looks like he dosnt like water

if its she, is she givin birth to a child? (or more?)
if its a he, is he bein raped in the as? (by more ppl at once?)

Why does everything have to be weird...can't it just be deep emotional anguish and not something weird and/or sexual?

This. Then again, it's furries.

My immediate response was that a bug was inserted anally and and began eating his/her insides out while he/she simultaneously was suffering meth withdrawal symptoms. But thats just me

weirdos... you've been on the internet too long.

and we aint leavin!!!!!!!

you furries always think and misjudge a drawing for something sexual...

I didn´t think of something sexual... nooo I´m an outsider... lol

Thank you for making me even less proud of being a member of this site.

hahahahhaa

What.

I see this and I think agony, even without the title, very nice work!

Fuck, I feel like that right now

Beautiful piece...feels the way I'm feeling now. I went on Friday for outpatient surgery to have a small pocket of infection removed and awoke to find that the small pocket of infection was actually the entire piece of surgical mesh covering my left side so it all had to be replaced. The pain is soo intense and the mental anguish of not expecting the surgery to be huge is devastating. This piece really speaks to me on those levels. Great job as always Kacey.

that sounds terrible! =( You have my sympathies! I hope you feel better soon...

Thanks. I'm on the upswing already...strangely enough horrible things like that happen all the time to me. Never gets easier on the mind though.

Very nice.

Wow man, This is insanely emotional... Epic awesome work.

Wow, that's very demonstrative - great capturing of the emotion here.

well you won, the emotion in this is staggering

Amazing is all I can say. Such an emotional pic, I can feel the anguish.

amazing detail to it

You're really good at conveying emotion in your art. I like this and I went and checked out that song. Yeah, it's sad. Reminds me of a time I went through a few years ago.

Wow... I love the emotion shown here...
I don't know why but the story I see behind this (TF-minded person) is someone who had been tortured and cursed to be nothing but a non-anthro animal... keeping the soul, but leaving her unable to speak, only able to walk around like an animal.
Of course, this comes from the very feline-shaped head and the fact that whoever it is, is on hands and feet or hands and knees. Maybe not actually a non-anthro, but still...
Not that the background matters too much... the sadness, the pain... gods...
*hugs Kacey* Damn I see a lot of my recent emotions in this. You're so good...

The emotion is overwhelming

Amazing ^^

Amazing, I can almost feel the agony that's shown in that picture. Just truly amazingly done!

I think you got that emotion across quite well.
Very beautifully done.

wow Im so jeliouse of your paintings

I lovethe emotion, you captured it perfectly. the colors suit the emotion really good to. You did a really beautiful job on this.

This is exactly how the love of my life makes me feel (And about how I feel right now but keeping it inside) and at the same time just the opposite. Great work.

E-gads, you have such talent with emotions. It's almost unfeasible - lol. Top job! :3

Really good job. :) You caught the emotion perfectly.

Channeling emotions through music is probably one of the best ways to create something in art :)

Wonderful piece...
Now feeling terrible envy to anyone who will have the original :). Even if the author decides to keep it.

Superb piece, Kacey. There's the Agony... now to wait for the Ecstasy.

The grief here, as well as that exact expression, is something I have come to know a lot lately. You have an amazing ability to capture emotions. Well done!

Very excellent job! You've really done a great job capturing the emotion. I'm a fan of Billy Joel, but I've never heard of that song. I'll have to look it up.

The impact of the picture is intensified to me because you never really know whether the agony is due to physical or emotional pain. It causes you to wonder about which the snow leopard is feeling and that, in turn, makes you thing about the physical or emotional pain in your own life. It also make you ask the question, "Which was truly worse?"

A truly haunting picture.

wow my god this image captures that feeling of just wanting to let the pain out in a river of tears..... did you wanna cry while making this piece of butiful yet sad artwork?

It was actually kindof painful.. but in a good way - if that makes any sense.

so it was like releasing some emotional pain that was in you on to the picture? if not like that can you try to explain to me what you mean a little more?

I guess it was like stress relief...

i can understad that yet what would have stressed you out so mu.... wait you might have had some stress from finishing and starting commissions that i bet are for paying air fare and food at the next con coming up right or is that next con over with now?

I don't even want to know what's causing that much pain. It really comes across, though. Absolutely stunning.

Heavy, heavy stuff.

The best stories often have the most pain. Great work.

Very emotional.. and fits my own mood al little too close for comfort.
Instant favorite

Very powerful KC... and am I the only poster here who has noticed this snow leopard looks a little bit like your friend the snolf? She just went through this exact emotion... when her sunshine died... I cant help it, I saw this piece, and even with the title, my first reaction was that it was for her, and of her. Very well captured at any rate Kacey... you are truly one of the top artists in the fandom.

you know, I thought of that too - but it wasn't where the inspiration came from... But who knows what the subconscious mind draws from =)

Yea... sometimes surprises ya don't it?

I'm with ya on this one, Leo--the coincidence is uncanny.

awww i wanna hug him/her nice pic kacey

I see deep pain from the heart. The kind that makes you cry so deeply, and yet doesn't leave. You want to hold them close and yet though you feel all of your energy drain into them, but it does nothing to stop the tearing in their soul, until you hurt as they do just hugging wishing it would heal.

Absolutely touching!

*smiles* Suits the song well, I think.

Billy Joel <3

caputring emotions from music is difficult and you did well it easier to capture the emotions when your around another expericing it directly in both words and form.

Amazing work, just.. Amazing.

I've felt like that, just wanted to howl through the tears.. This captures that feeling perfectly, and so much more.

*Faved*

the first thing i thought of was how i need to schedule a dentist appointment

A most excellent facial expression and rendering of the fur. Very animated. I love it. ^\/^.

When I saw this one.. I felt the pain. he/she seemed to be feeling extreme loss.. like someone had died.

love it. Great job, you nailed it

Wow, emotional and brilliant

Great job

Very powerful. Well done.

aww, give the kitty a hug! it needs one. great art

"There's nothing else I can do 'cause I'm doing it all for Leyna!"
nice choice of music! I used to have Glass Houses on cassette but it broke a long time ago. I miss that tape.
I can feel all the sadness and frustration in this peice that make up such a breakdown. The monochrome and blotchy background as if the world is losing it colour and definition. The fact that the leopard is shaking even. Very well executed.

I am constantly in awe at how good you are at you're art, and you've bought out the emotion in this piece really well.

You definatly get the emotion across, Very well done ^.=.^

Poor snow leopard.You clearly shows us the emotion by a Billy Joel's song(a good song).But I wonder what it suffers.I hope he'll(or she'll) recover from his grief.

Beautiful job as always

Very powerful. I've experienced that sort of agony, the kind where you just can't cry hard enough to expel the sadness that consumes you. I never want to feel that sort of thing again but I know it's inevitable.

so beautifully done. i love this ^_^

wow. This one leaves me breathless. What happened to the creature...? The background is subtle but very nice. makes me think of ice sheets.

The anguish in this piece is palpable. It's hard to decide if the pain is physical or emotional (or both...?), but I agree this piece is very well done.

excellent

Fantastic conveyance of emotion.

wow! I love this picture! =D

"All for Leyna" is an AWESOME SONG.

That said, this is also a pretty powerful image. Kudos on being a great artist, as usual!

Very much how I've been feeling lately. Just been a mess of trying to figuring out who I am and out and understanding what it is i really want.
Lovely work K...

Mmm... this one struck a chord in me. It makes me think of how I'd feel if I lost the one person I loved most in the world. Incredible expressionism here....

Absolutely breathtaking... Perfect job in capturing the despair inside this picture and portraying it on his face...

The first thing that came to mind when seeing this picture is the emotional tragedy TaniDaReal must have endured when losing her cat, Ashati.

very awesome

pth agony

Incredibly powerful image.
I haven't heard the song in question, but that is quite an emotional response, truly well captured.
