I still haven't been feeling so great lately, and when I sat down to draw this is what came out of my head. SW's wings are supposed to be wrapped in some sort of bandages so she can't use them.
This disturbs me some, her smile and contentment and my dark desire to do the same. And what was going through my head when drawing it.
"I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
And when I land, will my eyes be closed or open?"
~ Lyrics are from Bjork's "Hyper Ballad"
Featuring lame Photoshop bg attempt since I suck at them, and didn't have the patience to draw one. :) Wanted to use blue cause I don't really like this color but I thought it was more like a sunrise? idk.

Oh gosh ;___; You really just made me smile like nothing else. Your kind words mean so much to me because I have seen you do the same, and your art is so beyond phenomenal that I fangirl when you comment on my stuff ; ; And hearing you say you like the linework and anatomy couldn't be any bigger a compliment for me, as those are the two hardest parts of art for me. Thank you so much lovely!
I love that SW has a slight smile on her face, like letting go of all the pain has finally given way to solace. It's so peaceful, despite the obvious self-harm violence. Also, Bjork <3 Hope your emotions mend soon, our hearts are with you through the tumults of life. Many of us have been there, are there, and struggle with these kinds of feelings. This is not to say that your feeling are invalid, of course. Your pain is unique to you, and I do hope that you can continue to fight your way out of the darkness that has pulled you in.
First off, Jolyn, this is so breathtakingly beautiful. This is stunning work, whether you realize it or not. Everything from the flow of her body to the concept of the whole piece to the detail and thought you put into binding her wings and giving her a macabre grin, makes this easily one of my favorite pieces of yours maybe ever. I actually like the clean and understated background, so FEH. XP I love the lyrics, too. I love Bjork and I love this song. I'm really proud of you for sticking to your resolve to draw more this year. You just keep improving more and more with every new piece you upload. I am, quite frankly, shocked at the speed at which you've been developing in your style and technique! And you should be proud of yourself, too. And thank god you get to have art as an alternative outlet again, so that there isn't as much of a need for us to resort to old habits to numb the feelings out. Even though it, of course, troubles me deeply to know that you are suffering and there is so little I can do to help you in your time of need right now, it brings me comfort to know that you are allowing yourself to take time out to do beautiful, meaningful and emotional artwork like this that can help to understand, accept, and move on from the pain in at least some small way, if even for a moment. So I am encouraged to see you drawing and not keeping this shit just bottled up inside, because that is when shit gets deadly. So, anyway, I just want you to know how special and talented and kind and loyal and wonderful you are, and how fortunate I am for having you in my life. I love you so much more than you will ever understand, my Jolyns. To the moon and the stars and our galaxy's black hole and the horsehead nebula and back again. <3 I promsie everything will be alright as long as we stick together and try our best to just keep doing the next right thing. xoxoxox
You always know exactly what to say to me to make me feel so good about myself Laura. To hear you say that I keep improving, it just makes me feel so validated for the art I've been making, that others can see the effort I've been putting into it. I am trying to truly loosen up with my style, and I can 100% thank you for any growth you've seen in my work. Your advice helped me tremendously, and helped me get out of the rut I was in. I hope you know I see the same in your work. And you're so right about getting this shit out before it overwhelms us, and it is just about doing the next right thing, and I'm just trying to remind myself of that. I love you always and forever to the depths of the ocean and the andromeda galaxy and I love you more than I love cats which is like a lot ok. XD
You have no idea how much I would love that. I've known you longer than anyone else around and it would be so fun to sit back and reminisce about the old Beast Wars days, lol. I was actually thinking about my old BW characters the other day and remembered I gave SW a sister named SnowPaw the arctic wolf… she was actually who I originally started out RPing as on #beastieschat. I so need to draw her again but BW characters are a bitch to draw.
You are always so kind, thank you for being there and not giving up on me for all these years

Yup the up there is still the most current haven't had a new ref done in a long while.
I think we've both been through hell and back, some how I kept moving forward and since we've known each other for such a long time, when I saw you struggling like myself I figured that I am not the only one sitting there at the edge every day looking out and wondering about letting go at times.
I always think of myself sitting at the edge looking over the world and there is a security rope of friends chained hand to hand keeping me from letting go when I want to the most, when I just say fuck it all and curl into a ball.

I'll never figure out how you do those crisp lovely photoshop color field bg's up against hand drawn lines. ._. I've been trying for years and i can never get it right.
sad, but lovely. -hugs close- and you're right-- that expression is beautiful and absolutely so creepy. perfect for the lyrics. and i love those bandages on the wings. really creepy symbolism, that something used for healing would prevent SW from flying, but I like the conflation. if it's creeping me out it's doing its thang right.
I hope you feel better~

Your comments are so incredible, they are always so filled with thought and show you really took the time to look at the picture and analyze the message. I can't tell you how much that means to me. We used to always do that with each others work, but it seems like that has become a rarity nowadays.
The fact that you feel that creepy vibe is exactly what I was going for, and the symbolism with the wings bandaged up. And thank you for the kind words, I'm ok, life is just stupid sometimes.

I know the feels. I don't comment as much as i used to anymore either, and i'm usually late when I do~ :C we're all older now and real life is stupid and annoying. BUT I do still fan over people's work (particularly yours). And you also do a kind of work that i'm very into, and that I do also. Your characters have always been very symbol-laden, and symbols and stories are kind of how i filter the world, so that's why i am drawn to your stuff. :3 and always have been.
JUST KNOW That even if i'm a derp and forget to comment i'm sitting on the sidelines really digging the things you do. :3
I'm getting gushy-rambly so i'll stop now but yes.
And I'm glad you're doing okay. /okay-er.
