Hey.. at least it counted a comment ((or 2 now))

Whoa...LOVE this one!

Good show of emotion! Nice piece! =3

Beautiful! So much detail. He looks so sad *hugs him*

cute!!

Amazing... love the colors and the background.

awww dont be to sad now *huggles*

looks great blotch ^^

Wow, that's just... powerful. REALLY so.

Prints?

Someday. ;]

Pic really hit it off with me... <3 It's amazing.

i agree, pics like this hit me too, this is soo well done. id definately buy a print!! *fav*

I definitely would buy a print as well. This painting and I relate in far too many ways not to, and it's honestly literally perfect in every sense of the word.

awwww so sad...and so beautiful, each of your pic is an incredible piece of art

I think you really captured the emotion.

I like the petals blowing away in the breeze, it really brings so much life from such a relatively minor detail.

Thats really great artwork *steals and puts it as wallpaper* X3

That's the way I feel now.

Wow that's incredible
Looks really great :)

Is there a story behind this?

that's some really amazing detail you've put in this picture, it also seems like a nice emotional piece too. The background there is beautiful.

So sad... but I'm sure most of us have been there.... I feel that way lately. Excellent yet again, though^^

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am going through this now. Thought someone loved me and cared for me, but turns out it was a lie and they chose another. Life goes on. We just need to be strong.

aww
poor foxy
*huggles*

no end to how much i love your work. and this is no exception...

Geez, I can relate to this so badly. What a powerful piece of art though, you really worked soul into that individual there, and it makes the punch of the emotion that much better. Fantastic work, just fantastic.

I love it when you lot create powerful images like this. It's easily one of your artistic strengths.

Yeah, I love it, but he looks really sad.....

**Hugs**

Huh, well i feel better...

Aww, how could someone not love such a sweet looking fox. I'd give him a chance. :)

I don't think I can add anything to the other commenters.. This piece is powerful, it's moving, it's.. Wow, holy christ.

Your best work ever, in my opinion, Blotch. (Besides Dogs' Days)

and sometimes even if you try it, it does not work out....

Y'know, I actually find the melancholy of this piece to be very relaxing. It's a tad on the depressing side, but appeals more to quiet acceptance. Maybe... it just wasn't going to happen.

He'll reflect on it a while, but move on, his disappointment clearing just as those clouds will inevitably give way to the sun.

That is an amazing piece. Extremely evocative, on a number of levels.

The emotional impact of this piece is just staggering, but very nicely understated, too. And the artwork itself is simply beautiful.

w.o.w.... very nice blotch!

This is just a stunning piece. The emotion is rather clear and it just is a great message.

Aww, the poor thing! *hugs him better*

Puppy, with paws like that you shouldn't need a daisy to tell you who loves you.

Incidentally, Blotch, congratulations on your (as currently displayed) 4294967294 favourites! *wag*

This picture really speaks for itself. Very amazing!
If you ever make pronts I'll hafta try and get my paw on one >.<

This picture is now my #1 favorite form you guys. Amazing, please keep it up!

This is gorgeous. You did such detail and colour in the back round. I love how the sky matches his mood,
or, as to say. Most the colours. Good job. Really

Who made the fox sad? Everyone, let's find the bastard and beat him senseless.

A nice old-fashioned shaking should do the trick. Maybe an additional slap to the face or two if the emo persists. ;3

I'm helping!

Aww I feel that.

Floofy tail :3
Hi thar! *Hugs fox*

Well, I might be the millionth person to tell you how impressive this is but it is really pretty amazing. Like everyone else has said it carries a lot of emotional impact too, although I've really gotten more of a quiet loneliness from it than jut sadness. I think melancholy is a very good word for it, sort of like what  Ryuka said.

My favorite touch is the single petal left on the stem the fox is holding.

Anyways, again: fantastic work. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

lolwut?

Favorites: 4294967294

the hell?

This pic so rings a chord with me... On so many different levels.

Ahh, I love the feeling in this picture. It all goes so perfectly together. Such wonderful work <3

Poor sad foxy! This is beautiful and emotional in good taste.

Poor thing. The atmosphere here is greatly portrayed. =)

Also, Favorites: 4294967294. I think that's cheating somehow.

The first words that came into my head? 'God that's beautiful.' And I don't say/think that a lot.

that's both depressing and endearing somehow.

I know how you feel.. *pat pat* Except.. well.. I'm a girl.. and I think like that about... boys... Lol, I'll be quiet now. =P

So many different thoughts come to mind, but one stands out..

Its like seeing a memory but onto a canvas... Excellent work in all respects.

Interesting picture, the details are pure epic, but the theme is even moreso, very down to earth stuff. Nice work

Oh... I know that feeling.

And your artwork is so beautiful, it really is... hauntingly so.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

Blotch, can I please just have this? It's so heart felt and beautiful in so many ways... I love the emotion that is building in his eyes and the way he hold everything. The dramatic sky and the background really add to this piece and I have to say that this is definitely one of your best. I mean that in the best of ways too, because we see sexy, yiffy stuff from you all the time and we see happy moments, but we never get this sort of so true to life (in a way to speak) stuff out of you all the time. I really like it and I think anyone would be a fool to not favorite this.

Actually, it's making me think of a good story idea. Hehe, can I borrow the picture for the story? Either way I'm writing a story now ;)

You are simply amazing... in so many ways.

Thanks...

*blinks away a tear*

amazing.. well not amazing more that amazing.. i need to make a new word for your art O_o

Your facial expressions are purely amazing.

This belongs in a museum...

Interesting you should say that Vulpin. I'm a Museum Studies grad student and lately I've been thinking a lot about the positioning of furry art within mainstream art and its potential for exhibition. Interpreted correctly I think a very successful show or gallery or furry art could be created. There are many artists who are very talented and offer unique expression through their work and it deserves recognition. Does anyone know of furry art being displayed in a curated venue?

I've seen art that would be classified as Furry in venues before, but never called such.

Not curated, perhaps, but I know of an art journal that has yet to come out.

Aether D' Animeux, done by  KrossBreeder

Mew, certainly there is a long tradition on anthro in art and literature so it would certainly possible to give contemporary furry art historical context. Thank you for the link to that journal, it is very interesting.

Daw! So Cute! Poor fella, I feel for him! Love is only beautiful when its a two-way thing..

Such a sad time, but a very well done pic, Blotch. :)

So true...

Especially in my context.

Wonderful work as always.

I can somehow relate to this.

A very powerful image. I'm going through some stuff (well..isn't everyone!) so it kind of strikes a chord.

>:(
He is going to get rained on.

amazing X3

Such a nicely done piece. I was hit some emotions...

I know that feeling, very well captured. Nicely done.

AWWWW....

Damn, is there no end to your awesomeness?

This reminds me of me alot because i'm actually in love with a wolfy right now who he was the first I meet and I seriously can't tell him that I love him very deeply because he isn't ready yet and that i'm scared too to start a relationship again. XP sorry to vent XP

Xendrax

Oh my gosh... This picture is just, gorgeous. Instant favorite--I just can't stop looking at it!

Wow, thats very, very beautifully done and definitely stirs the heart. o..o I think I'm gonna set that as my desktop image... o..o

Looks like someone needs a hug!

exact moment im in. love the pic. speaks out of my soul.

Art so vivid and deep i can almost taste it. Possibly one of the greatest works of art on this website. *much appreciation*

I love this picture, so much emotion has been put into it. Such a beautiful job on this. If this ever becomes a print you can expect me to snag one for sure. =)

Very touching. I don't pretend to know how you feel. But you captured the emotion so beautifully.

aww he needs a hug. or two. or three X3

Wow, stunning. You never cease to amaze me blotch. I will have to fav this. :) Great work!

Good job, you've done great at capturing the emotion and feeling. :3

How could anyone turn down a face like that? Tell him to get his cute self over here and I will give him some loving! heh

This should be a desktop. This is beautiful.

Deep....like i wish my pockets could be :)

Touching.

*shares my love* Lovely pic, very beautiful

I'm going through a breakup. Sometimes, that's exactly how I feel. The clouds and background is AWESOME too

very nice

wonderfulwonderfulwonderfulwonderful

one day I shall have to do a story for you B.

V.

I would so love to buy this piece and frame it... My room could use more art... O.o I'd have to say this is ranked high up there as a truly favorite piece.

WOW another great pic thanks for sharing, just wondering whats going through his mind?

I felt like that a few weeks ago.

fantastic work Blotch

aww. splendid work artistically and pulling my heart strings *kisses the fox and put an arm around him supportingly*

Wow quite an intense image, the cloudy overcast sky adds to the mood :( can most definately tell he's not a very happy foxy... makes you just wanna sit down beside him and place an arm over his shoulder and give him a hug saying it'll be ok and try and comfort him as best ya can. I like your style in how you can bring things out in the sketches and art you draw/paint its always stood out.

This is so amazingly beautiful. The emotion in it is so evident and as usual the artwork itself is awesome.

You have captured the fragile emotion so perfectly it makes my heart ache.
I somewhat feel like that now.

Lovely as always

Yeah, that's how I felt after reading Dog's Days of Summer too

Oh man, i hadnt been so disappointed Since Kaze Ghost Warrior D:

...

How I feel...

Aww... :X) Amazing work. Your attention to detail once again is astounding. I love what you've done with his left forepaw bent back for his head to rest against it. All simply fantastic. *purr*

*sigh* I know the feeling...

*sigh*

/empathy

wow, just wow *speechless*

I love the detail and emotion shown in this piece. great work!! :)

He won't stay unloved for long...

WOW! Stunning... by far the most intense picture I've seen so far on FA.
very deep, I like it!

Looks like he needs a shoulder to lean on.

i know how that feels at times.......he looks just like my char

thats such a great image ^_^

this is excellently beautiful sad but beautiful

Such a fantastic mood peice, I'm really impressed.

Wow... this is really powerful..... You did a good job.

Yep yep, I know that feeling...

*nods* yea, I think we've all been there at one time or another

wow, wonderful piece. I am sure many of us can relate to the emotion portrayed.. I know I sure can. Nevertheless, the melancholy adds to it in a very good way.

Aw c'mon, fuzzy. What does a silly, ol' flower know? Now lemme brush your coat and you can try again with... him? Her? Whatever, just don't get so down, foxies is s'posed to be merry! hugs

Incredible, very hard hitting, unusual for your usual themes so it really captures attention. This is the kind of work that you don't have to be furry to appreciate the message of, too. I like that.

Yes, yes. It needs prints.

More evocative and deeper-reaching than you think...I'm sure all of us have felt this way at some point in their lives. Very piquant, on all levels.

very good as always - but I appreciate this one more than usual because I have felt that

The mood is captured beautifully. Would make a lovely wallpaper for a desktop. :)

That mood is perfect. Exactly how i've felt before. Sometimes you've got to try ....

Wonderful

How could anyone love you not? :3

Wow.... I'm not used to seeing sad stuff from you, but this is beautifully done.

You've captured the emotion quite well. Been there, done that, and hope to never have to go through it again.

*hugs the sad foxie*

Can you say, "New Wallpaper"?

Great work, as always.

I feel his pain!

This sounds kind of weird coming from a furry, but I'd be interested in seeing you guys do a series of landscapes some day. I love the environments your characters are in and I sometimes feel they're overlooked in favor of fluffy foxes and wry wolves. :3

I agree with you, their backgrounds are almost always as lively and or interesting as the subject matter. Just beautifully detailed through and through.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaawe, poor boy :(

Well, I'm just gonna go ahead and say what most have already said... But that's okay.

Besides the coloring and the details put into this piece, I really love the conveyed emotion. Sad, yet beautiful at the same time. Absolutely love it. Keep it up, man! ^_^

Wow...
Poor fox :/
Just wanna give him a hug.

It seems to me he's down, but not out. Like despite the fact he's sad now he's going to be fine in the long run.
Which is nice :)
A cute fox like him deserves to be happy.

Theres a storm coming...
I love how there is still one petal hanging off the stem.

Awww... I didn't even notice that. You're blowing my mind, Blotch.

You know what I think?
I think he needs to keep trying.

The sky is so beautiful...

I want to be at the location you've created here.. so pretty. ^_^

*leans against the wolfs back and pulls the trigger on an unloaded revolver... aiming into the nothingness*

There's a reason we miss our targets sometimes.

Excellent pic. :) Very cool.

*fox* damn, i'm so tired i'm just typing whatever. xD

you did a wonder full on this one i feel almost sad for this little guy we all have to take a leap of faith with love hehe some times and -_- some times that leap takes us down a very sad road

Awwwww..the tragedy of unrequited love.... so touching...so tragic...so...so....emotional...-wipes a tear-

wow

aww a cute fox like that could always find love here with me

aw >: *hugs* i've felt this before D:

oh my god this has to be on of the deepest and most beautiful pieces you have ever done. I only wish that I can do pieces like this one day

I'm feelin' it; kudos

Love the mood and how every little detail contributes to the overall feel of the piece. A definite fave :3

Awww.. *hugs the foxie* 'Don't be sad, you can't trust the flowers..'

i really connect to the emotion in this piece, as i've experienced rejection. you are an amazing artist, as allways, blotch. i actually empathize with a drawing.
bravo!!

...love

Hum... amazing texture/detail.

Yeah ignore the note... i'll email or whatever someday if i figure out what piece i like most :P as i try not to buy bunches of art from a single artist. :)

As i've yet to own more than a single piece of art from any artist ;) hehe

awww, thats a realy emotional pic GREAT JOB!!! ^-^

an excellent piece, i love it!

how appropriate for my life at this moment.

*Hug* Hang in there pussycat =3

I know the feeling... too well...

Someone needs a hug. :(

Beautiful work.

So awsome!

Wow! That is really wonderful. His expression, the colors, the weather... everything fits and supports the feeling and mood of the picture. FAV!

Normally I don't fave or even collect non-horse related works... But I'm both awestruck and completely captured by the pure depth of this piece.

I'm terrible at commenting on visual artwork, so I'll just tell you how downright breathtaking and inspiring this is.

Beautiful work. Love the facial expression and the emotion in the piece.

This is the type of art I would love to display on my own wall.. I really love this particular piece, the background makes it all I think! Wonderful, I am not even sure what else to say.

I LOVE the atmosphere...

ich weiß grad nicht was schlimmer ist, die depresionen die ich von dem Bild bekomme oder das alochtiefe geschleime.

die Depressionen... das "Geschleime" in den Comments is ja irgendwie normal^^

Awww poor baby.. I wanna snuggle him cause he looks sadful...
And fuzzy! <3

So much right with this one, wow. The brushwork, the colors, the background, the overall mood. It really strikes a chord with me.

I can hear the Chipmunks singin' "Bad Day" on the background...

Very good work, and I just know that lame feeling...

aww... those stupid flowers don't know what they're talkin bout..

Amazing work again :)

Just wanted to say I really, really like this piece. Vivid color that sets the theme, yet still focuses the viewer on the very nicely detailed fox. Beautiful vista there...

what's love without any pain?

So solemn and emotional.

i to know that feeling all to well

Excellent drawing, I loved it!

Aww. This is really sad because I've recently given up on chasing a dear friend of mine for romantic purposes. Aside from the weird hours he works and not being able to talk to him as often as I'd like, I guess it's finally sunk in that... he doesn't like me back, nearly half as much as I like him.

Loves me not...

I love the gloominess of this picture and the emotion (s)he is feeling. It brings me back to earlier days when I was going through the same thing.

this picture reminds me on the scene of the walt disney movie 'the beauty and the beast', when Bell's running over the meadow, sings and the little beautyful pieces of the blowballs are flying around there.. but actually not so sad.. :(

I love the detail, how you let the petals scatter kind of hinting his feelings, of abandonment.

I love introspective, emotionally charged pieces. Very well done! ^^

I love his expression - the picture is amazing, the landscape beautiful. Of all your pictures I love this kind best.

And how glad he'll be when he finally is loved. (He is male, I suppose?)

*has the anime buckets of tears running from my eyes and flooding the ground* It's so sad D:

and a tear is shed in the dark, for a precious love now lost,
the fires burning in their hearts, are gone their time has come and passed,
and one heavy phrase runs through his mind, a sad and evil thought
"you told me that you loved me.... i guess not"

Wow...that is deep and powerful. I know that I myself have felt that alone and that hurt. Blotch, you have captured it so incredibly well and this piece just speaks volumes as does all of your work. Thank you for capturing the other side of love...the side that hurts and is all to frequent for oh so many of us.

This is definitely a Favorite for me.

It's an awesome pice, the expression and pose is really beautiful and sad

Really deep, a wonderful job you've done =)

Pretty Prettys, c:
I think everyones had their fair share of downs. :l
Or not, i know a feel people who need a kick in the pants. >>

ANYWAY.
Comment before faveing. -doing so- :D

-fave-

-replyed on wrong account- :l

Amazing~

*hugs the foxy* awww

Faved.

....love.

....relate.

Hmmm..i...uhhh...can't really describe how much memories this pic makes me remember...it's quite powerfull i'd say~..

amazing! this is indescribably awesome, definite fave

Damn you!
Very well captured.

Desktop'd!

=^.,.^=

I... I really liked this one, really hit off for me.

+Faves <3 ;3

one of the best you have done i think. I love it.

That background is amazing. <3

Mm, with regards to this image, and the feeling of it... been there, done that and I'd give 'im a sympathetic hug... if this particular character were of the sort to accept it.

i like this so much i'm going to make it a personal t-shirt <_<

oh yeah! +favs!

Beautiful.

i comment on it again...

this really gets to me. more then brilliant drawn

Wow, I found this while listening to a song that just fits the mood perfectly! o.o

"Sleep" by Poets of the Fall

I wish I could blame the flower. Just one time.

*hugs*

Really great pic! I have a similar situation here too =/ so... i luv this!

NUUUUUUUUUU! Why is he not loooved?!?! I'll make him feel better!

Wow. That.. it's hard to put to words how this piece makes you feel. I looked at it at first, an thought 'Damn.. that's an incredibly detailed scene, fox and all' Then, after thinking a bit.. I realized that I was -crying- about it. I've had an incident rather recently, complicated as it is, that fits the theme of this picture a bit too well. Enough I"m afraid to pick up a flower of that kind and do it now. :P Thank you, with everything that I have Blotch, for this picture. It's hard to find a fur artist willing to do something pulling on other emotions than just lust. This, certainly does it. In loads. But yet, for all the deep, burning sensation one gets feeling for the fox, and by extension one's own self, there's another feeling that you want to keep looking at the picture. This would look beautiful on a wall, framed properly to protect it. Excellent work, and my hopes it's not the last of this type that we see!

Oh, an of course.. +fav.. and -fav just to +fav it again!

I can relate sometimes

Awwww.. I love em. Cute lil guy...

Amazing pic! =o
Detail! SO MUCH DETAIL! O3O
Awesomeness to the max! x3

(only one can be rewarded)

indeed.. thats kinda how i feel right now. Nice picture, great detail, good work as ever XD

Wow! I agree with everyone else who's posted: Wonderful detail!

Ah..., he looks like he's just been dumped, or discovered the one who's stolen his heart is not available.


I sure can relate to the latter. First time I ever fell head over heals for someone, I soon discovered she was also unavailable.

This todd needs a big hug.

I dunno much to say about this. :o Just that it's close to perfection.

This piece tugs at my heartstrings strongly. I absolutely adore it's melancholy beauty. It really speaks volumes. Amazing work.

Maybe my favorite work by you yet.

Poor fox :(
I'll give him a hug and maybe he can smile again.
Great work, and it evokes a very sad mood, but that's genius:)

When I was about to ask my vixen to marry me, she left me for drugs. It was the same day you posted this on DeviantArt. She said she no longer cared about me or kept me in her thoughts. I feel the same as him right now.

cant wait for the prints im buying two one for me and my mate

Guess we can relate ..

made me sad to see it made me cry when i relized what he was holding

OMG
Very Awesome.... Very Beautifull.... but... I love him... ^^
he is my friend ^^
=]

I'd love him

I simply adore this piece.

It simple expresses everything I have felt for the last 5 months. Just beautiful.

I would die for skills like you. *blushes in jelousy*

I would die for skills like you. *blushes in jelousy*

Oh my.... so close to home ^.^;;

PS I think it's beautifully done and I do not say that lightly

*is now desktop background*

Oh snap!!!! FAVE+!!!!

Poor guy; he's really unlucky; kiss and hug.

I already love him ^^

How did I not favorite this before? I must rectify this at once!

Wow, I really like the background in this pic

You are amazing!
I love this soo much.
great job on the fur ^^
*licks*

wow. Been there, done that... guess we all have.

That's a really untouched topic in this fandom.. It's also easily the best picece this year.

Thanks for sharing!

I like this picture :/ simple and messages much

As much as I like being sad(which i don't) How about a happy version? Puhweeeeeeez?

awwwww o.o

Poor Guy, he should go for it. :3

is beautiful.

Easy to relate to... The sad expression is very clear. <3
Poor guy seems set up for disappointments, going out on a cloudy day like that to a spot with tons of flowers that'll all only disappoint. (That game never seems to work in the participant's favor.)

Blotch, your deeply emotional pieces really get to me. Your work with expression and body poses does a wonderful job to allow emotion to just pour off the page.

You say so much with so little. Well, not that that mustn't have been a lot of work, but...

Probably heard this one a lot but it feels like a lot what I'm going through. ): I had to fav it. <3 Beautiful detailed work you did. I just wanna sit and cuddle with him. ;-;

Very beautiful, WALLPAPER! -makeswallpaper-

Whoa. This has got to be the best pic on FA yup, yup.

Wow. This is so epic! Very sad, but you were able to capture the emotion so well! Very good work

it looks like me but not black and no wings. i am feeling what he feels every day alone like no one cares about the way you feel this pic is definally me.

hi

This piece made me cry believe it or not. My Tucker Fox and I have been on and off for over a year and we never quite found anyone else. We were together for 6 months, broke a part for 4 and lived together on a chance for 1 and now we're apart but missing one another incredibly. This piece combined with one I relate to by Fluke of the k9 sitting on a dock alone at sunset are two pieces that match my feelings and my love's feelings to no end....Thank you Blotch for creating this piece, your work speaks in more ways then you intend and heal a love of two souls. -Anec Wolf

What can I say but that your art is wonderful? I like the emotion present in the his pose and expression.

LOVE IT!

he looks so hurt! *offers a new daisy* best two out of three?

I know how he feels. And I agree where you just have to keep trying. The only difference is that the one I need is a fox.

As always, beautiful work!

I am really feeling this right now. I have been and am going through a lot of emotions. They only seem to get more complex and overwhelming.

This is beautiful, I feel like I can reach out and help him.

Heh, this is a fantastic piece and definitely something I can relate to...just sucks when trying isn't even enough. =/ Anyways nough bout my sobstory. This is a great piece and it has a lot of meaning to it. Great job.

I so do want that cute dogie, is so nice in that pic, makes you want to take 'em home.

Ow... he's face shows, the last one means "not". Poor guy.

Yaay! story of my life there

absolutely stuning! + fave + stalkies + anything u want!.... (it kinda loks like taurinfox.?

I love this one, your style is like that out of a childrens book ^.^

no harm in it :)

i like this, conveys the feeling and idea well

very nice. good detail *looks sad* This picture says something to me.

Beautiful work, Everything comes together so well the backk round is just amazing and the character just breath taking.

god its so sad.

Wow, your art is really beautiful!

I love this picture. I can relate because I feel lonely tonight. I wish I had somebody to snuggle up with and share my whole life with.

I absolutely love this picture. Very melancholy. I bought a print of this at AC and it's going to hang right over my desk. There are so many emotions expressed in this image...I'm going to use it as a source of inspiration for my writing.

It was wonderful meeting you at AC. Keep up the good work.

I felt *just* like this a while back & just seeing this image made me feel like someone out there understood, I think it is your best work but then I may be biased.

I missed buying a print of this, perhaps I can get one at the next con... twas great to meet you at Anthrocon this past weekend hope to see you & more beautiful art at the next.
