it or not.... I don't know, and I don't think that question can ever be answered until I experience it myself.
Valentine's Day is about loving people in general, and there are a lot of people I've loved and lost. it tends to be a mixture of my love for them, and my hatred both for their abandoning me, and my inability to hold onto them.

You're welcome...
Yes, I know...that was something I've just been needing to say...it may have been a bit out of place here...sorry, if it was. I guess my outlook on this might not be right, considering I too have never experienced it...maybe it is worth it...
You're right...it is about loving people in general. And you've put the concept of loving and losing perfectly...I couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

Ok everyone, sing along, emphasis on the k's! I love that song. I remember an old teacher saying something along the lines of "The ones we remiss we most wanna kiss." I wouldn't go so far as to say we'd like to kiss those particular people, but they probably stay with us the longest, seeing as to how human memory tends to bind most to negative experiences.
I really do love this this piece. There is so much depth and emotion within it, even though it is mostly a bust. I love how you've managed to convey so much emotion, even without the actually eyes of the creature present. The lack of colors certainly adds to the feeling. This most definitely deserves a favorite.

SixArmedWerewolf [2005-02-15 02:45:20 +0000 UTC]
VERY artfully done! It's fantastically drawn with a humungous sense of emotion to be felt in the portrayal of the cat. Little touches like the barbed wire, the bleeding heart, and the empty eyesockets add so much to the effect. The cat's head looks like a skull, but at the same time looks full and living. Very cool!

CheshireKat [2005-02-15 02:41:18 +0000 UTC]
aw, but it's GOOD angst! i reeeeally like this, the cat looks kind of sad and angry at the same time.
the lack of eyes and the hunched over-ness add to the over all ashamed/sad quality of the picture.
i like it lots
plus, the blood actualy looks like real blood (which i have trouble doing)
