Description "When love was bound together,
Believed it by the letter,
It closed my eyes for ever,
Cos everything has changed and now…

I ain't gonna look the other way,
After all the clouds go by,
It's just another empty sky,
I ain't gonna wait to see the rain,
Nothing's gonna make it right,
Look at me cos i choose life..."
Keisha White - I Choose Life

Yay, it is finally finished!(Actually it was already but I could only post now due to my forced hiatus) I really like how it turned out, though it was really hard and time-consuming to work with every detail on it and make it look like I wanted to

For this painting, I wanted to follow your instructions and do something colorful without being rainbow:> I tried my hand at darker colors and used some watercolors and such to see the effect ...And I don't know what else to say about it, but I'm pretty satisfied with it. I hope you'll like, too.

Lineart sweetness in the air... belongs to *sureya

Miss-Heart In reply to VelCake [2011-08-23 01:16:33 +0000 UTC]

BUT HAI.
Just got way too caught up in RL and some personal drama that I don't know if I want to bring on the webz and I didn't really visit dA anymore. This summer was pretty much a break from.. everything, really. I did nothing besides some soul searching and it was kind of ok. I'm cool, not dead yeeeetttt
Got to an astonishing number of unchecked deviations and journals and was just trying to catch up with things,finally. heh. I'm glad someone actually noticed my absence.
seeing that you had gotten a DD was totally THE BOMB

VelCake In reply to Miss-Heart [2011-08-23 01:47:34 +0000 UTC]

HAI.
I see. fair enough I guess. I am probably the only one who never takes breaks from dA. XD
seems you are fine then. <3 we should talk on msn. I am going to sleep now but imma poke you tomorrow.<3

I can understand that. Happens a lot with me, specially since I watch several hundreds of people so any absence makes my inbox exxplode with messages
Of course I noticed your absence. >.> you may be a lurker but I always know when you are around

Yeah! That was such a surprise. I never thought I would get one like this...just one day I wake up and BOOM! A DD.

k.
checking old DD's... and... ummm... what I see? sorry my dear, but you totally didn't deserve for it. really. you have DD because you are popular suggester. ("omg! gewn-something suggested my art! I will suggest her work!) even lineart not belongs to you. only coloring. and very poor coloring. copic markers wasted... how sad. yeah I'm sure you still think you are great artist. nope. but nobody will say that, because OMFG EVERYONE LOVE that sweet gwendo-something. because of many suggestions. btw- very poor suggestions. you don't have taste and I think that most of your suggestions are just piece of shit.most DD's are very weak now. I think it's because of you. only professionals should suggest works, not stupid little girls, who have just submitted silly coloring and boom! have dd. because-of-popularity.
and great, unseen artist are still unseen. idiot.

I can't believe you wasted five minutes of your life writing such senseless and ridiculous comment, because you know very well anything of what you said is based on something or even true.
Get a life, go fuck someone or have a night out with your friends, it'll help you.

Don't worry dear.

Really? which is the other one? I want to see!
They are, and you deserve that. Your linearts are truly beautiful

Thank you!<3 But you can believe, it is traditional! and about the time, that's my average time. I'm veeery slow to color

You're welcome, and thanks for making such beautiful lineart
