Description
This thing happened to me this morning: I've been a little stressed and tired, so I had a little accident involving me bumping into the car in front of me. My fault entirely. No damaged to the cars or people, just a little scratch on the bumper of the car in front of me. I'm thinking "OMG!! but thank goodness it was only a light bump, no one got hurt!" Then the woman got out of the car, and started shouting abuse at me. "What the f do you think you're doing! What the f is wrong with you!! blah blah.. f**k this, f**k that, f**k you!" and I am standing there close to tears repeated saying "I'm sorry, it was my mistake, no excuse.. so sorry.. "Then it got me thinking.. Why are we so abusive towards people who made a mistake, have done something wrong, even if they're remorseful? When we are a victim, does it give us right to be abusive and nasty?
It makes me feel sad..

lovely, but you have my sympathies for your accident :*( /hug

Can I please just hug you? Not for the amazing picture, not because I think you need comfort for what you told us happened to you.
But just because, yes. I understand that. And whenever something like this happens to me, not only do I react the same way, I always feel entirely alone with that reaction. And that, to me, is even worse.
Now you're here. With this amazing picture, which I think represents the feeling in a very good way. And is so well done and looks so beautiful. And with this comment so full of compassion and empathy.
Can I just hug you for that, please...?

So beautiful and very sad. I love the contrasting blue and red.
and I'm very sorry about what you went through today; you didn't deserve that. i feel like others take advantage of people's mistakes, as it gives them an excuse to put people down and build themselves up.

You're right there.. it is human nature wanting to put oneself above others. The challenge is to rise above that, I suppose.
Thank you for your comment.

Oh, this is beautiful and I think it illustrates your point perfectly.
I love how the red and blue contrast together, but both still look like blood. Amazing painting, very well done!
(Sorry to hear about your accident though. Hope you feel better about it by now!)

I am feeling a lot better now.
It actually started being all red, and then I changed some into blue, representing his true nature "bleeding through".. I am glad you liked it!

Not only is this amazingly well done, but the emotion is so strong and palpable in this image. Just breathtaking!

Oh my goodness, you poor thing *Clambers through the internet to give you a very long, very tight and completely all encompassing cuddle*
I'm very glad you're not hurt, but I am so, so sorry that you were treated in that way after what have been a nasty shock, people can be so cruel
The painting itself though, is absolutely stunning. A beautiful way to translate unpleasant feelings... But as much as I enjoy it, I do wish it hadn't come into being that way

awwww... thank you darling
I try to channel as much emotions as I can into my paintings (hard to do for commissions) and it really is a good way to get over negative feelings, and also helps me become a better artist too.
I am glad you enjoyed this painting.. makes me feel happy reading comments like yours.

You're very welcome, sweetie

No, it doesn't give us the right to be nasty even as victims. It only propagates the violence and abuse. Then again, she may have reacted like this out of sheer shock; adrenaline causes such things sometimes to more emotive people.
I like how you used blue and red for the colors leaking on Loki's face. Thor's colors. Very suggestive!

Yes whatever caused her reaction, I am sure she had her reasons. I am feeling ok about it now, specially after venting it out onto the drawing..
Oohh.. i didn't actually think about Red representing Thor, but I can see it that way too.

I'm sorry she reacted so harshly. Maybe that car meant a lot to her, I don't know, I just wish she could have handled it better. Hope you are alright. You did create a beautiful picture through this experience *hug*

Thank you. I am sure she had her reasons to act like that too.. it was just unfortunate thing to have happened, and I think I channelel my feeelings into the right direction - LOKI FEELS can cure a lot.
Anyway, I am all right, and feeling a lot better now.

this is beautiful, and you are completely right about your opinion. people tend to be mean without thinking, and they arent even aware what damage it can do in others

Yes.. I would like to think that, perhaps I am giving out a good message through my shitty experience..

This piece alone is so beautiful, and agh, your description. What you say is very true. Though it may not seem like it, I'm often in a very depressed state. It makes me even more sad to encounter people like that, with such anger. But there are often many things influencing a person that we do not see, and many are broken inside. I'm so sorry you had to get yelled at Slugette!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Through the whole encounter, I felt so small, and a little scared. I didn't know that I could be that fragile, but really I just can't handle people who are angry.
Also, You're right about many people being broken inside... what a sad world we're living in... but I would like to think positive.. and think that people can get better, and we can actually make the world better by one person at a time.

I'm sorry Slugette 
I'm glad you can think positively despite challenges (: The world needs more people like you!

Awww.. back to you too!
I try my best to avoid conficts in life, but sometimes things like this just happen.. I guess I'll just have to learn to be a bit stronger emotionally.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I try to avoid them too. I'm only confrontational if there are serious unresolved issues going on, and I want to talk them out and figure out how to fix them. Other than that, I've always been one to stay away from drama and conflict.
Dont give up that softness and kindness though! Becoming hard emotionally is not fun. I think the world can be sad because so many of us feel we have to be strong and not show weakness. People become bitter sometimes. We need people like you to restore our faith in the world ^^

People are just assholes. It makes me sad too, but there's nothing you can do apart from rise above it. You have no choice. Please don't be sad, you'll make me sad. ♥

sorry you had a shitting day, good that you turned it into something constructive and beautiful. this is emotive, and i love how it almost has a native feeling

Yeah I often use art as sort of an "escape" when I am feeling shitty. I remember this one time, I was crying so much that I couldn't see what I was drawing..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use to and I use to find strength through my art but I havent had alot of time to do stuff for myself lately or from a place of passion, besides the basic passion for art... but not a place of personal emotional therapy, it can be so helpful. <3

I can totally understand that.. When I became a mom, I kinda lost myself for a long time.. my son was such a bad sleeper for the first year that I felt like a zombie most of the time.. don't remember much of those times now.. but I remember feeling that I don't have any private emotions, or passion other than love for my little one and looking after him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think its very important to lose yourself at some point in your life, and care more about someone else... but yeah, some of the best art I've done was when I was using it as an outlet. emotion is free inspiration, now emotion is postponed for when there's time. and there's no time right now lol.

amen to that.
it looks like you're doing your best with little time you have there

only a very intelligent mind can see such insight in everyday events and only a very talented artist can channel that insight into a work of art.
