Description I haven't posted a vent on this site in a really long time. But I do like this one, so I might as well get a bit of feedback.

The story behind this is a slightly scary one. It was way back during the summer I had first joined Deviantart. I was still on my ~TeddiursaBear account. There was one day when I began receiving multiple notes and comments from multiple accounts saying horrible things about me. Most of them were general insults about my artwork and character, but it wasn't until I switched accounts and tried to hide that they started getting worse. Eventually it got to very personal things about my life. They knew what high school I went to, and the marital status of my parents... and things that I never share with anyone but my closest friends. Naturally, the accounts got banned, but it wasn't until I'd made amends with a person I was fighting with that they finally stopped. Granted, I'd ranted a bit in a journal about the person, but never did I use any names or user accounts. Frankly, I've never thought the comments I'd gotten matched the things that I'd said. I was still pretty young and naive, and the threats were clearly from someone either my age or much older...

This happened probably four years ago now, but it still gets to me sometimes. I wouldn't really have to think about it so much if I'd found out who the other person/people were, but I've never gotten that closure. I did go to my local police station once they got really bad, but they had no way of finding out who it was. (Honestly, I don't think they even tried...)

So... kudos to those who read all of that.

tl;dr: lots of emotion. Lots of anger. Was harassed, still don't know who did it. Pretty, emo, vent picture.

Yeah, the time was hard, and when I was drawing this, the memories were hitting me pretty badly. But there haven't been any happenings like that since, so it's been okay. c:
(Mostly the piece was just an excuse for me to draw something dark.)

FFF When things like this happen, it makes me lose faith in humanity and want to kick something. Hopefully their faces, that would be good :3
Gah, why do people have to go and do crap like this to you? Especially you of all people, you do not deserve experiencing things like this in your life D:
I do hope nothing like this happens to you ever again sweety :c and if it does for whatever reasons, if I can help in any way at all, please do let me know instantly You don't have to face things alone c:

Thank you, dear. Stuff like that really makes me smile. At the time, I didn't have many people supporting me in real life or on here, so it was super tough. Now, though, it's nice to know that there are users on here that have no idea who I am for real, but still want to help me feel better. It makes that fuzzy feeling come back to me.

Even though it portraits what it does, it's still an amazing piece, definitely.
The expression is simply fantastic, and you made it quite clear the emotion you wanted to transmit.
Not to mention the terrific detail.
Great job.

I'm really sorry that had to happen to you.
These things always leave a mark on us unfortunately, always.
Can't understand how people can be like this, so mean and unthoughtful, eh...
Even if there was a reason, it still wouldn't justify such act.
Screw that person and what was said by it, you have an amazing art, you really do.
Stay well~

Thank you for that. Tonight's had a bit of turmoil on the inside because of this, but it's nice to know you still appreciate the picture in itself.

You're very welcome
Ha, I'm sorry to hear that =<
But of course, it's still an amazing piece, and as they say, "An image is worth a thousand words".
Do hope you get better soon, hopefully.

Oh you finished the picture! I didnt know it was a vent though. :/

That's terrible what happened to you buddy. I'd get pretty frusterated too if i didnt have any closure with something like that and never found out who it was. >~<

I think this picture turned out amazing though now that it's finished.

I adore the emotion that can be seen in this image, you have done an amazing job at conveying that.

Any form of bullying affects the victim for a long time, so closure would be something you'd yearn for :c

Thank you so much for that~
And yeah, it's been a bit hard, especially for the months afterwards. But nothing has happened since, so I figure the person was all bark and no bite. Let me tell you though, nothing is scarier than when a stranger knows more about you than your best friend. >>;;
