Suicide Marionette - Dark Depression

Alrighty people! Just a small note before you read onwards - This small project called Suicide Marionette is purely for stress relief; I'm under a hell of a lot of it of late, so this is to help me vent before I drive myself well and truly insane. Selected people will probably know what this is about, but I'm not going to go into it :/

The reason for this project being called Suicide Marionette is symbolic of events in my life at the moment. Purely symbolic, and nothing more. I'm not that far gone, alright people

I will probably write a small story to go with the later pictures to help me get my emotional baggage in order. If you want to read onwards and see what my writing style is, feel free. I won't lie and say this is not based on my own experiences, because this is something rather personal for me.

But anyway. This image is a sketch I did today and I just tidied it up and added an overlay of pink and red. I thought keeping it simple might be a nice change for me.

I believe this image says it all, though. I've been having a lot of nightmares since my recent events, and it usually ends up this way. I've never had such vivid nightmares before, even as a child. I usually don't dream, and for some reason, they're louder and more frequent.




Well, I believe this is about all I need to say.

Feel free to favorite if you'd like.
