Artist's Comments


WOW, MORE ART? O:

WELL.
I started this a few weeks ago, probably after the Greeley concert, haha.

This song means a LOT to me right now, with the whole "follow your dreams" thing. When your parents look down on art because of how impractical it makes your future, you really start to think about it.
All I know is, deep in my heart, art is the only thing that will truly make me happy. And no matter what they tell me, no matter how down they get me, I'll just keep following my dreams.

There's a lot of symbolism here. This all has a lot of meaning to me. <3

And you might remember my alter (dream) fursona. I don't think I've mentioned, since I haven't submitted any pictures of her in a while, but I decided to name her Sarcelle (teal in french, which I think has some relation to the color of birds in the translation? Anyway, it fits, since she's so dreamlike anyway.)

Lyrics, yes?

Life is a Garden by Greeley Estates

You feel their eyes upon you
you hear their words behind you
what do they know about you?
they'll tell you who you should be
tell you what you should do
they'll never believe in you

somebody should have told you
it never comes easy
somebody should have told you that
there's no guarantees
that you lose it all
when you stop dreaming
there's no way to know
if you run away
there's no looking back

this is your time to stand up
this is the time to fight for
all that you know and you believe
you owe it to yourself to
find out what you're meant for
there's no way to know if you run

somebody should have told you
it never comes easy
somebody should have told you that
there's no guarantees
that you lose it all
when you stop dreaming
there's no way to know
if you run away
there's no looking back

they tell us who to be while ignoring all our dreams
so we'll throw it away
why is it they can't see we're who we want to be
we'll throw it away

why can't they see
that we'll never be who they want us to be
we'll never be
we have too many dreams
too many dreams to just throw them away

Your style is so amazingly unique, one of the many reasons why I enjoy watching you.
Also, many of your pieces have lots of meaning behind them and are quite inspirational. I adore your artwork =)

just a HEART ATTACK waiting to happen
:iconwolfehness:
The symbolism and concept of this picture is truley amazing. I love the colours you use and how the background sky is never really 100% coloured in but more of a drippy look.

that skull on Nillas head is looking pretty cool too X3

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

As sad as it sounds, i seriously don't think I'd be here without that song. I first heard it right after the end of freshmen year, and you know what was happening then.

Without them, god, I don't want to think about what would have happened.

<3

I love this so much for so many reasons. <3 <3

Gorgeous job - I love your new teal character there in the background...Sarcelle...what a great name! :)

I love how you coloured this, and just...everything. I know it sounds corny and obsessive fangirl-ish, but whenever I see your art, I just can help but stare in awe at it for several minutes.
