Description
"As I walk through the streets of my new city, my back feeling much better, I supposeI reclaimed the use of my imagination; for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me.
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly, I'm lost. On my street. On my block...
Why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real
I can see all the tree tops turning red,
The beggars near bodegas grin and me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, and tell myself to breathe... and be calm.
Be calm; I know you feel like you were breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
...
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm."
fun. - Be Calm
I'm quite happy with the way this came out~ c:
Feedback is much appreciated

I'm no pro myself, but I do have a couple pointers. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="
(Big Grin)"/> You see where you placed the moon in the sky? On that note, most of your shadows are reversed as the moon is your light source. The parts of him that should be lit up have shadows and vice-versa. Except for the ones you have coming off under the crest, those fit with the moon placement. My suggestion is just reverse your shadow scheme or move the moon out and create the illusion it's shining on him from behind his left shoulder and in turn flopping the shadows under the crest around as well.
e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a… " width="15" height="15" alt="
" title="Aww"/> Then again, maybe there's already some super bright light behind him and the moon doesn't matter lol.
As far as the grass, someone below suggested it may be too flat, which it is. You chose an interesting texture certainly which makes it look... very freshly cut or something, y'know? But just like they said, I'd just maybe some random blades around him or something to make him look like he's actually sitting in it and not on green asphalt.
I think that you conveyed the emotion of sadness and perhaps desperation quite well here. If someone were to give him a thought bubble, it'd look like he's thinking "What have I done...?" or "What's wrong with me?". It's very gripping for your audience to imagine to themselves what happened to make the character feel this way if they don't already know/understand the song you placed with it.
This is again a very good and emotional piece. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

Thank you so much! <33
Yeahh, I have a habit of flipping the image a lot to check for mistake, so my light source is constantly discombobulated. lD;
Hmm, yeah. I'm really bad at backgrounds, haha xD; I should find a better texture... or some skill fff
Thank you that's the emotion I was going for. ;v; I really appreciate the critique!

this is very detailed, i love the way you made the colors look in the moonlight and darkness. the grass looks a little weird though, i suggest roughing up the edges. the inside is fine, it just looks flat. Other than that everything is wonderful.

Nng, Mr. Fantastic-Arm-Bands, dun cry. Your adorableness makes crying super contagious among us viewers.
I really love the shading here, especially with Ren's pants. Your amazing signature is making me jelly. cX>
