    In my opinion, this says like 'life is like a game but you only have 1 chance to play' and I love all the small details in this piece, like how it says 'loser' on her top and the blood trickling down from her arm. I like how you put a sad but still peaceful expression on her face, it almost looks like she's asleep.
    Your style is beautiful and your pieces are so meaningful and creative, I aspire to be like you one day ^_^

    This'll sound weird, but I like how her drawings are depressing and meaningful ya know? It's like so cool but sad at the same time. It's also really good and artistic, I loved it!

      I see what you mean, depressing in a way that it also flows smoothly with the meaning behind it.

    I'm gonna admit it...I love these pictures...and I think I get the story, basically, life is just like a game, but you have one life...you can waist it instantly, use it wisely...or be a total noob....

    Hi guys! While I have your attention could I ask for your opinion on something?
    As we all know I post very rarely... Like... Super rarely... But that is because big projects like these take a very long time to make. Not necessarily creating it, but the inspiration for it. But this is not the only kind of artwork I create.
    So what I was wondering is if you guys would be interested in seeing some other kinds of art from me? Or perhaps other types of videos like Q&A's and "tutorials"? I am genuinely curious!

      I have to say I absolutely love your art, and I would LOVE to see more art from you, but I understand you have a life and it takes time, so do what you want! I'd like to see even smaller artworks from you, though

    • @aimeel.2503

    @brightsidenight 8 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    When it was just the lineart of her sleeping I was like "aw everyone needs a peaceful pinkamena in their life"
    Then I saw the tears and blood come in and honestly I don't know why I like it even more that way

    • @phantasmakoyno2101
      @phantasmakoyno2101 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, everyone enjoys are in different ways. The addition of tears and blood makes it more meaningful, you know?

    I still remember the day you posted this. My grandfather had died of Cancer just two days prior and I was feeling pretty upset because I had also been very ill (just diagnosed with Lupis and associated organ-failure). One of the last lucid things he said to me before he had to onto opioids was "I'll pray for your health above my own,"

  • @carsonmonroe6348

    a lot of the viewers here must not have seen your other videos huh? heh.. but hey, if anything is going wrong in your life remember you have all of your fans here who love and care about you..you're one of the biggest inspirations to me and i'm curtain others too.. so if you ever need anyone we're all here.. and hey.. my friends tell me this a lot when things start getting to me.. "Everything gets better.. just wait you'll see." it might not seem like things will but they will, one day

    Can you do a tutorial on how you do the shading? It's marvelous how you do it!

    • @phantasmakoyno2101
      @phantasmakoyno2101 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It seems very complicated, but I strongly agree! A break-down of the process of shading would make it much easier to understand how this artist shades!

  • @kittyplaysdraws6912

    This is my life,
    I feel ashamed because of the choices I make, and often with I could restart
    My parents think lowly of me because of my dreary and depressing personality
    They don't like my hobbies or aspirations
    But I've learned to keep hope, I talked to my parents about it and it really helped
    This picture represent how I felt and still feel
    But at least I feel better
    If you have the same problem please tell who ever is bothering you, they will most likely understand and help you feel better

      ... sorry it's just I have that kind of depression. And my dad doesn't help much either..

    • @ineedhelpp2799
      @ineedhelpp2799 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What if the person you have issues with is yourself? What if everyday you feel like complete crap that doesn’t deserve anything better than a punch in the stomach? So much to the fact where you don’t know if it’s even worth going through life anymore? Thinking about the end so much that your not scared of death and you welcome it like a friend, not being able to see past the next couple of months. Not wanting to be judged by people for how you feel so much that you put on a mask; a hollow smile. A hollow smile that shows everyone that your “OK” but knowing deep down that your a piece of crap that deserves the rope. You always hesitate at first... but on the second attempt you are empty....

    This was an amazing show of talent.
    From the second I realised what this was about, it had an immediate 'Game Over' feel to it. You've captured the feeling of that - the finality of the final game over - incredibly well. It's people like you who inspire me to improve my art every day.

  • @hotvampiregirl2

      I'd actually love to see your artwork! Everyone learns and draws in different ways, so you cannot say your not good at drawing! Perhaps you just need more time? Regardless, keep practicing, even if you're already as good as xXIDeathHoundIXx!

  • @Vampire1683
    @Vampire1683 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a very powerful message because now these days mostly every kid and teen takes video games seriously to where if they lose they feel like a "loser" and that they can't get better so each time they do lose its like getting cut because it's what they want to do and they take it too seriously to where some might kill themselves or others because of it I'm trying to teach my nephew that a game is just a game it's ok to lose because as long as if you have fun is the most important part of the game and I lose a lot in games but I just have fun playing it I just hope there can be more people out there that would see games as fun and not a "you must be the best". Love your artwork it's very realistic and very animated at the same time. :)

      thats not weird, I cried too. not just because it's sad how many people to through depression and such, but also I got flashbacks of the past when I saw for the first time my friend was self harming. it's sad to think about that a lot of people all over the world go through this. Oh and sorry if this comment made you sad in any way ^^;
