Triggering (SH): soda's art

[Soda_Voxel]

I'll use this thread to post art I make - not all my art but particularly the art I make to express my feelings and emotions...unlike my poetry I'm putting it all in one thread so I don't clog the category.

Fair warning, a lot of these artworks are dark. they will be triggered accordingly if needed in large bold red text, but the images are very large so scroll slowly so you don't accidentally see something you don't want to see.

this first drawing is messy but I don't believe it needs any trigger warnings.

I made this piece to process some newfound feelings of unrequited love, jealousy, and false romantic hope. This is very hard for me and I expect it will only get harder...I needed to make this drawing pretty fast to let out these feelings. I used some new markers I got and theyre very nice. They will be even more fun to use when I'm not rushing.

This is great. I’m looking forward to seeing more art!

TRIGGER WARNING: Animal injury - blood - bandages - eye injury
This piece is based on the song Pigeon And The Dove by Matt Van and depicts me and my struggles with unrequited love and fantasising about things I can never have.

I must have forgotten but what does the pigeon and dove symbolize?

Hello, it's based off a song called Pigeon And The Dove. The lyrics go like, "can't you see, little one? you're a pigeon, she's a dove' and other similar lines - doves are often seen as graceful symbols of peace whereas street pigeons are typically hated, implying that the singer is lesser than or not good enough for their 'dove'. In this drawing, I am letting the dove go, because it represents things and people I cannot have. Hope this clarification helps.

This first piece is a simple self portrait,displaying how I feel in a simple drawing with no real metaphors or fancy imagery, including some of my personal physical insecurities. The white splodge on my thigh was added in post to censor scars.


This piece, called 'Surrender to the Mist', is another self portrait, but depicts my persona character rather than my real life self. It shows my disconnection with the world and how I've been really connecting with the concept of the weather, especially mist, and the idea of 'fading away' and isolating myself from others.

That's so cool
An idea! Maybe you could draw a broke mirror to do an illusion where the mirror is sane or a real feeling where the mirror is broken!

It's just a my idea...

Great job and I hope we see more.

These drawings are very neat. I am looking forward to seeing more. After all, self-expression via art can be incredibly therapeutic.

Love you're work!

The images in this thread are no longer visible, I will fix this at some point!

Your artworks are really good.

Long time no post. This piece is titled 'Loose Cannon'. I made it when I was really, really angry with someone.
TW: Direct eye contact, bright colours, and bomb imagery.

This is a lovely picture. I enjoy seeing you post your work. Great job.

These piece is called 'Wilting White Lilies & Daffodils'. The daffodil represents unrequited love, and the white lilies represent apology and wanting forgiveness. This piece shows me expressing my regret for not returning my friend's feelings for me.
