_{insomnia -
I am blinded by images that I can't reorder
this whole night is losing all meaning
hour after hour

insonnia -
Sono accecata da immagini che non riesco a riordinare
tutta questa notte sta perdendo significato
ora dopo ora

This, by far, is one of the most stunning things I've seen from you. The image itself is chilling, and inspires a writer like myself. I've seen many drawings that try to capture an image such as this, but none have secuded as well as you have. The contrasts of the black and white, and the subtlest hints of colour in and around the eyes really draw the person in, capturing their attention and making them stair into that gaze until they just have to pull themselves away, lest they become reduced to tears. A sort of pain and anger are handed to us, the onlookers, and we're simply obsorbed by it.
I, for one, was greatly inspired by this peice and, quite frankly, adore it.
Many thanks for this wonderful peice,
Destiny~

As Aristotle said once: "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." This image not only caught my attention because of the outward appearance which describes for itself suffering, psychotic disorder and lack of sleep, but the concept itself sends a message of the feeling of insomnia and some other psychiatric illness, I feel identified with the character. it might not be the best critique ever, and it might not be as consistent as other, but all I can tell is that criticism is not always a bad thing! so keep up your work! ARTIST!
