Daboo on :
You're beautiful!
p.s. If you still want to convey vulnerability, I would suggest a different color of dress.

THAT's the sound of an art dump if there's only one piece to put down.
Anway, the one I posted is my next Valentine's Week theme (What a Girl Wants) picture.. I'm not sure I like how it turned out. Originally, the girl was just in her underwear which was supposed to make her look vulnerable; the wish this girl has is to be told she's beautiful. She's got a lot of insecurity issues (don't we all?) and every girl just wants to hear it sometimes.. Then Ladybug saw it and said 'what, you're drawing soft core porn now?' And I said 'It's not porn!' and she said 'Would you show that picture to Jesus?' and I said, quite honestly, 'Yes.' because I think Jesus would understand what I was trying to say with the picture and not think I was drawing porn. Nevertheless, it occurred to me that while this picture *means* something to me, the message may or may not be clear or it may not mean anything to anyone else even if the message is clear. And while I would not be ashamed to show this picture to Jesus, my mom would be ashamed to admit her daughter had drawn it (apparently). *So I put a dress on the girl.* Also? Not sure I like the background texture. Bleugh. Trackbacks

The Mad Giggler on :
I've always considered your artwork NSFW if that makes you feel better.
Ladybug on :
Let's put this in context, please! My comment to Wren came after SHE had asked me if I'd be watching "24" if Jesus was in the room!
Daboo on :
lol, well would you?!
Ladybug on :
And I am quite touched by this picture - I think it achingly conveys vulnerability and sadness. Good one, Wren.
Ladybug on :
No. I am now through watching "24".
Wren on :
NSFW?
Wren on :
But everyone knows that pastel pink is the color of pure evil!
So what color would you suggest? ^_^ Daboo on :
WHAT?!?! Forever? You love that show!
Radar on :
NSFW = Not Safe For Work
Ancient of Days on :
Good drawing Wren!
Honestly, I think you could have focused the "lens" so that all we see is the tip of her (bare) left shoulder and her face, and you could have communicated the same feeling without having to deal with whether or not she was dressed outside the view of the "lens". Daboo on :
A pale color, I dunno. Maybe lace or something.
The Mad Giggler on :
Way to stir up controversy. I don't think an article has had this many comments in ages.
Wren on :
That doesn't make me feel better at all!! What is wrong with my arts?!
Wren on :
*points* Scars.
