Pacific Wind (Perfect music for this piece)
This is... Wow, this is just monumental for me. It's not something I do everyday, usually I just do some half-ass worked picture. No, this one I really put a lot of effort into. It's got a story in it to, and I didn't realize what I'd done by creating this until after I'd finished it. This has so many emotions of mine wrapped up into it, I'm going to try my best to explain it, but it's going to be hard. I'm crying as it is, forget about typing. ;o; As a lot of you know, or may not know, 3 years ago my mother was killed. Before that, my Grandfather died. I never got a childhood, really. Just a few precious years that I can barely remember. I've always wanted my mother back. In this picture, Oceans, a sweet and charming, but little bubble-headed, girl has been turned into a mother, suddenly and without warning, but she can't help but love the little baby she created, just as Ocean's father, the Sea-King, does, and cradles both his daughter and granddaughter, carefully, in his embrace of the oceans, the waves. Oceans is based off my mother. I didn't realize this until now, but she is. In a way, I am Thalassa. I never wanted to loose my mom, and I never thought the world could hurt us, especially the world. It's everything you can expect in one moment. Love between a daughter and her mother, worry that this mother can't give everything to her daughter, lies about their forms (in reality both Oceans and Thala have 4 hooves), and momentary peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That being said, I just have one thing to say to someone who I hope will look at this picture. Ashley, in all honesty, we both know we were wrong. And, I'm sticking by what I said. Your apology really does mean nothing. What I really, truely, want you to understand is what I've gone through. I don't think you can possibly take it all in, not until you've experienced it. I get the idea you've got this image in your head of a manga world, where a Prince-Charming will catch you before you fall down the stairs, or will chase the bad dreams away. But, me and you, we're almost adults. You can't have this image of a perfect, sheltered world because that's not what life is! If you have that image, I'm scared that you will get hurt when you become an adult and have to go out by yourself. So, until you can come to me and say you understand how I feel, and what I've been through, nothing will have changed. And, I'll know if you're being honest or not. Comments
I can't get over how gorgeous this is! Seriously. You're getting amazingly good with lineless works and so fast too considering this is only your second piece!
Oceans and Thalassa are just so, so beautiful and gah...look at that background. This whole piece makes me feel so serene. Great job. <3 -- Commission me please?! 8D [link] ~*~*~ Icon is by the wondeful *Diikae Click the dragons pleeeasse. <3 [link] This is so....beautiful.
