World caves in

World caves in

i sit alone in painful times as I seem to in all times, I sit and look upon the world and wonder why..........why.........why is it the world is driven by narcacissm, hubris and the ever increasing need for instant self gratification, a world of beauty transformed into a gamorrean garden of visceral excess. All depth left for dead, love sits forgotten weeping tears of diamonds as the world is consumed by cheap lust, when did we stop caring when did people just become things to be used and thrown into the mud as they move to the next and the next and the next. Why is it so quiet now, why is it so empty, why is it so cold. When did it become stupid to have morality and standards and self control, when did love become a word to be thrown around as just some empty sentiment, when did sorry lose meaning, when did words become just words.

he sits upon the earth frozen to the touch but warm deep within, he looks upon the people and weeps that they shall never see or feel what real love is, he dreams of things that will never be because the world grows dark around him, his heart so big it was thought unbreakable people had cut it, times had aged it, people had crushed it beneath heavy boots, but he stood back up again and again denying the fall he could see, but then he saw what we had become, what everything was, is and shall be, and his mighty heart broke in two, now he sits invisible to all holding within his hands the pieces of a once great and beautiful heart.

Re: World caves in

Well self fullfilling prophecy to me suggests blame, and I have taken enough pain and blame and all manner of abuses over my life to accept more blame than I already suffer guilt for, I have fought to eradicate parts I can over time, but some things cut way to deep, and I have tried therapists and psychiatrists and such but to me the thought of paying someone to care is a created self delusion would be like paying someone to be a friend or love or for that matter any kind of prostitution.

Some things taken, destroyed, decimated can not be returned. and amazingly enough after so much more than anyone really knows, I still will not turn people away, I will not spit venom at people I will not hate and I continue I stand my ever shakey ground where even a single word can break me down but I will not fall, I will not let go, I may of never had anything of worth or ever will at least my version of worth which differs a lot from most, but I will not (morbid deleted)

Your drawing is amazing @Redraw 😊

I have been looking up a lot of watercolour tattoo images in recent months .... not so interested in the older style ones, but the new tattoo work is stunning and has certainly elevated the art form ....

I mention this because your drawing would translate into tattoo designs very easily ....

I am experimenting a bit with the style, and have transferred it into textile artwork too.

Re: World caves in

Not the first time I have heard my drawings and tattoos used together, but I do draw a lot of characters, creatures and fantastical things, though I have drawn more natural things to but in the end I guess I see more in things to add based on what I see, whether it be angel wings, fire, horns, a horse becomes a unicorn a unicorn has flaming hooves, tail and mane, and sitting atop a woman naked seen only from the back with wings of bone and spider web, a woman could become an angel a demon, a mermaid any number of things.

You have that wonderful ability to create fantasy imagery @Redraw. One of my sons has that, an I think one of my daughters too, only she tends to draw life objects with a fantasy feel rather than extending on the theme the way you just described ....

My style is realism, but I take the edge off because I like a painting to be a painting, not a photograph .... but I do like serious Impressionism, and colour makes my heart sing .... passionate, glorious colour tones.

Well I like to draw I can create people whether real people or constructed and give them back stories, and they can't take from me they can't betray or hurt me, they can have a heart which I have not seen in this world

Re: World caves in

Have you considered producing visual novels @Redraw ? It's quite a gift you have.

Re: World caves in

Stories I have characters I have, I mean I have dreams but when I wake I need to finish them, I would say I have at least three stories in my mind one involves the character I drew and 4 other main protagonists, one involves the undead, and I have many more characters I need to put more down on paper so at least they can be seen, as for writing i can write stuff but I also tend to get bogged down in detail and that just crapifies it.

oh and I dont think I am any good

Re: World caves in

Was watching firefly again as this particular part seemed to resonate quite strongly, perhaps a few might know the details surrounding this line but I think it should make sense I may add it to my other little page too.

"You know uh, you know how you get... scared, or, or worried or nervous when you don't want to be scared or worried or nervous; you push it to the back of your mind, you try not to think about it. Your amygdala is what lets you do that, it's like a, a filter in your brain that keeps your feelings in check... She feels *everything*, she can't not."
