Description
....make a whole.To make a rainbow, there is the rain, associated with doom and gloom, and the sunshine, associated with happiness and joy. These two things put together, make the beauty that is a rainbow, the same way they make us. We're all beautiful, despite these two contrasting sides. We're all beautiful.
I must admit, I'm feeling rather happy at coming up with something so deep.
=natalienoodles will probably recognise this from when she saw my old sketchbooks. The one from about two years ago, in fact. So this isn't something new. Well, it was formerly in pastels, but here you have it in vexel glory.
Enjoy.Done in: Adobe Photoshop CS3

*snaps fingers* now that's deep, man.
Funny, I get happy when it rains... and when it's super sunny, sometimes I get a little depressed.
Don't ask why.

I'm a deep person.
Heh, I'm like that too sometimes actually. Especially if I'm stuck inside. Rain can be soothing.
Thank youuu

This. is. stunning. So simple, yet so colorful! Maybe you could add something like a sun, because rainbows need sun? Words cannot even describe how great this is. I never knew something so simple could be, so,.....amazing!!

Thank you, I'm flattered.
Nay. Adding an actual sun would ruin the entire concept and meaning behind this piece. It'd also spoil the composition. D: The background is full of sunrays, so a sun us not needed in the umage. Even though its filled with sunrays, theres still darkness. Because despite being how polluted and damaged the world is, and despite the amount of sins people have committed, the sun still shines on the world, no matter how blackened with our abuse it gets and people can still smile, despite the torment other people are suffering, because its all they can do. Clouds come and go, but the streets are still dirty whether we can see that or not. The sins remain. But many people will still live in the world and smile, and give the world colour. Someone will always smile and stay positive on a cloudy day, even if its just one person. Maybe that sounds a but daft. But something simple can have a lot of meaning.

It said you requested it as a print? If you want a print, if you tell me the size you want, I can get it done cheaper than buying it through dA. =]
I've been better, I took a big step yesterday and went out for a class at college and I hated it, I'm feeling really bad about it and I'm exhausted and annoyed with lots of other feelings rolled in to it. I'm going to blog about it when I'm feeling better, its a bit of a long story. *sigh* How about you hun?

(: That really is a nice description you have. I like the way you worded it. And it's really cool how you combined the rainbow and the cloud. It looks very modern. ^^

I honestly can't say anything very useful on this, but it is really compelling... and, I agree, reading the artist comments pulls everything together

This is one of those times when the artists' comments really help to put some perspective into your work. I will never look at a rainbow the same way, now that I've read this reflection of yours
I'm only curious about the black/white proportion. There is much more black than white in this vexel, why?

Aww, thats sweet. Its genuinely how I think and feel, and its what I believe in 100%
Because despite being how polluted and damaged the world is, and despite the amount of sins people have committed, the sun still shines on the world, no matter how blackened with our abuse it gets and people can still smile, despite the torment other people are suffering, because its all they can do. Clouds come and go, but the streets are still dirty. That probably sounds a bit silly how I make something deep out of something common.

Not at all: it's actually fascinating to know the story behind what it appears to be a simple work
Yes... "No matter how deep the darkness, a light shines within."

It does. There are often many treasures thrown out with the rubbish, but there are still many left, they're not all gone, not yet.
