A photo I took a few days ago at "Carreau Rodolphe", an old
mine in Alsace, France. You can view a backstage photo and
a detail at this link. Model: Artruk.

PS: The object on the right that looks like a tractor wheel is
in fact a big cylinder connected to a huge engine that used to
extract tons of potash minerals (salts that contain potassium)
when the mine was still active...

Angry

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:03:16 PDT

I have gotten a very angry relationship with my art. I don't feel like I improve anymore, and whenever I try to go out of my comfort zone I just get so intensely angry and frustrated that I just want to break everything and fall to the floor and cry. which is weird, because before I loved trying new things, exploring new techniques and styles. Now I just... I've given up. And it doesn't help that DeviantART is not doing it for me anymore. It feels so fake. I have to put so much effort and activity into keeping you guys satisfied that I wear myself out. And as I'm not improving or, drawing at all, the support that used to keep me going becomes non existent and I just want to give up. Not to mention the fact that the only time I get notice, comments and helpful advice is when I draw the same shit that I always draw. Whenever I try putting effort into something or trying something new no one gives a fuck, and that gives off so many confusing signals. I also managed to step into an art-trap, by drawing a style that is unbelievably physically hurtful to my wrist, giving me extreme inflammations whenever I try to hold a pen, which is why I have only been able to sketch on tumblr the last couple of weeks.

_{edit, regarding the 'praise' I do get}It also annoys me so much that people treat me like some kind of celebrity or art god, it's nice that you like my art and all, but I'm not really all that good, actually I'm pretty terrible. And fooling yourself to look at me as an idol and inspiration is stupid. All I want is to draw in a community of artists that treat each others art equal, help each other improve and praise where it is artistically deserved to be praised. I have no art education, I just like to draw. So when you comment praise beyond common sense, it just makes me equally confused about peoples view on what I do draw and if I have reached the top of my artistic abilities and that there only down from here.

I'm dwelling on leaving dA, changing accounts, or just take a long hard break.
I want to grow as an artist. not try to keep an audience satisfied at all times regardless of what I really want to do.
I love drawing, but sometimes dA feels like a big boulder tied to my wrist. and I don't really know why.

Game Over

Sat, 11 May 2013 17:52:35 PDT

I met you at the Inn after I lost another battle. You had lost just like I did and you were wounded from all the imps, the wolves and the rogues that stole your coins. I used my healing skills and kissed your wounds and you did the same. You helped me build my inventory with spoils and weapons I thought I could never obtain myself. I held your hand in one hand, and a sword in the other. You said you would see me in the dungeon, and you brought the wolves and bats you promised you would protect me from with you. I hunted for treasure, but you just sat and watched me in search of something that didn't exist. You picked me by my strengths and abilities, and I picked you for what I thought we could find in the dungeons you never explored. I became the level I couldn't beat and you have the key to the heart shaped lock. You just sat there and watched as my health bar went down and my blood splattered letters, forming "GAME OVER". I dropped the sword and shield you equipped me with, the coins and treasures we collected at first and the fairies we caught were set free. You forced me to rage quit when I realized it was Game Over for me.

REBLOG on Tumblr here

"And I don't want to see what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come

Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Cry and cry and cry
Over the love of you."
Listen

Earth, Teach Me

05-16-13 Earth, Teach Me

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light.
Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young.
Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky.
Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall.
Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.

Counting My God Forsaken Sins :Vent:

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:57:21 PDT

Pride - broken on the wheel - Violet
Envy - put in freezing water - Green
Anger - dismembered alive - Red
Sloth - thrown in snake pits - Light Blue
Greed - put in cauldrons of boiling oil - Yellow
Gluttony - forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes - Orange
Lust - smothered in fire and brimstone - Blue

--

I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)

When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating

You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

‘Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)

When the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow

You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong

‘Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)

I’m bleeding out for you (for you)
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)
I’m bleeding out for you

‘Cause I’m bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out for you (for you)

_{_{I know it's not my job to make everyone happy. I need it to be or I'm useless and easily replaceable. If I can't do my job I'm worthless. I'm nobody....

You're all so kind but, when you say stuff like "You couldn't have known" "it's not your job to make them happy" all that, it makes me feel worse because, it is my job. Don't say "That's what it may feel like" because know, it is my job. It always has been. I am a helper. I see to it that I can help talk out a person's problems as best as I can. However, when I am in the person's same needs, I turn to no one because...I'm a helper. We don't seek help. We give it.

I'm not worth your time; is really what I'm saying. I appreciate the care but, it kills me inside knowing that you guys waste your time on me....It really does.}}

Shakespeare's sister – Stay lyrics
sung by Cher lloyd -hauntingly beautiful-[link]

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you

Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go out alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in-betweens

When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you wake one day
In your own world
'cuz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell

If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me

Background - modeled in Archicad14, rendered in Artlantis3 (Used: Artlantis' textures | Chair: Archicad's Library Designer Chair 03 4)

little mistakes, or rather omissions, here and there. maybe sometime in the future I will "perfect" this piece.
