these are the words, that describe my pain.

Oh my God! My God this can't be happening! God tell me, tell me this isn't real! i can't believe all that I have foreseen is finally happening. I cannot for a single second stand the way I feel. I always knew. I always saw it coming. Enveloped now, encased by my worst fear. I've never felt the nausea of longing to feel nothing, I never wanted to cease to exist, just disappear. Fear memories are all that lie ahead. Never have I felt so lost. Memories dull my senses. Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead. Never have I felt so dead. Once felt so warm, no I'm fu**ing freezing. I am the once embraced abandoned one. I raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing; no relief was mine, I was burnt, by the sun.

AFI's words not mine, but they say it all.

Hermchen - the silkiness and flow in the angel's wings and hair is wonderfully graceful! Just looking at it gives off such a cooling sensation. That, and the expression of his face (I assume it's a depiction of you), seems make me feel as though you've learnt something from this bad experience. It's like sure it hurt, but you've come out wiser, more confident about yourself and more aware about your identity.

Maybe I've read into it a little too much, but that's my first reaction when i saw this. Fantastic work, man. In 3 hours, that's just mindblowing.

Oblio loves you.
If you want me to send some "nice guys" over.. just post me a note. I don't recomend it but... if it helps in any way... (even that it doesnt)... she'll not be able to do it again.
4 cabs, 40 ninja sabres... 12 minutes in the air.. she'll never touch the ground - just like an angel... :rolleyes:
Wait... hate = no good. But i remember when you started this... Ah crap - 40 ninja brushes will do much better!
Thank you for this post! Always count on Oblio!

[Hermchen]

thanks for all the kind replies

Oblio Well, I can't hate him for that, yet :) We are still friends. Nothing went wrong. It's all ok now. It's just that sudden loneliness. I am feeling like this angel close to hell falling. But my wings are still in skies, so don't worry. I know there will be another angel with ninjafriends someday :P

Highfive Except of the face beeing a deciption of mine you are damn right. In fact the face might have some likeness to mine because I did a lot of selfportraits the last months. I think the eyes could be mine. And I would love to have that black long silkiness in my hair, but they are short, blond and matt :D

iwasink I hope your dad will live long so you can share his mind as long as possible.
Loosing parents is connected with very very deep burden indeed. Your painting shows that feeling very pure.
I haven't lost my parents yet, but I am aware that someday it has to happen and I have good friends, who lost at least father or mother. I saw them suffer and I saw them regain full lust for life knowing they have lost a level of safety but gained freedom in many ways. They concentrated on this freedom and got way wiser. :fish:

losing love is hard, belive me I know a thing or two about it. but now you have the oppourtunity to find it agian, love is like water, it takes many forms, and never seem to stay in the same place and form for very long, but without it there is no life,
thank you for sharing such a personal experience and art with us. I am so pleased to see you take your experience and translate your feelings into art. you have the options to let these things destroy you or you can use them as oppourtunities to grow stronger, I see you have chosen wisely.
for the time being my best advice would be to concentrate on yourself and your art. solitude can be a beautifull thing.

Strange? The devil is the part i like most! Ok, i've got a weakness for creatures and monsters :)

Nice painty style, Hermchen!

[miasmak]

nothing I say will make you feel better, but it looks like you are coping anyway. Hope it doesn't last too long.

I love the expression of the guy with his back to the devil.

the first one is pretty cool for no reference, the neck may be a bit thin and the shoulders a bit wierd. the texture of the wings is great too. contrasts well with the mood.

[Hermchen]

Here is one for Fozzy. Ok, I know it has been drawn a thousand times, but not by me...everyone should draw a mummy :)

Oh, cool!

The light and smoke area is well done! Very atmospheric...a mummy speedpaint-thread...that's an idea, eh?
