Very beautiful

A death? A relationship? A lost kitty? D:

out of wine.

"I thought that $3 bottle would have been better."

Thanks, now I'm depressed :\

I guess she's related to Uncle Kage...

I wish this would help me sometimes sadly my brain will never stop so I luck out, goo dthing I am usually really happy

Wonderful job. I like how the gray tone and lack of colors reflect the mood and how the wine being the only thing in color to show that it's the escape. Great job. :)

Thank you =D. Hooray for symbolism ^.^

You're very welcome. WOOO! XD

(*Smile*) It did not go unnoticed by this little tribble either. VERY powerful. VERY well done.

aaaaaawwwww hugs and water balloons for her

Very classy. You can almost hear the jazz.

I'm partial to the bob marley and ub40 versions of the song lol but nice piece regardless of who sings the song

I thought the UB40 version made the song far too upbeat for the meaning of the song... its a sad sad drinking song. But my personal taste there ^.^ I never heard the bob marley version though. Glad you like the piece ^.^

Bob Marley & UB40 are the same. Reggie. You are right, this song has no business being upbeat.

But Bob Marley makes it sound sooooo gooooooddddddd

I think I've only ever heard the UB40 song... I was actually surprised to see such a sad piece drawn to go with it, because the upbeatness took my attention away from what it's actually about xD

I never knew Neil Diamond did a verison of this song. ....Of course, it's not like I listen to Neil Diamond anyway. XD
I do like versions of song like what UB40 did, where it sounds one way but the lyrics take a different path; like some songs I've heard from Voltaire and Funker Vogt. Really makes listeners pay attention to what their listening to.

Interesting about sad drinking songs, my uncle was part of a bluegrass band (before they broke up) and they had a song that I really enjoyed... I forget the name of the song, but one of the recurring lyrics went like this...

"If the ocean were whiskey, and I was a duck,/
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up./
I will never come up again."

And... to be honest, it's not sad slow, but at the same time, it's not way way upbeat. I kinda like it. Too bad they were not a big popular band, even for the genre.

I don't think I had fully respected the song until I had heard it from Neil Diamond; truly a somber tune, and the one my mind's ear turns to at first sight of this work. Still, while I am relieved that this is not reflecting any true heaviness in your heart, I appreciate this exercise in expression, as well as the use of such music as the seeds of inspiration for your imagery.

Fantastic ^^

Alcohol has never helped me forget. It just dulls the pain for a while. Then its back, combined with the day after. Sad, so truly sad. I am so well aware of what it is like to lose one you love. Either by leaving you or dying, it is a pain that never dulls.

Excellent emotional piece.

Gorgeous piece, keep up the great work! :D

It is very beautiful.
Conveys the emotion well.

awww....I wish to halp her somehow

Kitty needs a hug :(

Very, very beautiful...
Why is she so sad? =(

Aww... I wanna hug her.

I like the UB40 version, BTW.

Drowning the sorrows of a lost person in alcohol is never a good solution. It only makes things worse and affect those you still have around :(
And yes, i read that this is not your current mood, I just felt like pointing that out.

That aside, the mood of the pic and her expression are really well done :o

"it would be fun to do something sad"

Ambivalence !!! *brain bugged*

I'm weird =D I like sad stuff.

I can't blame you on that :3 *hides his FA galery*

And now I must go rip that delightful album by UB40~

Kinda reminds me of Shindler's List, with the only color in the piece being red. Almost everything in the pic is a dull and lifeless pattern of grey, except for her solace from sorrow. I think this piece really conveys the emotions of sadness and loss quite well. I like the little touch of the slight spill at the base of the glass.

The red dress - yeah that was really memorable.

The spill there is actually supposed to be a reflection from the wine down onto the bar surface..

Ah, that makes sense, I hadn't thought about that. Most of my beverages, except water, are opaque (Pop, OJ, Milk). Still, great attention to detail.

Ah, I was about to ask which it was. Works either way, of course ^_^ The song stuck in my head now, somehow, is a slow sad one by a young Tom Waits.

Aww!

She looks like she is is in need of someone to talk to. A cheering nuzzle might do it as well.^^

very nice ^_^

Neil Diamond did Red Red Wine? I thought that was a UB40 song...one must have been a cover. Oh well, I really liked the calypso feel of the other one.

he did the original, if im right.. much better rendition IMO

=:3

UB40 was a cover. Its an interesting version, but I didn't feel that it was in the true spirit of the song.

Maybe not, but the breakdown is so much fun to sing along with.

Red red wine ya mek me fee' so fine
Ya keep me rockin' all of the time
Red red wine ya mek me fee' so grahn
I feel a million dolla when ya joos' in mi 'ahn
Red red wine ya mek me fee' so sahd
Anytime I see ya go it mek me feel bahd
Red red wine in a ee-ighties style
Red red wine in a modden beat style
Yeh.

poor kitty.. i could almost forget she's a predator and give her huggles..

=:3

If I was a girl...this would be me. definately...

you just keep pumping these out! WOw!
Love the mood in this one :)

Thank you =D. I'm tryin' to get a lot done...

I like UB40's song of it....at least i think UB40 made a sogn called Red Red wine.

wow very beautiful! its amazing how you can portray emotions through your art!

Depresion make me... FURY!!!!
MUST DESTROY SOMETHING!

It never pleases me to see people do this IRL. :(

Beautifully done ^^

This is so expressive, and something I think all of us can relate to at one time or another. This is precisely what I think makes this a great picture. Great work, I highly approve :)

:( I want to give her a hug...

Finally... someone else out here who understands even that the song came from Neil Diamond.

Interesting touch on the wine's shadow, not exactly sure if it's something that should be there for the piece's mood though...

listen to some swedish metal! that'll give you a rebelious feeling of joy!

though it's totally optionall! Ish be metal head

listen to some swedish metal! that'll give you a rebelious feeling of joy!

ops lost connection at send so it sent my last command again!

It makes me wanna cry...

d'aww
many times i used to get like that too when i missed my loved one.
such a beautiful emotional picture

Mhm, I feel the urge to hold her in my arms and try to cease her sadness... =/

Really awesome picture! ^_^

What a beautifully sad piece, very emotive :)

Been there and done that. :/

Aww, there's so much emotion in this piece. It's very beautiful. I like that the entire scene is in greyscale, but the wine.

I only did that once (I look back and laugh now; good times XD) and I must say, I can sympathize quite well with the tone. Something in her face, her expression hits me hard, though I can't -exactly- place why, but I love it.

All you need now is to do a sequel to Neil Diamond's Cracklin' Rosie which is also about wine... Canadian wine. :)

Very nicely done, or in the words of a similar song,

Countin' on a remedy
I've counted on before
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me
What you call the disease,
I call the remedy
What you're callin' the cause,
I call the cure

Mighty Mighty BossTones, 'Another Drinkin' Song'

Good one.

Drepressingly beautiful!

Heavy stuff.

Yet again, your ability to capture emotion in a drawn form is beyond amazing! And no, the symbolism is not missed by this wolf.

Aww, poor lady... I hope she finds whatever it is she's looking for!

I can relate to this picture so much, you've drawn exactly how i feel so i love this piece. The dark shades and the bold red make this picture stand out so well. Heck its even a white kitty girl like me <3

Beautiful picture <3 great job

A sad pice, Very beautiful work.

Is a truly gorgeaous piece, and no matter the mood at the time, it does catch, perfectly, the mood that holds that face and shoulder pose!! *face-palms* i know that feeling!!

Was listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge. Just felt right.

Thats a great song. I agree that it would fit well here.

A very nice piece. Her expression of melancholic reflection is really well done.

She looks so emotionally shattered. It's perfect.

My first thought of song was Red Red Wine by The Replacements. Not exactly a sad song in the same sense but still. Nice picture though.

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But mem'ries won't go
No, mem'ries won't go

wow.. I`d forgotten about UB40
Very nice work

Beautiful image even in its sadness

Oooh, a lovely heartfelt piece. As much as I like a lot of the art around here, there is a lot of porn, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it tends to be fairly emotionally empty.

Then you do something like this, and, well. It's lovely, Kacey :)

Thanks very much =)

Puts me in mind of a little something...

Kitty

(no response)

Kitty!

Yeah?

Kitty ain't you going to bed?

Not right now.

Ain't you planning on going to bed in the near future?

No.

You ever going to bed?

No.

Well I ain't sleepy either.

Good, then have a drink.

No, not me kitty.

Then don't have a drink.

wow.. the color tones, shading and emotion in this image.. it's very powerful.. wonderful work

I have a thing for pics like this...

does make me wonder what you could conjure forth from some other songs. there's far to many that are possible to even think of listing some.

Poor girl. This is a very emotive piece. <3

Nice job Kacey. Anyone who sees this can relate to it. The lady needs a friend and a hug. The rest will come in good time. I've been on both sides of that fence...been grateful for the support and happy to be there for a friend when they need it.

That sense of melancholy... I want to give her a hug, but at the same time it seems like an inappropriate course of action because (warning: This is influenced by other artwork of yours. This is not just me being a dirty 25-year-old man) she seems to be mourning the loss of a girlfriend to the tragic circumstances that crop up in all yuri (seemingly no exceptions).

Lovely work - the emotion really shines through.

About the only thing I miss about drinking is being able to stare over the rim of a glass of red wine. Holding that stuff makes you look intellectual or soulful no matter how many glasses you've had.

That poor thing..."love how you really captured her emotions!

I like the coloring in this. Looks dull and depressingly forgetful. Nicely drawn as usual. Good to see something different from you there.

I can't believe that I missed this piece in my submissions list. I love the emotion in this picture. It looks like she could really use a comforting hug.

Wow my eyes must have issues picking out the red of the wine, either that or the calibrations of my monitors are completely off. Hopefully I'll get to see this in person at AC.

Can I help the kitty somehow? I don't like furries to be sad... I'd like to help he cheer up somehow. :(

But hey, at least she's getting her antioxidants!

-GASPU- I didn't know you were going to be at AC! I'm even more excited now, I'll have to find you, and if you would permit me, give you a hug!

Also, as all your work is, this is beautifully done. You did a great job of reflecting her emotion in both posture and shading/tone of the image. :)

Finally a furry artist who tries to bring some meaning into their pictures. Nice.

Very nicely done! Great job capturing the mood of the piece!

*hugs you and hopes u feel better*

Reminds me of myself a while back, I've had several rough times in my life with chronic depression and anxiety attacks as a result.
Hope you never have to go through the things I went through, and wish you a happy and healthy life with as few downs as possible *hugs*

A lot of powerful emotion in this *nods*
the red of the wine being the only color standing out, it's like the blood of a broken heart

I'm sorry that you can relate... Unfortunately, I can too. Its been a while, and I have had time and love to recover, but you never totally forget...

It's true you never really forget something bad happening to you, and I'm grateful to a handful of people for without whom I would have been lost entirely at the time and even now. We can only hope that the things that hurt us can only make us stronger.

Maybe I should print this out and put it up on the wall, to help remind myself of all the good things I have over the bad.
Thank you. :)

very sad but impressive artwork

Very nicely done. You really show her emotions.

This is so... I'm not sure. I just love it so much!

Very nicely done she looks so sad but it is very pritty

Oh ... OW!

I know that kind of pain, and I can feel it in this drawing. Being able to draw something that transmits an emotion as strongly as this does is more than impressive. Especially when your own mood is totally different. Awesome. Simply Awesome.

A bit too painful for me to want to save it, tho ...

I've been there...so many times..


Beautiful drawing

I have felt that way more then I would like to admit and I have hit some pretty bad lows during one of those situations I had decided that I was going to do my best to help others when they are in need of a caring person to talk to. I have helped alot of people and cared for every one of them If you ever are in need of help or just wanna chat send a note ^__^

One thing I do when down in the dumps is look for cute or happy artwork and your artwork has always pt a smile on my face thank you for posting ^__^

It's beautiful but so, so sad.

She's seen that the wine has spilt but can't even bring herself to do something about it.



Very well done.

heh... i know exactly how she feels....

a lovely reflection of the emotion. I wish I could ask her to dance and cheer her up @.@

God, that reminds me of an episode earlier ;_;
Don't be depressed and drink...

lol that's totally me DX

This is really beautiful... Reflections the emotions perfectly.

Не грусти. Всё будет хорошо!

I honestly liked UB-40's cover a lot more than the original o.o...but that's because I love reggae x3.

Great work...really, great work.

wow, I've been there... excellent work. Immediate fav, if nothing else to remind me how I've grown. =]

Truly emotional and heart-wrenching. I can't say anything that hasn't been said already.

потрясающая работа, пробрало.

That could so be me, except I don't like whine. Have felt like that lately.

God i wanna hug her soo bad! Cheer up, kitty!

i showed this to my friend Felix, he said the expressions look same as me when im down, well he faved it because its beautifull at once ^_^ -faves too-

It's very depressing, but the picture itself is extremely expressive in a :) and :( way.

Made me think of Nora Jone's "Don't know why"

awsome

She Reminds me Very much of a character I created in a Story, this peice of art gives me that Same Feeling of Sorrow that i get when i think about My character Anne and her Hardships.

This is definitely going into my favorites, Excellent work on this.

The piece is beautiful, love the grey tones.

red wine
and a dark blue sky.
tears rain down.
Salty wine.

How I wish for

a red heart
a blue sky
a nice guy
who really smart

but saltly red wine
forgotten is time.
alone with my red wine.


(FREE POEM)

I keep forgetting that Red Red Wine is originally by him lol I've only listened to UB40's version, but I'll most likely hear the song at the neil diamond concert tomorrow (technically tonight now) lol but anyway, the drawing goes well with it :)

So expressive, and we've all been there!

I love it, now if only there was some way i can cheer her up.http://www.furaffinity.net/img/s.....lies/dunno.png

i've just fell in love with this so much

Well, i wasn't aware that UB40's version was actually a cover.

Gave the original a listen, and it as Quite nice, quite nice. Not sure which i prefer though, both are Great.

As for the ARt, very nicely done, love the grey tone, it easily depicts the mood of the Kitty.

This is perhaps my favorite image I have come across on the site, the emotion and feeling it conveys is without a doubt superb!

Thanks a lot! =)
