Description
People talk about love like it's so fantastic, but sometimes it just makes you fall out of touch with the rest of life and leaves you isolated and lost.Sorry this drawing is so messy and meager! I haven't finished something in ages, gotta get my shit together augh

I love the colours! The birds are fabulous and his expression just makes me want to pick him up and give him a big hug (although sometimes that's just not enough..-siiigh-).

But you're right, I doubt it'd do much. He's a pretty messed up dude heh.

Oh man, I really like this version! The line-version is great, but the part with the glowly green bits on the crow really looks amazin'
The addition of t'background is another neat aspect, and I really love how the branch-shadows fall upon the guy's face.
I know this is a serious piece, but I can't help but worry that the birdsd are gonna poo on 'im. =<

I like the green, almost acid-like look of the raven's mouths and eyes, and how forlorn look of the man.

A depressing concept, but a lovely piece of artwork.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'Maybe we should just be friends' or 'How very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love.

I absolutely love the composition you've made with the placement of the birds.

I love the colors and expressive line work but the message touches home a bit. Falling out of love with someone is such a horrible thing but it's something we all have to experience.
We never truly know another person, the only thing we can have is faith. It's tough finding that person to put faith in again but I've never given up.

I think this looks great. Love is confusing and tricky business. One minute you're on top of the world and the next you're down in gutter.
