"Sometimes, you can feel as though you're number one - crowned, and on top of the world. Suddenly, moments later, your depression hits you hard, and you completely fall apart as your crown shatters into pieces.

This is a piece that I had been wanting to commission for a long time, but I was hesitant to do so for various reasons. Finally, I took a brave step forward and spent a few hours writing down every emotion and feeling I wanted to be depicted in it, along with descriptions for each one. In the end, this piece contains depictions of depression, being trapped and unable to move forward, anxiety, panic attacks, being scared to try new things, ADHD, getting overwhelmed, autism, feeling like I don't fit in, worry, emotional emptiness, loneliness, being forgotten, emotional neglect, and trauma. Most of the time, I'm fine. But on the days when my crown shatters and my depression hits me the worst, this piece shows what I go through, and what many others do as well behind closed doors, away from life's problems.

Let this piece be a reminder to you that it's okay to open up to someone you trust. You are not alone. You are loved.

I am not alone.

I am loved."

a commission for a client that shall remain anonymous, of their oc going through a lot of emotions, as the overall piece embodies the anguish and the small description i was given perfectly encapsulate the composition and the chaos surrounding the character.
a very interesting and out of the ordinary commission but a welcome one at that, depicting something that represents more gritty and harsh feelings was quite the refreshing change of pace for what i'm used to draw. i thank of course the commissioner for enthrusting to me the making of such a powerful and personal art piece.
