Love isn't about feeling someones skin next to yours. Love isn't about getting that diamond ring in the window. Love isn't about feeling like that one person will do anything for you. It's about knowing that you will do anything for them.
To me, love is about feeling completely safe with that one person. Love is about acting like a kid again and not being afraid to show your true colors. It's about how the world becomes a symphony every time you see him smile.
FULL VIEW IS A MUST Art is meant to be seen!
Inspired by the renowned illustrator, Christian Ward and the song "the first day of my life" by Bright eyes. [link] This is for a contest.
This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized that I need you And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life. I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy."
So if you wanna be with me With these things there's no telling We'll just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time it's different I mean I really think you like me
Critique: (please read before offering critique) this is a style imitation of Christian Ward, so please keep to the point of this illustration when critiquing this piece. Failure to critique in a responsible fashion may result in you being banned from commenting my artworks.
I have had one two many people not reading my critique section and not understanding what I'm trying to achieve and completly discarding the purpose of certain illustrations. Yes, I know there are things wrong with it, yes, I would LIKE you to tell me when something looks out, but that dose not mean I want you to say "I don't like the gradients, they look like crap" when gradients is something that Christian Ward includes in every artwork he dose! If I didn't include typical techniques and styles of the artist it wouldn't be an imitation, now, would it?
To be honest, when people ignore these things (yes, even when I directly inform them of the purpose of the artwork because they don't want to spend 30 seconds reading about it) it just gives me the feeling that they would rather be a bitch and go off-topic then to actually provide some form constructive criticism.
I don't have a problem with critique, in fact I love it when people sit back and really look at my artwork to find flaws, it gives me a warm bubbling feeling knowing that they take me seriously and have gone to all that trouble.
picky ass artists here in Cali always tell me that they think true artists "only" have one style, and loyally stick to it, and to it only.
And of course i disagree with those assholes, an artist, i believe, is one who can span from style to style and continue to be comfortable. I mean I'm sure there are wonderful artists who can stick to one style, of course, but i wouldn't say that only "true" artists do that, ya?
regardless, wends, this is awesome. You seem to jump around into different styles, but unlike most people you land gracefully~
<3
Ooo excellent darling. i think you've done well. yours is much mroe colourful though. I believe thats probably your own personality going into it though.
I think it's beautiful, the gradients, the etchingness. Although maybe the anchor on the guy's neck looks a bit strange of perspective... but otherwise this is amazing.

The poem and art strike a deep chord within me, how strange that this should come across my latest deviants right after my fiance' ended our four year run because of deep wounds within himself he needs to heal. Meeting him was like the 'The first day of my life' but now it has changed and I have to learn how to live again. Sorry for sort of spilling my emotions out there, just thought I'd be somewhat informative of why I favorited this piece and enjoy it though it pains me. Keep up the wonderful inspiring art!
I love that you try different styles, I find myself doing the same all the time. <3<3 Excellent work Wendy Id have to say that this is my favorite of yours works so far. <3
awesome <3
I love this style, and i feel really comfortable doing it, it just feels natural to do it, which is a nice change from my other imitations xD
i'm defiantly going to do more like this, they are funky.

First off, i should probally mention that I didn't write the poem, it's from this song: [link] just about every time i hear it it makes my eyes watery D
I'm sorry to hear that you too are no longer together, but i'm sure you will find someone else to share your life with, just give it time to heal. I don't mind you spilling out your emotions, i'm actually glad that someone can relate to one of my artworks, it dosn't happen much but when it dose it motivates me to keep it up.
