This piece is part of another music-art collaboration, with 
colson and 
foxamoore. It's a much more melancholy version than the original, and I like its more personal and intimate feeling. Check it out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12366916/
I really enjoyed painting this piece. I don't get nearly enough requests for painty work or for more serious/moody work, so I jumped on the opportunity eagerly, hah.
I think the painting is probably best explained by Colson's description of the song:
For several years now, I have battled dysthymia - doctors might categorize it as a more mild form of major depression, but most of the time it doesn't feel like that. Sometimes I wake up and for no reason at all, the sky is grey and low, it is cold, faces are unfriendly, and the thoughts - oh, the thoughts - they start spinning yarn inside my head, telling me how worthless I am, how there's lots of reasons I'm alone or I'll never find someone, etc. It can be difficult to interrupt this process, even when you know it's logically wrong.
I've tried lots of things to varying degrees of success to treat this issue - I am lucky to have a support network of friends who don't judge me and are there for me, and I sincerely hope that anyone else suffering from a mental condition is similarly lucky. If you happen to know someone struggling, the best thing you can do for them is to just be there for them. Don't trivialize their pain, but be there for them to lean against. You are not the leg to stand on, but you can provide a strong foundation for them to lean against.
Some days are good, some are not, but every day is a continued search for the magical medicine that is the fabled Esuna. Maybe one day I will find it. Until then, I'll keep searching, and do my best to keep my chin up.
One more spoon of cough syrup, now.
