Description
I wish I'd just stood and let the sun creep through me.Instead of my attempts to build slingshots, spools and sinkers to bring in the sky.
Inventions out of sticks and stones, a crown dusted off from beneath the bones.
A white liar, protector of our hearts and homes.
Stay, don't go,
I'll eat you up, I love you so.
I want you to follow and find me,
Howl like its us and no-one else,
We could keep out the sadness and stand so tall,
We could run like wild things, and lie right where we fall.

Edit: hey, I know it's v simple and just a sketch but. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it? Just a couple comments would be really nice. Please? Sorry

wheezes im really fuckin' late to the party by like 7 months but i hope you can value some of what i have to say!!
i took 2 art classes in college, and tbh even though this is just a sketch it's 10x better than some of the art i saw from my peers. the use of greyscale and the only saturated color being red makes it so stunning, it really draws your attention to the red and it makes it extremely effective. the anatomy and concept behind this is great (i love this song by the by, hands like houses is one of my all time favorite bands) and honestly i think if you were to add color it would loose its overal meaning! i think this version is quite beautiful, sometimes as artists we think we need to always make everything a final product (trust me, i struggle plenty), but at times it's sometimes better to leave things as sketches or unfinished. they sometimes are more powerful in that way then if we do complete them.

Wow, this looks incredible! How can such a simple sketch look so fantastic? I love this, especially how you did everything so sketchy and in black and white save for the blood. I like how it stands out against the rest of the picture.
I also love the background. I really do! Those mountains in the far distance look beautiful, despite being so simple. Or maybe because they are pretty simple. I dunno, but either way, it looks great.
I also love how almost all of your pictures seem to be so full of meaning, even poetic in some way. That's something only a handful of artists manage to do, and you are one of them.

idk how to comment on this, looks like a vent, but it's pretty! The background, however lazy/calm/simple it might be, it is really nice, with the only "bright" colour being the blood.
looks really nice <3

I love everything about this!!!
I love how the ground, and mostly everything else around the feline, is shaded! Gives off a sort of eerie look to it!
Also, the blood *hearts, hearts everywhere* I love the look so much!! It's very dark and it looks like a dark emotion leaked out of the head of a fawn. ;w; Sorry if that's not what it is, but my mind just flowed like that. Hahaha.
Of course, as usual, the lyrics are beautiful and goes with the drawing!
Lastly, the cougar...the expression!!! So fierce and dangerous looking! I love it!
The sketchy look to it also gives off an eerie look to it.
Gahh, long comment. Sorry for such a long comment.

The shading is very cool, i really like how the red fades closer to black. The white next to that adds contrast and brings out the red even more. The background is simple, which leaves some to the viewer's imagination, and that's really cool to see. Honestly the visual simplicity is what makes it so cool. While it looks simple, there's meaning and poetic feeling behind it, and people can see that through the image. The angles and anatomy match perfectly.
The concept fits well with the words. Love is such a consuming feeling, the hunger, and the sickness of it all is really portrayed in this.

This, accompanied by the text, (is that a song or poem) is the definition of dysfunction in all its imperfect beauty. We can love someone so much that the thought of them leaving could literally drive us crazy... A lot of people draw things about accepting loss and grieving those we let go...but you show the uglier side the side that lives in everyone, whether they embrace its darkness or not. This is why I love your art and why I follow you..

The background is my favorite thing about this!! You can literally see the simple sketchiness of it but you make it look so amazing, I'm being serious when I say I couldnt do that! Excellent job!! <3

Wow, this is just incredible. <3 I love the sketchiness of it. I love how it's all monochromatic and then there's this rich, deep red of the blood, it's very effective!
