Interesting how her tear is still distinguishable in the water.

I see that you have an instagram, and if you feel up to it its might be good to upload some of your digital art on there. The art community is very welcoming and a good place to share amazing art such as yours. Plus it would be good way to get your art out there. Just a suggestion! Beautiful piece btw.

Just out of curiosity because I don't know much about how commissions work, since the client paid for this drawing, how come you can upload it online? I'm not criticising, I'm genuinely curious. I mean, the client paid and we get it for free? Or did they receive a super high definition version which they can print and place on a huge wall or something?

They receive a version with higher pixel count (e.g. 1000 vs 2000 px). If they request I don't post, I won't post. Thanks for asking! Hope that helps : )

Most artist post commissioned work. Commissions often are not about who gets to see it but the commissioner tells the artist WHAT to draw and they will draw it . It's usually not about seeing "Unseened art" but paying a artist to draw what YOU have in your head.

As an artist for 35 years I would like to say that I love the originality of this artwork. The facial expression is of peace and not of fright yet.. sad to be going.
I would love to see what you can paint for happiness, and let me give you 2 thumbs up for the water effect. Beautiful.

i dont know, way to many of your pictures are negative it is as if you'd be saying just how sad you are in every single one 

if the message of your picks don't change 
and repeat themselves for about 20 times. Essentially, the themes of your pictures wouldnt amount to be much smarter then any street corner niggah making raps about weed and whores.  

I just want to say, i've been getting sick of people that only specialize in 1 thing and don't make anything else. ( suicide, sad life, etc) I may sound ignorant, but i simply find these things to be wasted potential and time. All of your art has been so downcast lately

yume-88 In reply to Zurku [2016-09-08 06:39:53 +0000 UTC]

I think it's not on you to decide what is a waste of time and potential and what is not. Art means freedom. Some people paint to express what they feel, same as there are people who write poetry or sing for the same reason. If someone feels down, let him/her paint about it, or write, or sing. And if it means that this persons paints 20 suicides or stilllifes or pink unicorns in a row: well, feel the painting and the message, think about it or simply ignore it. But don't judge people for feeling how they feel and DON'T call their (AMAZING!) work a WASTE of time just because you don't like it. It's just not true. Im my opinion, it's a waste of time if an artist paints shit that he doesnt even like, just to avoid being perceived as a weirdo. Or to be liked by others. 

If you think that other themes are more interessting, why don't you just look for that instead of blaming an artist for painting what he paints?

Art is about the artist. Not what the viewers like. A critique is supposed to help reach the artists goal, not what you want. 
Unless your a artist yourself it may be hard to understand //

1) This was a commission.

2) I have mental issues.

3) Have you not seen my art lately? One on a throat kink, one on a biology/psychology debate, one on alcoholism, one on studying computer science. The only one blatantly pointing to suicide has been "Glitter and Rope" as of recent.

Shut the fuck up Zurku. I'm tired of your fucking sensitivities.

allright allright i guess that I am simply frustrated because i think you can do better, you are right, your pictures hold messages. I simply wasn't intrigued by the latest.

Not everyone can just simply specialize in other categories of art. Some people like to stick to certain themes than others, whether that is just naturally or temporarily. Some people even stick to the same subject than a theme. And art doesn't necessary have rules. Every artist is different   Those are my thoughts anyways
