Description
This took a long time, but I'm really happy with it anyways!To be completely honest, this is a vent art I did for one of my sketchbook projects for art class this semester. Is it weird to draw vent art during class? Well, it's just that I've been in emotional turmoil for the past month, and it's been a very very very hard battle, but I've broken through that wall at the moment. I'm doing okay right now c:
My dad is the heart of the problem, which is a rather ironic statement because it's truly his heart that's the problem. He has a rare disease called sarcoidosis, and he's already had a couple heart difribluations in the last couple years and it just seems to be spiraling into this big pit of despair. I feel quite hopeless in all of the whole thing because it's like I just have to watch him die in front of me, but not even that because my family is in the middle of a divorce and I don't live with him...
Hence this picture.
I was going to give it to him to literally drop a hint to him that I feel like I'm wilting as I watch him die. I don't want him to suffer. I want him to understand that he is dying. That he should care less about cars and money and more about his family. Me.
But then during art class someone spilt iced tea on it and now I'm super upset that I can't give it to him... I wanna get a professional to crop the stain out (a stain that you can't see on this picture because I cropped it out digitally). Yeah.
Anyways, sorry for the super long emo ramble! I hope you like this picture!
Random character is nobody's.
All art is mine.
Please don't steal this, and if you do, you're a butt. A big, stinky, ugly butt.

I can really feel the emotional content of this picture, which is something to really admire in a piece of art. Very nicely done, and I really hope that your dad can pull through his medical problems. In any case, I'm sure he would appreciate you talking to him about how worried you are even if the iced tea had other ideas for this drawing.

Kaalie, I'm truly sorry about your dad and everything you're going through. Even though I don't have art class,I know that it is quite normal. I used to do it, though for reasons that were probably stupid because I can't remember them... :/
Anyway, the picture is beautiful Kaal and I hope your dad can pull through, even though I know that there isn't a known "cure". Has he tried getting to a physician who specializes in the disease? D:
I'm always here for you, Natalie, even if we do live thousands of miles away from each other

Thank you so much Bookie <33 I hope he can pull through too [': So far, he's just taking drugs that help weaken the symptoms and add some year to him, and he does have a pacemaker in him now since of all the scares 
I'm always here for you too Brooke!

Ahh my grandpa has a pacemaker, too. I got the doctor to explain the surgery to me last year when my grandma and I took him to get it and he made it sound like a very fast(45 minutes, I think), simple surgery. I think with a dead artificial pacemaker, they just have to replace the battery but I'm not sure >_> I'm not a doctor LOL. Whoa they can't? D: Jeez, I hope they can give him like.. Morphine or something to make him numb or else that will hurt like hell. At least he's taking medicine.
Always, Natalie<3333

I wasn't there when my dad was having surgery partly because of the divorce and I wouldn't wanna make my mom feel super awkward by sitting there waiting for him, but I'm not sure how fast it is~ I hope it is a fast surgery because my dad was completely conscious during the surgery D: He said it was super scary and hurt very very much :/ I'm quite sure I woulda passed out if I saw someone cut my ribcage open and stick their hand into my chest and organs ._. And he wants to get this fancy new pacemaker that's coming out soon or something, latest model sorta thing so he wants to go and replace the older one he has, even though it would last him the rest of his life I'm sure >_< I hope my dad becomes one of those people who come out of it victorious too C:

Oh wow...this is beautiful, first off. Secondly, I just want to say I'm terribly sorry about your father's health issues...my own father is going through some health problems of his own as well, and I know how hard it is to be able to do nothing more than sit by and watch...It really is heartbreaking. I'm happy for you that you're feeling better though, I hope things turn out alright for you.

Thank you~! It is hard to watch isn't it? It's very comforting to know that I'm not alone in this

Actually, it is normal to vent art during class. I do it, my friends do it, and from what I read in descriptions other DA artists do it to. And whether you end up drawing some scrap doodle or a masterpiece it can sometimes let your emotions flow out instead of having them bottle up inside.
No sugar-coating it, that sucks. I wish I could sympathize with you, but I can't pretend I know how you're feeling. My dad has had two heart attacks before but I was too young to even remember them. But to lose a parent, even if you don't live with him, that's just.... I don't know how to put it into words. If this is truly the end for him, the most we can hope is for him to be in as little pain as possible.
And this is just from my point of view but, you should show it to your dad anyway. The stain doesn't even seem to be on the picture, but I'm sure he'd love it.
Eh, I'm not very good with words, but I hope what I said helps.

Good points~
It does suck, and even though you may not know what it's like to be in my shoes, I'm comforted to know that you care anyways <3 I don't believe he's in much pain at all, but when he did have his first heart fribulation, he told me that it was probably the most painful thing ever. And I also know that when he got surgery to have a pacemaker put in, it hurt excruciatingly because they could use anesthetics on him because of his condition. But either way, thank you for your words! <3
I think I will end up giving it to him~ And for the record, I cropped the stain out during the scan so you can't see it here ehehe
Thank you so much for everything~!

Of course I care. I'm an emotional person, though I sometimes hide it. It hurts to see a friend sad or in pain, and I always try to comfort them in some way or make them smile.
That, sounds painful. But at least he's not feeling it right now, I think.
No problem. I'm kind of awkward with words but I'm glad I was able to help C:
