Description

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is a very common saying in Japan. But it doesn't just apply to that country alone. Different people are bullied in every country. In fact, most people decide not to be themselves after the bullying. And even society in the west often tells people just to be "normal" and not themselves. We still have that pressure to be normal Christians, even from our parents. I myself have had this kinda pressure from my Mom and Dad.

So this was supposed to be Inktober day #18 but I took pretty long. The theme was "misfit" and this was the first thing to come to my mind. And I listened to lots of Myuuji and Silent Hill 1-4 OST to fit the mood.

As for the others, I might look and see what themes of the day I like.

oh no ;;w;;
i like the concept, how the crying face looks, the simplistic black and white figures--
_{tho if i had to say something for improvement, coz u asked for critique-- um, maybe make the bg lighter? like a shade of grey or something-- as it is its a bit too dark making it a bit difficult to see the person or hammer-- or maybe im not sitting up straight enough or something lolol//laze}
