Blood Birds

This picture was difficult for me in both technical and emotional ways; the idea itself appeared in my head after one of my very close friends was kicked out of her house by her parents and had to move to another city. I felt so wretched and sad because of the whole situation and my unability to help, and I missed my friend badly (I still do). I felt like I needed to let out all this feelings so I started to draw. During the process, I broke up with the person, who I’d been with for quite a while, and this struck me hard, too.

There were some complications in the technical part of the picture, too. It took much longer than I expected because I had to redraw it twice since my computer and then my software crashed. Also, I tried, for the first time in my life, to make a relatively complicated and detailed background with architectural pieces, that I had never drawn before.

Now I feel a bit easier, and my friend got settled in to a new place rather well, so I have my reasons to believe that everything is going to be ok.
