First thing's first, should I add some black watercolor to the background? Or keep it as it is? Anyway, a little emotional caption for the piece.


A small clip of a story I've worked on:

"Her shell gave way in the months of his passing. Every night, she wept. Every day, she masked. Bit by bit, her facade would give and crack. Her once happy demeanor, clouded by the dark aura seeping from her shell. Giving off a poison that consumed everyone around her, slowly. Unnoticed. Nightmares filled her sleep. Evil nightmares of suicide, death, hate and fear. Everyone she had ever loved always left her life. First it was her father. Followed by her mother. Her friends, her family...She was exposed to all the hate and loathing she had feared. Her glass castle cracked the moment she lost him. She watched in agony as she began to release her poison. Her facade now falling to pieces. All she wanted was to love. All she wanted was to help. And when the time came, everyone left her. Even giving into suicide to escape her. She was someone, no one could love."

Mental illness is a bitch guys. It's nothing to joke about.
