Killing the painby *boum

I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved
Am I too lost?
---Tourniquet by Evanescence

This, I think, is the most disgusting yet most beautiful thing I've ever drawn. It's a shame I can't draw blood properly.

I'm always looking for more ways to express that character's distress. I don't think I can go any further than that.

[Can you believe I had to change the title ten times because "And I'm pouring crimson regret" and "Am I too lost to be saved" both exist?!]

I just love this piece. It feels so obvois, that she's in the shower - because there she is alone and sure that no one sees her sliting her wrists. She might have thought 'Will it be okay if they find my body naked?', but she decided that in the shower she's safe from her hommates' eyes. Maybe she's still living with her parents and she doesn't want them to know that she's depressed, because her feelings are irracional and she knows it. Or is she just too proud to show her weakness?

This drawing is so intense I can almost hear the story of this girl as if she was telling it to me herself. Really, you did an amazing job. I hope this girl finds whatever she's seeking on the other side.



...you made me cry, God damnit! ;(

Wow, such an emotional comment, thank you. It's based on a story I'm working on when I have the time. She survives. :)

I know this may sound weird. But I love this one. It has so much emotion for me. I have been in some dark places in my life. And this matches those places. I love the song also. I am drawn to it. You did great on this.

Aaaah, c'est effroyable. Le sang n'est pas maîtrisé, comme tu dis, mais l'essentiel est réussi, surtout l'expression, les couleurs... Ça fait mal et ça rend triste rien qu'à le voir. Félicitations.

This is brilliant for many reasons. How old were you when you made it?

I only ask because I had made similar images (including self-portraits) when I was younger. I threw all of those images away; kind of like the closing of a closure experience.

Seeing your image is powerful because it reminds me of my own work back then--the style, the color etc... it all chills me with memories, and makes me smile because of the healing powers of art.

Thanks.
