my heart is bound in chains

Description
Because love is something that can tie you in knots and chain you to one person at the same time. It's just one of those things that I'm incapable of understanding because I haven't experienced the true meaning of the word yet. So I'm chained until it flies free.---

Edit: Thank you to everyone for looking at this deviation. The Daily Deviation is seriously overwhelming and I'm... well, I'm honoured. Thank you so much, ^nighty and everyone.
This image is open to many interpretations, but mine goes a little along the lines of this:
Copied from one of my replies below:
I can't wear my emotions on my face -- I've never been in love, so I can't know how to experience it, I need someone or something to yank on my chain to let the heart that's chained down fly free. Love, to me, is more than the love that you feel for people, for your family, for your friends... it's an emotion that is both simple and complex. You can think you love someone, but not really know what it feels like to love. That sounds like a contradiction in itself, but, to me, it rings true... that's how I perceive it. I can't reach the full potential of my emotions until I've broken free of what's holding me down.
Dedicated to my little cousin who is being christened today. May she be able to fly free.

Yeah, I made a few modifications to it -- just a little more texture, a text change and some colours added in. Thanks, Car.

I always really liked the image- especially the chain... but something about the colors always threw me before.
I really love the modifications.

This is an amazing piece of art! It looks so alive, even if something made out of metal (chain) is a part of the importance of this image. You've done very well.

When something that looks inanimate looks animate at the end, my job is done. You know how it is, a chain can mean a barrier, oppression, discrimination or something simply being pushed down or suppressed... and for a chain to be broken, that means the boundaries are broken too. Without boundaries, there's no telling what the limits of something is... and that's how I relate it to love. If there's no boundaries, who knows where it ends? Or even if it does end?
Thanks for commenting.

That's an amazing concept, and it all came together really well. Nice job.

Thank you so much. The concept is one that's held dear to me and to see it come to fruition was like watching something fly away. You work so hard on it and then it's all done and you can do nothing more than put it out there.

Hehe, the font is something that I, too, feel can be worked on. I'll give it a whirl the next time I dig the PSD for this out of my computer. It's in there somewhere.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

I love the bright colors and chain. It's... I dunno, maybe I just like the orange cause I'm a pyro. XD It's all shiny and gropable. Complex yet neat and tidy.
I think I shall sic a cookie on it and see the results...

How constructive.
Kari, I understand you are attempting new styles, but I really think you should stick to this style.

I realise that the typo probably isn't the best suited to the image, but thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it and will be sure to be careful about the way I use text in the future.

way to take the high road regarding videa's dickhead "typo" comment above! also, just for reference, inspiration, etc..., you might want to check out damnengine's work to view various ways to implement type in a complimentary fashion.
btw, congrats on your DD!

Thanks for the tip. I'll head on over there to sort something out -- and hopefully learn something in the process. Thank you!

If you treat others as you want to be treated, generally they'll treat you with the same respect. My parents drummed that into me as I was growing up and it's stayed with me.
