Description
Here is another inspirational piece that I decided to do because of several reasons.Throughout my life there has been continuous pain...
Whether it be inflicted upon me mentally, physically or spiritually,
the woman in the picture is how I feel inside each and everyday.
Someone scratching at the surface, wanting to get out.
Wanting to scream at the top of your lungs, but yet no one hears you.
I could go on about my life story, but this piece is to represent all the sufferings inside everyone.
We all have something that we shoulder, some burden to carry, or something driving us to the edge.
She is the representation of our inner selves, about how we truly feel.
Whether it's someone crying their heart out all the time, someone reaching out for help, or someone screaming;
we each have an inner self begging to come out.
Meet Keiko, my inner self. She was also depicted in this other picture I did:
I hope to do more inspirational pieces like this in the future with Keiko.
Thank you all for everything; friends and enemies alike.
You all made me who I am today.

Thank you for the critique and the commentary. There is still a lot I have to learn, but I'm glad I was able to execute this well. Having her feeling the emotional pain and being vulnerable like that, I feel, is where most people get to at some point in their lives.
You're also very welcome. I hope to share more Keiko in the future.

Where to begin with this piece.
The expression is heart-rendering; it is far too easy to tell she is in so much agony and is almost desperate for a way to feel comfort of any sort. Her body language is perfect for her emotions, and the coloring is simply amazing.
I personally love how it almost seems that shadows are trying to wrap around her whole form and drown her in that hopeless darkness.
That being said, I would have personally liked to see a few more brow furrows, possibly narrower eyes. But other than that, it's perfect.
This piece can reach literally anyone. I have felt this everyday through my life, and several others as well. In a dark, painful way, it is a reminder that even in our pain, we are never alone.

Well, what can I say about Keiko? It is immensely clear that she is a distraught girl, her emotive facial expression and body language is clear, in fact, it's 100% clear, that she is in anguish.
I think the story behind Keiko, being your own self or self-conscience, is saddening and touches my heart. As well as this, there is such great depth of quality and detail that has gone into creating her.
The main reason why this touched me is because I feel the same inside, it makes my feel less alone to know someone else feels such inner pain.
All-in-all, a beautiful piece, an emotive response from the audience, and the fact that I personally can relate to your perspective all contribute to my five-stars-all-round rating

This piece is amazing. The dark colours, the facial expressions, the raw emotion portrayed in this picture, it takes me back. Just by looking at this, I'm filled with sorrow, like she's real. You've done such an amazing job with this. The detailing is so accurate and the darkness surrounding her adds so much impact to this picture, like she's being drowned by it :c
I especially love the facial expression on her though. I wish I could just jump into the picture and try to cheer her up, she's too cute to be upset T^T
Good job, Ruu, this is beautiful ^^

Ruu this is just what I wanted to see. I know this is a critic but I am relate to this soo well ATM. I've been feeling like this exactly the last few days and I honestly feel like if I scream no one can hear me and I'll always be in darkness and the pain is never ending. It's horrible and i hate the feeling but this is amazing.
I really love how you can see her emotion in the way her pose is drawn, her facial expression of the screaming and tears just makes the impact very real. The background being black just adds more to this, I see keiko being in a dark void that she can't get out of and everyone who has felt this type of pain can relate immensely to this.
Well done my dear, your lil pain series is just eye opening and I hope to see more and more because what you portray in your art/series it's real. It's very real!! Great job!!

The emotions behind this are conveyed beyond simple words. Watching the process of this coming to life was quite an experience as it always is. However, with this particular piece, as with her prequel, the emotions of the artist are obviously in the details.
The presentation of Keiko is dynamic and dark providing just the right amount of back drop to keep enhance, rather than hinder the message you were trying (and successfully did) convey. The pose is believable and body language used is expressed perfectly - the anguish that has built up coming out in this moment of 'why.' It's always why.... why are things like this? why did it happen? In this, it's an all encompassing why.
Good job with this, Ruu. You have captured the broken/struggling spirit well.

I know how you feel... I have two sides of myself that do the same thing I push both back though since I don't like them...

It's just a representational piece. Nothing more.
Sometimes I feel like this and others times I don't.

I can relate to this. I feel sadness and pain everyday. Yet I hide it behind a smile. I know how it feels to be literally dying inside. This is beautiful. Great Job

Thank you very much.
I feel this way a lot too.
It was nice to share the frustrations of an inner self sometimes.
That's why paper is my friend.

I can relate myself to Keiko. My middle school years were a dark time of my life. Everyday was filled with abuse, neglect and bullying. Some days I thought I couldn't last and life was miserable for me. Thank goodness those years are long gone. I discovered my inner light and life has been significantly more pleasant on my end.
Wonderful work like always <3

I know this has been repeatedly mentioned, but i really like the emotions in this picture x3
All your keiko pictures are very emotional and it can be related to many people's situation, even if they don't say it on the outside xD
Lovely work once again c: <3

Thank you my dear.
I appreciate the personal insight in this.
I feel that this piece does speak volumes.

they say pain will make you grow stronger. (or something like that)
there is also quite some pain i carry with me. i'm still young(24) but i certainly didnt have it easy in the life i've led up till now and it sure brought me pain and painful memories.
wether it made me strong i'm not sure i do feel like having a strong person but also i feel broken.
the outer me does'nt show the emotions deep inside, doesnt ask for pity or help, but well its of course a facade.
well what i want to say is that i can understand what you mean with this pic and that you are not the only one
π: 0 β©: 1
That's so odd how you put that because that is the exact likeness of the me today.
You act all strong on the outside, but inside it's just all a mess.

Utterly beautiful piece, Ruu. The emotion in Keiko's expression is very well done and, I know that I can feel it from just looking at this piece.
Strong words as well in your artist comment; and I'm excited to see the next piece featuring Keiko.
π: 0 β©: 1
That means a lot to me.
I'm glad I was able to express something through my art.
It is even more impressive that others can feel it.
I hope that I can keep making pieces like this.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sure you'll be making plenty more in time and when the time calls for it <3

No problem Ruu! Thanks for making this piece! It's quite emotional like a fan manga I'm gonna do soon.

A fan manga? Sounds like a plan to me.

Very interesting concept, besides the great work you made with the expression of her face, the desperate on her eyes,the tears look so real,it has a very deep message; I identify with this picture, because many times I have felt so,that desperate, that sadness. This is a true piece of art, I look forward to see more like this in the future.
Congratulations Ruu.

I thank you for the comment.
I honestly appreciate it.
And I hope that Keiko and I will keep creating pictures like this.
Although someone mentioned I should do a more light picture next time.
