Description Something heavy is pulling me down. I look to my feet but I can't see anything, yet I feel uneasy. The more I sink, the harder it gets to see. Darkness slowly swallows me whole. It's getting hard to breathe. Sometimes, for a brief period, the weight on my shoulders vanishes, allowing me to float back to surface. I take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy my freedom before I'm pulled back down. This freedom I so eagerly seek is but a tease, an illusion. I feed on the little moments of joy that I'm allowed as if my life depends on it. Oh, but it does. So I continue to fight this weight pulling me down, before I sink any further and lose myself.


Is this the so-called life?

Maybe not life in general....but it seems to be that way for many, many people....how did you get that underwater effect? For example the wavy clear lines on the skin...

Sadly yes, at least everyone has (or will) experience this feeling at least once in their lives For the wavy lines I looked up a watery texture and pasted it on a new layer (clipped to the skin layer) and set it at very low opacity. And then made another layer and drew over the lines here and there to make it stand out a bit more (again at low opacity)

It's sad that it happens for sure. I know some people say having these feelings helps one appreciate the good times (when it doesn't happen that often), but I admit I dunno how I feel about that....Ah, thanks for the info . I wonder if they have clipping mask/layer in Krita...I'll check later...
