Been there and done that. I REALLY empathize with ya, Kitten! The pain of life motivates me to do art filled with violence, anger and depressing images. I never lose sight of hope, though. Maybe I'm a dreamer, or starry eyed optimist--but it keeps me going. The light figure against the grimy background is strong stuff. She shows the taint of contact with the pain of that world, but she is still apart from it. She seems reflective--not consumed. Resolved--not beaten. Seems like your subconscious is speaking volumes, that you might not know. There is much more to you than just the pain of life. The inner fire burns like a volcano ready to blow. Channel that into your art, and you can set the world on fire!

I think your image is amazing love the tones expressing through art is a really good way of letting go hope you feel better soon hugs lou x

Awesome image! Sometime it's best to express yourself through your art, I do it all the time, I find the best work comes from emotions. ;0) Heztia

VERY NICE! I love this!

PERFECT!!!!!!!!

the color harshness and the contrast is so fitting to this image. This has Vision. Imagination. Craetivity. and Excellence VICE

Oh, very nice. Yes, expressing ones emotions through art, well...is Art, really. And you've done that really well here.

I love it. It's original.

Very atmospheric, good job and hope you feel better lighter hearted soon!

I love this ... anything by samildanach is good and your composition really shows her work off brilliantly.

Excellent work. Very creative... Bravo:-)

Fantastic dark image!

one can feel her pain it hurts

My art has been therapy for me for the past year or so too, so no worries. Everybody needs an outlet. This is a very expressive image. Big hugs from me, Louise! - Matt

Very cool work!

Magnificent render of a character I've not seen before Lou. :)

I love this rusty look much and I also can say that it is an excellent render!!

Great gothic!

I agree, if you put what you are feeling into an image,no matter what is happening, there is no comparison! And thats what makes the best art.I can relate, i feel like this sometimes, and you did a perfect job at capturing this mood....i love it.

Brilliant work Lou, I love the character you used too, the painted smile on the sad face and the pose/body language says volumes. You have a knack for expressing yourself with poser :nod:

Belle création!!!!BRAVO

great render love the sepia effect

A fantastic made image!!!!! Very dark but also very detailed!!! Excellent work, Louise!!! Hugs Ute

Very well done!!

interestingly harsh light. i love how pale she is and how dark the wall is. she's isolated even from the dark scene around her. all your elements are very complimentary in form and aesthetic. great emotive work.

You've had your share of hard knocks. Hope things settle down soon. You sure deserve some smooth sailing.

Incredible image!!! Love the pose, character and colors!! Everything fits perfectly!! Fav :)

Instrument of pain? You haven't heard me play guitar, have you? :) Anyhow, it's a great image and I applaud you for using Poser for portraying more than NVIT. Any image, however created, which has real emotions is a good image. Nice work.

I have to agree in each point with Joelgaine. Excellent strong and very painful image. full of emotions. Great work.

Awesome image!
