But Don't Be Afraid

^{"- But don't be afraid. You hold the greatest weapon against the darkness." - Kingdom Hearts}

This was something I've been needing to get out of my head for a while; this is me banishing my ill thoughts, feelings and my art block along with it. I have been feeling turbulent, anxiety picking up and making me feel horrid but I choose to accept that I feel anxious, and I know I do, but I will not let it push me over the edge. If it wants to be there, so be it. There is nothing I can do but accept the feelings and live with them. The more I accept that this anxiety is mine, the more it goes away. Weird, but it works.

And this is the result of my feelings. In all, I'm happy with this manipulation, I am. I know it is a little dark and twisted but its something I've been meaning to get off my chest. I feel better now as well.

The splashes and the positioning could have some more work on them but I am still rather pleased with the turnout of this, and I'm learning to incorporate things better, slowly.
