Description Who hasn't had one of those days? Where everything just seems to want to keep you down, the sky is constantly grey and it feels like there's a stone weighing down you heart? The good news is that it'll pass. Unfortunately, this doesn't make the pain any easier.

I wish I could take credit for the pose, but it's based on a strong and touching photo of the same name, sadness, by the Bosnian artist Šejla Kamerić. [link]

After doing some art related to a Šejla Kamerić's piece, I looked for her name on deviant Art archieves to see her relevance and, besides mine, I found one: yours.

Amazing picture. The shading on the skin is great. What kind of markers do you use?

lol, Elila draws pointy heels.

Thank you! I used CG for this, otherwise I'd never get it as smooth and brigth!

Sadly Elila can not draw feet!

QTZephyr In reply to elila [2008-10-16 06:42:41 +0000 UTC]

Feet are easy, hands are hard. I was torn between CG and markers, but it looked a lot like a marker coloured pic you did for me.

He he, I think both hands and feet are horrible to draw!

...You have no idea how much this hit home.

Anyway! I love this. Absolute love this. She's so beautiful, even looking so sad and depressed and vunerable.

I think a lot of people feel this way way too often. I'm happy you think she looks beautiful even in sadness, I was hoping for that!

I've felt like that several times throughout these past two recent months, mostly from stress. This is beautiful though.

That was basically my whole week last week, lol. But you're right-it does pass. Selenity looks absolutely lovely, heartbroken and lonely, but lovely nonetheless. Wonderful job!

This is Selenity (the younger, actually), but I guess the situation could apply to all of them, the poor things!
