So...here's the question....was it a monster who came along and tore her wings or was it she who in her pain harmed herself to deal?? I'll let you guess....^_^

To take the wings of a feary is to brake her from the inside-out,

Never to fly free, never to laugh, never to taste true happiness again,

Broken to the core

I agree with the others, you make a sad picture with minimum effort to maximum effect. Great job in doing so!

:-) Lydia stephanie Barker replies: "Thank you so very much John, that means a lot!!!"

that is so sad - very blunt - i think she tore the wings from her body, because wings are saved for angels and saints....and she betrayed them, betrayed herself, by doing something wicked and sinful - she loved a man, and the heart cannot be given to any but God - she was burning, dying from the pain in her heart, knowing she had Fallen - she had no other choice, understand, there was no other way....destroy or be destoryed...turns out you have to desotry yourself to save yourself.....

sorry about that...i think i got carried away there....

:-) Lydia stephanie Barker replies: "no..please...get carried away...you have wonderful insight and comments. i love when people come and put real thought into a persons art and when they share there interpretation and thoughts of it. i think that there is often more to a piece of art than most think. several different views and perspectives. art is not always cut and dry. there is depth and layers of feelings/emotions/meanings.
there, now you are not the only one that got carried away.11111 hehe...."

she didn’t really harm herself on purpose.. she was lying there like that all the way, shocking inside, shaking and beating her own mind, and her heart was, crying, washing away in the direction of her wings. The awfull, mental, feeling of pain tearing through her heart continued streaming right through her flesh and wings, extreem violently. It left the edges of her wings with such strength and sick barbes, they ’derooded’, almost discolated a little, and the top parts were ripped off.. this feeling kept flowing through her, the waves of sickness crashing into.. or, out of, her wings.. finally it came out.. but she doesn’t feel any better, does she? it only made room for consiousness. She’s aware of the sadness now she lost the sick madness ^^
beautifull pic

:-) Lydia stephanie Barker replies: "i really love it when people can look at an emotion drawn picture and see deep into it. it’s always interesting to hear of others sight into my pictures. thank you very much for all of the lovey comments. i hope that you have a wonderful day/evening. 18"

you know what if my theory was true she would’ve had her hand in hair not on her shoulder.. because she’d be desperate, and it’d be just after she went crazy, I’d go crazy with an hand in my hair. When it’s over, she’s be paralized - still with her hand in her hair..

:-) Lydia stephanie Barker replies: "i can absolutly see what you are saying.

when i am at a high point (or low) how ever you want to say it. crying and just trying not to jump, i do find my self with my hands in my hair and holding on. "

so.. she’s like staring into nothing, emptying her mind, .. it’s like a rage passed by and now she forgets about everything.. or she lost quite much, and her wings came off with the same atmosphere as the picture has.. empty. But I think the wings are pretty rough ripped off. I think she almost controlled the rage, or at least the starting, and thought it was what she deserved. Now her mind is scary calm, she leaves the rustling and stared into nothing, with a scent of self pity, .. Looks down at herself.. It’s sad, she knows, does she care? Does she knows she might care?
It’s nice when you find yourself with your hands in your hair, you have the ability go get rid off - or at least deal with the feeling, by expressing it. This way. I’m almost sure now you drew a self-harming fairy.
I’d hug a faity lying that way.. So I’d hug your auch [; *hug*

:-) Lydia stephanie Barker replies: "thank you so much for the comment!! 1 really appreciate it. the funny thing is that you are very close to the real deal. i just love when people really look into a persons art. not just look but to see. to look deeper into the art. it’s very surprising at what meaning that you can find. thank you anon. 2"
