... and let it go.
Let it go."

And that up there ^^^ is from the song Iridescent, by Linkin Park! Just found the song today, and ack, it's great!


Anywho... I tried something today I've never done before with this art - the pressing-against-the-screen effect!

I had a certain two people in mind while making this, as I know they've both been feeling frustrated and stressed lately about something coming up. And since they helped and encouraged me through a rough patch in my life just a while ago, I figured the least I could do was attempt to return the favor with a lil' drawing! I won't name names, but I'm sure you know who you are! Sorry this isn't a huge thank-you or something super helpful for your situation or something, but I do hope you two enjoy it! <3

But, although I originally came up with this idea for certain people, I hope this encourages others as well, because I know that sometimes, everyone just needs to hear something like this once in awhile. I learned that first-hand, hehe. c:

So enjoy this lil' pupper! And have a wonderful day/night! <3

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you think so! I sometimes don't care to spend time on designing a specific character in my art, so I tend to use a lot of grays and whites and make it a bit more simple instead, hehe! I like focusing harder on the expression and mood of the art sometimes. c:

*Hugs back* I was hoping it would. I'm so glad you like it, seriously. You're absolutely amazing, and I wanted to give you something that showed it. <333333

And you should! It's got a good meaning, and I'm glad I found it! C:
