Redirect to original
Description
It's been awhile since I've created original work. A very personal piece to me too. I had this concept at the back of my head, just didn't get the chance to finish it until now.Drought.... For artists, it's a horrible feeling when the act of creativity is suddenly halted, whether by depression or some other force. The mind runs dry, squeezing out whatever it can. The Creator, meanwhile, can only stare at her dying world. Time keeps on ticking and nothing feels bright anymore. Her Crown of Creativity suddenly becomes her torture device.
Blegh. Yea, it's in uncomfortable and dark subject lol, so I'll shut up now.

Beautiful! And a very familiar feeling... I'd wish I'd look this pretty being the artist in distress though... At least it helps thinking of myself, or rather my mind, as being trapped in this dark, but on the other hand eerily beautiful world (with a cute caterpillar...).

aaah..such a familiar feeling. I feel like I'm in stage 4 drought for the past few years. maybe I just wasn't meant to do this. There's a few ideas, but it's more like being halted by lack of skill and it's hard to build it when you hate everything that you can manage to pump out from the ground. just a piece I relate to way too much.

Beautiful piece. I love how personal it feels, don't really know how or why...
Yes, that is certainly one uncomfortable subject, but also a very important one for all kinds of artists. And you made a gorgeous piece out of it - that's something to be proud of!

Hm... I've heard it said that we're a bit like trees. Creativity blooms, and bears fruit, and then is barren for a time... And then sure enough, after a while, it blooms again. So don't despair. It will return with time. ^_^

This is really amazing and I'm glad you explained what it meant to you; I feel like it's going to relate to a lot of people. I wish I had more words to comment eloquently on it ... it's just such a powerful picture to look at it.

This. is. BEAUTIFUL! >< You're amazing!... (That happened to me this year as well. I feel so empty right now, too. Keep up with this good work! I hope you won't feel depressed anymore.)

Thank you. Been staring at this for so long, I need a break from it lol. (Yea, I got a convention this week and feel so blue that I have only 2 new pieces to show, including this one.
Still, at least I got this one done in time lol.)

You're welcome! There's always bad and good times in an artist's life as well. Don't feel blue! The people will understand your situation. (I'm looking forward to your new pieces! )
