Description This picture has such a history.

It started out happy. It was a nice drawing. I sketched it out on the happiest day of my life so far. I was so incredibly ecstatic I just thought, hey. I'm going to draw :]

I finished it on the worst day of my life.
That's why she's not leaning like she should be if she was just shot.

Honestly, I hate this picture. I really do. It's terrible.

"Hide Your Feathers" is a line from a song that will now always have a place with me. It both helped me and made things worse. "Feathers" by Coheed and Cambria. This verse, especially:
No other, would wait for a lover.
To embrace, boy, when there's no more room for love,
You'll sell her off to the sharks

:)

So....just on a whim....I'm gonna go with this being associated w/ some affair of the heart... ....don't worry...I'm in my own weird boat right now in that respect...so...hope *you're feeling better anyway....as for me....well.... ________ . =/ Anywho, this is a really nice emotional piece...I like the style that you've been showing over time, it's very distinct, and it does have that nice artistic look to it -you can see strokes and all, whereas I'm a little to hellbent on smudgesmudgesmudge. And as someone above said, the needle thin line piercing through is very dramatic, and the pose is fantabulous ...I gotta work on more dynamic poses and such. So --->

I've had this sitting in my inbox for awhile trying to think of what to say on it.
But I can't think of anything.
One this is clear though, I'm amazed every time I see it.

Your shading is improving nicely. I really like how the paws have real dimension.

Wow. I\'m at a loss of words...A happy picture turned into this? D8 So sad...

Don\'t hate the picture though, it really is good! Very emotional. It leaves a great impact on the viewer. \'Twas what you were going for right? Well it was achieved. The pose really is great too. Like she happily jumped up, at a bad timing. :/
The hair on the tail is also extremely good. And the eye..it just peers into your soul and makes you so sad. :\'[
Great work!

Wow~
I sensed a lot of emotion from this even before I read the description! o:
It's hard to describe, but it's really proven how much a bunch of pixels can mean a tremendous lot, or tell a story.
XD
Beautiful!

I'm with =jack07 here... what a depressing tale behind this picture. It's a real pity when a picture starts out so cheerful, then ends up being one of grief. I hope that whatever happened doesn't plague you emotionally.

The picture is quite lovely, though. It has a nice sketchy look to it without being too rough, and your color choices are simply marvelous. And the needle line going straight through her heart... that's great stuff right there: simple but effective. Your emotional art is always top-notch, mate, keep it up. c:

I've been running around doing stuff constantly, keeping my mind occupied. Whenever I just hang around, or like when I'm trying to go to sleep, I think way too much. Saturday night I finally had to put some screamo music on at 2am because I couldn't stop...

Thanks so much, Ribbons. :) For the fav, too~

Oh yes, that's great. A busy mind doesn't have time to think of depressing things, mm? Just uh... keep that up. I hope you feel better soon, dude. <3

Ah, no problem, by the way. It was my pleasure~
