Did you ever finish the story for Sleepy Lake? I was very invested when I first read it.

“When the demon that's inside you is ready to begiiiiin~

And it feels like it's a battle that you will never wiiiiin~

When you're aching for the fiiiiiire and begging for your siiiiin~

When there's nothing left insiiiiiiide,

THERE’S STILL A REASON TO FIIIIIIIGHHHT~” 🎵

Such an awesome and kickass song.

Hugh tightly I know the pain trust me

Depends on what kind of demons of sad, they are.
Not everyone's health is perfect, but you need to find the strength within yourself to cope with your illness and just... live on.
Don't give up, Iskra. No matter what happens, you have to go through this, for yourself and your future.

RUS:

Зависит от того, какие это демоны печали.
Здоровье не у всех идеальное, но нужно найти в себе силы справиться с болезнью и просто... жить дальше.

Не сдавайся, Искра. Что бы ни случилось, тебе придется это пережить, ради себя и своего будущего.

Fight!

i have trust in you to be strong and your capacity to sucess hard moments. courage

I'd give you a hug if I could
beautiful work, and I wish you the best! :3

I adore Selena.

Damn, I felt the same way today. Hella anxious and depressed. and what doesn't help is the insane traffic in my city (Waukegan) when I have to go to see my psych

What a powerful piece! The emotions are overwhelming and so clear.
The fact that you can title this as “A Reason to Fight“ speaks volumes that the inner demon doesn’t have the upper hand.
This piece is such a contrast with Selena dancing in the rain. Very profound.
I have seen these demons cast away for good with the help of Jesus, but it isn’t easy.

All the best, hang in there! 🤍

I wish I could put my feelings into art, whenever I feel sad I loose motivation to draw.

I really love this style of lines and rendering even compared to your usual more 3D stuff.
This just feels so striking~
I also have a major health condition that makes life much harder, it's really tough sometimes.
I hope you can let yourself rest when needed. <3

Go on ya! Fuck those demons!

aweee, need all the patpat and huggies.

Klingon therapist: "the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat."

I keep coming back to this piece and pondering the emotions that are here.

Iskra, It is so important to be able to express these emotions that usually can't really be put into words, but can be through works.

Although I'm not a visual artist and don't have that outlet, I am a musician, and can express the emotions in art that can't be put into words. That outlet is so so very important.
The deep sadness, the quiet contemplation, the longing, the joy, and pure exuberance don't really have enough words. Expressing them through art is part of beauty of being human.

Endure.

I totally understand how you're able to feel when it comes to dealing with personal health issues, since they can make anyone feel unhappy, but it's always important to never stop being yourself, and I still find your furry artwork to be quite attractive and comforting every time I'm able to check it out.
