Commission: Yorkindayla
"What they see. What they don’t.
It’s undeniable that we all wear a second face when dealing with the outside world. Mine just happens to be a defense mechanism, or so my therapist claims. The strange thing was that this used to be my real face, I never had to wear a second persona around my friends. I was always the goodball, cracking jokes, being the optimist. But then something…changed inside of my head. Nobody except my family knows the truth of my condition, it’s best they only see the goofball they all know. There's no reason to trouble them with the truth. You’d assume at first glace that it’s depression. But you have no idea how easier that would’ve made my life."

yorkindayla of his small narrative story with his characters. Its a very touching story and I think that people can defiantly believe it or connect with it in some way or another.

You know, out of all the artists on FA, I don't know if anyone uses their backgrounds as brilliantly as you do. This is nothing short of genius-- in the image above, the background is solid white, clean and pure, framed by attractive tree branches. It's organized, tidy and comfortable.
In the image below, the wall is smeared and spattered. Disorganized spots scatter the background, and every element is cut off in some way-- the mirror, the sink, the towel rack. On one side of the character is nothing but ambiguous noise. On the other is the hint of organization with the tiles-- but the lines are broken and unfinished, so that even where you want there to be order, there is none. This is textbook contrast, and another example of just how stunning your work is. Amazing job.

down the road, not across the street- WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!! Sorry! But srsly, why the arms? it'll be summer and he'll need to wear long sleeves
On another note,check out the film "The Secretary". The main girl has similar issues; apparently it's like... she has all this inner pain and cutting herself is kind of relieving since it brings the pain to the surface and gives it a tangible physical form. On top of that there's a satisfaction in seeing the wound heal, as though the original pain behind it is being healed even though that's not the case. Very interesting movie. thankfully she finds other ways of expelling the pain through strong sensations and expression, but I won't spoil it. It does, however, give a little more lighthearted and easily fixed resolution but hey.
