It will help me get back into the swing of KOL, it's got me moving pretty good now. I feel more like drawing.
I feel this picture is appropriately more effective with the darker tracks of Silent Hill or any dark atmosphere music. That, or look up on Youtube "Song of healing reversed" or "Ikana Valley reversed". Both of which I used at one point to work on this picture.
This is inspired purely off of my emotions at the moment. I feel like it's my way of getting it out to the world around me, because I have no one else to listen to it.
Kiara represents myself, as I always pick. I do so because she's my favorite character and I relate well to her. She is bruised and scratched, as I have felt emotionally recently. Kovu represents the lost chances of love and friendship, how I felt that he felt when he turned away from me.
The lionesses in the foreground represent my friends or other people. They are darker because they are either too far from me to really reach out to, or they just don't want to hear how it feels or are unsure how to react.
Simba, Nala and Vitani represent how I have felt with my family. I beg them for help emotionally, but they always seem to say the same:
"I can't help you." "What do you want me to say?"
So on. So forth. I feel they stare through me.
The gorge that surrounds and traps her is filled with nothing but pure darkness and anguish, the whispers of the lions circling her through the rocky walls. If you pay close attention, you will see in blood the words that are shanked into her memories by the voices of the pride.
But Kiara tries anyway, again and again; begging for someone to finally save her from this nightmare in hell, stuck in a deep sealed gorge 600 feet down.
Circles and circles she goes, and it's seemingly endless.
Somebody, anybody... Help.

Oh god, I hate when folks are like "I can't help you" or "What do you want me to say?". What does she/he want you to say- Be someone who offers some semblence of support, goddammit! See what they enjoy, what makes them happy, hang out with them as much as you can. Do an activity that makes them happy together, give them a treat they like, just something! What makes you think it has to be something big or real big psycological help you have to give in order to help them? Whatever happened to the whole "Little things matter"? Bottom line, even if it's something small, just do SOMETHING! GODDAMN it! * throws a toy Ghostbusters car to the floor AVGN style *
..... Sorry... That was tactless/undiplomatic, but when I see someone being treated like that just.... urgh. It pisses me off, to say the least. Especially since I know how it feels. I don't know to what degree it got with you, but what you described is exactly how I remember feeling when I was younger (no friends, no genuine love from another guy, no support from the superior, just hatred). Nowadays, while that feeling is still present, I'm doing a lot better than back in the day, but I never forgot how it felt. And even if it never happened, when people don't give a shit or just shrug it off with "what can I do", I still feel like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWT0n5Dksd8 (minute mark 5:11)

and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ZmVAdezF8 (minuta mark 12:06 and from 12:08 to 12:12).
And I'm not gonna lie, I very often feel helpless as to how to help and I don't know what to do nor do I know if I even can help, but very often I ask myself "Does that have to stop me from trying?"
