This is for a contest over on deviantART.
But it kinda turned into a vent art...
Its not the best... I screwed up big time, and tried my best to fix it... I'm not sure if I accomplished that or not though. Lol.
I actually did the sketch for this MONTHS ago. but then I stopped feeling this way for a while. so I didn't work on it. and now I feel crappy again, so I came back to finish it! XD
Anyways, I chose to draw tension in my picture, one of the criteria/themes for the contest. The large veins coming from my fursona's chest there probably display the most tension. She's being tripped up by her emotions.

But i LOVE the coloring on Michiyo and her veins. X3 I'm really proud of that.
But I hope you guys like it! I worked really hard!
Please comment and critique!

oh, and here's a random song that kinda explains my feelings in this picture. ^^
I want a normal life
just like a new born child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated
--[Pre-Chorus]
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins
--Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away
--You're like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on tv
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you won't forget it
--[Pre-chorus]
Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away
--Sooner or later you're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away
--Throw our life away
Ooooo
Throw our life away
-Sooner or Later
