Slightly different tweak. I was mainly just trying out my new gradients based on sunset photos. My apartment's terrace is facing west, so I spent many afternoons there during summer and I took a lot of sunset pictures. So this is really a mixed media piece. I may release the gradient set to DA but so far I made about 5 gradients, which is not quite enough to justify uploading the set yet
There's stuff I need to talk about but not yet. I'm in a in-between place right now, which fills me with a lot of doubt. I need things to end, to be over, cut-off and over for good. My self-confidence is usually pretty solid but these days it fluctuates and I tend to fall back on bad coping habits like seeking validation outside. I over-think, scrutinize every detail in every conversation, looking for clues that I am not wanted. Inevitably, there are always clues confirming my bias - totally made up and nonsensical of course. I hope my friends can bear with my less stable self right now. I wish I had the iron will to crush all my doubts. I can crush them in work, in my art but I can't crush them when it comes to people.
Thank you for all favourites, comments, critiques and devwatches! It means a lot to me.

This is stunning and beautiful ! This is almost hypnotizing, too, feel like I could spend hours watching it... Very well done !!
Also, I wish you very good luck and strength with your current doubts and feelings. I kind of feel the same thing sometimes, a kind of awkwardness about anything coming from nowhere but going away when I draw and so I can understand you. It's not easy to talk about it, especially when having the feeling that no one can ever understand it, and so I think you're brave to manage to do so. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone dealing with that, and wish you the best and may your artist's skills help you to be ok in everyday life ^^
