AWWWWWWWWWWWW! *hugs him*

nawwwwwww pachyyyyyyy *Picks you up and Glomp huggles you*

Awww dont be sad! -hugs-

*hugs the big Rhino tight* as stressful and as depressing as one's troubles can be, you should always know you got family and your friends here to carry ya through, going alone on such can sometimes bring even more sadness not only to you but those around you, something I learned towards the end of this year.

Should anything ever trouble ya so much Pachy, you got friends Hi and Low to support you and carry you through :)

Thanks, Lodoss - Very nice of you to say :) And I'm doing good - this is just that time of year where I look back and think about things. I hope you're doing good too :)

well aside from a tragic event at the end of my college term things have been ok nearing year's end.

*holds up a glass*
Here's is to friends, family, and all those we've lost dear to us this past year, may none ever be forgotten.

Cheers! To friends, family, and to those we've lost. (and to amazingly fast replies ^^).

Thinking about your troubles is not the same as worrying about your troubles. Check out "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie.

Excellent drawing in this one.

Thanks, Fanimal :) That sounds like good advice.

Some of us are our worst and harshest critics, our own worst enemy. While self-reflection is wise, it is hopefully not something to be feared or something that turns out to be harmful. This is a great picture, done with your eye for detail, and splendidly colored - especially the candlelight reflected on the rhino.

There are a lot of people out there who suck. You are NOT one of them. *hugs*

Thanks, Captain :) I didn't really mean to come across as such a downer - this one just sort of ended up that way. By the way, thank you! You seem to have picked up on my affinity for rhinoceroses ^^

*tender hugs*

D'aww, poor Rhino. Self reflection is good, but not self doubt or wallowing into misery. :3 I herby proclaim it hug a Rhino day.

Thanks, Tombfyre! You're right, and I'm doing fine - I was just in the moment when I sketched this :)

We all have them from time to time, I'm sure. ^^

*hugs* you can get it right next time. =3

Thanks, Ollis! I like the message in that.

In retrospect, I hope you don't mind me referencing your pic. It's a long story, but when you posted it (around Thanksgiving) it really mirrored something I was going through with my family.

aww, the poor guy, I feel as though I can relate to him
:P

I'm sure you can :) I couldn't imagine going through life without having any regrets. I guess the key is to not get caught up in them.

That is a very well done piece. :)

Thank you very much!

oh, he looks really sad. don't be sad, your in a suit with a small amount of alcohol.

This is a very heartfelt piece, my friend. I must echo previous sentiments, you so do NOT suck. Learn from what's happened, and make yourself an even better rhino :)

Thanks, BW! I try not to dwell on things - I just caught myself in the moment with this one. Think it's that time of year ^^ *high-fives but misses*

We all feel that way at times. But you certainly don't suck when it comes to yer art! It looks amazing! =3

Thanks, Drew! You're one heck-of-a nice guy :)

*hug* you do suck, your a wonderful artist.

sorry there typo, *hugs you* you don't suck as i was meant to say* hugs you and offers you some cake* I'm really sorry *hugs*

No worries! I got a chuckle out of it :) I know what you meant, and it's sweet of you to say.

Beautiful.

It's a beautiful picture dude and yeah, we all feel that way sometimes.

Thanks, Tolstoy :)

Excellent expression, the body langauge/pose really sells the mood and emotion. Nice clothing too, I like the colors in this image too, you really did a good job here man.

Thanks, bud! This took a long time to color, and I added the candle in after I scanned it into my computer - so the candle was drawn by mouse. I'm glad you like it - I'm trying to be more dynamic with the lighting/shading :)

Wow that is a very cool drawing nice work bud !!

Thank you!

Oh dear. Looks like someone needs a big hug to help clear away his troubles. Nice drawing by the way.

Thank you!

*Take a seat next to the downtrodden pachyderm, handing him a cheeseburger from a fast food bag* "Here. You look like you could use some comfort food of sorts." ;3 "Wanna talk about what's on yer mind?"

Just the winter blues ^^ Thanks for the fun comment :)

Your quite welcome. ;3

Looks like his date got cold feet.
