There's a distinct, almost empty-looking melancholy in his eyes...

whoa.
dude..thank you. it was kinda exactly how I was feeling when I drew this.
This is the first time I've ever had someone pay me the kind of compliment I've paid others after being made to feel something by something they've done. Thank you so much.

You're welcome, Zidders. Truly. I saw the drawing and those were the first words to come to mind, oddly. ^ ^: I couldn't help but comment. If I helped you feel better, then I'm glad you now do. ^_^ I'm enjoying your new style; you certainly have more talent than I do when it comes to sketching expressions.

:3

:)
New style = not sucking as much XD

Cheer up, emo roo!

Hehehe mostly poking fun at myself here. I'm actually pretty happy :)

I bet he's sad because his fluffy hair is gone. That would be cause for immense sadness!

Seriously though, I love the tilt of the head and the look of the eyes.

Haha <3 <3 ^_^

I have been way behind on my submissions so I just got to this.I very much feel the sadness here. I have to say I have always felt that if a subject, character, fursona etc is important to you that there should be art of them in a wide range of emotions and circumstances. I made a set of commissions for my old fursona for that very reason. Thoughts I-III. I am sorry if you felt like this but I'm glad to see you chose to reflect it in art. It gives everything we imagine more meaning and brings it one step closer to real I feel.

Thank you..that means very much to me. To be totally honest, I feel like this a lot inside, I just realized some time ago now that my relationships generally remain a lot healthier if I put on a brave face-fake it till I make it. I dwell too much, some times, and get way too insecure/clingy. But I agree...I need to draw more of Zid showing different emotions.

I meant to respond to this sooner but got distracted sorry. I do understand what you mean but I have to say you also have to be honest with yourself and your partner/partners. If the relationship cant survive who you are then you need to find a way to work on changing yourself for the better or a relationship that fits you issues and all. I know its a bit cliche but honesty really is one if not the most important part of a relationship. Its the only way to build real trust. I'm actually a lot like you in that insecure/clingy part and I think that helped lead to the end of my first relationship but since then I have gained a some more confidence in myself part of why I am a kangaroo now and am in a new relationship with someone who can be rather jealous but with my clinginess that just makes me feel wanted. Will it work who knows but we are happy and it certainly seems it fits us both well.

I'm pretty lucky to be where i'm at, a place where I can make mistakes and still have that cushion to land on. I just try my best not to take them for granted.

Yeah. I'm glad you have a bit of security I hope it helps keep you from feeling like this as often. *hugs*
