Statue of thorns

Qui3tGhost September 28th, 2023

I made this pixel art inspired by a conversation I had with a friend...

I often see people afraid to get close to others, the constant fear of thinking that they will hurt you has created an armor of thorns around people, they prefer to turn their hearts into stones, missing the chance to live something new, to have new experiences until it's too late to have them again.

At the end of the day, you will just be a statue with thorns lost in your own temple while crying because no one is able to visit you.

Human beings are fragile, and there will always be someone wanting to hurt our feelings, just as there will be someone wanting to heal us from these tragedies in life.

Don't let your past disturb your future.

Stay well.

@Qui3tGhost Wow you are so good at pixel art! I've had a candle of interest growing in my heart for learning pixel art, and this post has just fueled the flame...

I really wanna try practicing it, do you have any learning references or tips or pretty much anything that you can share? your story or any ideas perhaps? Maybe some suggestions/recommendations on what parts of practicing/learning it to focus-on/look-into first?

@Archer468 I'm glad you could restore your interest! 

Personally, I feel terrible asking for help irl, that reflected on me not looking for any kind of tutorial or references, learning most of what I know just by myself, following just what I thought it would look good, but since we are creatures that need others to survive, I ended up finding these inspirations eventually(youtube):

You can also learn a lot from games, gba content, gaming creation, it all depends on what kind of pixel art you're trying to learn. 

I still kinda new on pixel art so I wouldn't have much to say about it, but hopefully you can learn more and even post your art here too! Can't wait to see!

Nice art with a nice story behind it, very relatable, and yes it is not easy to trust people after experiencing certain things. Hope y'all find your healers soon.

@Qui3tGhost that's really sick, I'd love to see the water animated.

@Qui3tGhost

I am that statue of thorns living in my own temple, not crying but living with much loss and sadness. Without trust, I have no path to benefit others or myself.

This is wonderful artwork with a fantastic and accurate depiction of an emotion or feeling, along with well written words to express a deep truth. Thanks for sharing.

@IsayUncle

Living with loss and sadness is definitely difficult, a "good" reason to cry in your temple too if necessary... I'm sorry you're facing such thoughts, but I'm at least glad you could relate to my art in a deep way! Hope your temple starts getting better with time! Thanks for commenting!
