A piece I've been working on for a while.

Alright now for a lengthy explanation of this.

My life lately has been a storm. A whirling typhoon of emotional ups and downs, constant change.
I've been dealing with a lot. I'm pretty much homeless, living off the good will of my friends until I can care for myself. I've gone through 3 different jobs, losing them for no fault of my own, making my plans to get myself on my feet very difficult. I've dealt with heartbreak from 2 serious relationships. I've dealt with my ever constant companion, pain, worsening and interfering with my daily life. I've realized my mother wasn't who I thought she was. I've seen her flaws and how they've affected me. I've fought past anxiety and depression. And there's plenty of other little things that have been on my plate that have made my load very heavy right now as I try to climb up this cliff.

But through it all I think I've done pretty damn good for a 20 year old small blond white girl alone and miles from her homeland or last remaining 2 family members. I've stood strong. I've learned how to laugh when bad things happen. I've learned how to laugh at myself. For the past few months, I have really been fighting everything. I've taken every blow with grace and dignity and faced the situation down, even turned it in my favor. I've stared right into the storm and I've screamed at it. I will not back down or shy away. I won't curl up and take shelter. I'll stand in the lightning and rain and I'll dance, even if I'm struck.

That's the emotional meaning behind the piece.

As for why Razii has wings and horns and shit?

Some of my very old followers may remember my first fursona was a dragonness named "FireHeart". FireHeart has always been a representation of my deepest thoughts. She's been a non-physical entity I have used to give me guidance, to give me strength in times of need. I used to believe she was an actual spirit inhabiting my body. I'm not sure if that's the case now, or if she's simply a representation of my wisdom and courage I have learned to utilize in a beneficial way. Every main sona I have had since her has been made into a vessel of her spirit. If you look through my gallery you'll see my last sona, Isuzo, has a heart tattoed on her back, and now Razii, if you look at her back, has spots on her back which have formed into a tribal looking heart symbol. That's the "seal" for this dragonness, and when my sona is made emotional enough, especially if anger is involved, FireHeart will break free of the seal and begin to take over her host's body. This is what is occurring in this piece.
