This week's theme is "Family". Each of these artworks was chosen by one of our admins, who also gave a brief explanation of how these artworks fit the theme for this week.

by Lukurio
"This piece shows that family isn't just with your blood relatives but with your close friends and with the people you're most comfortable with."
"This portrays 'Family' really well. While the people that he artist drew aren't necessarily family, It portrays the feeling of togetherness and the fact that you don't have to see someone in person to be close to them."

Family~ Wolf's Rain by C0depink by C0depink
"This artwork shows an interesting portrayal of what a family can be like. Even though each of the wolves have their differences, they all stick together, and even death cannot separate them."

Dancing Among the Stars by whitneyw by whitneyw
"This piece is not only extremely well done in both the color scheme and overall feeling to it, but it also conveys the idea that "family can take you anywhere". Family is something magical for all of us and the moonlit feel of this whimsical piece with lovers dancing in the sky keeps with that message."

Commission: Green hope by Dry89 by Dry89
"This is the one of the most straightforward deviations I've seen of family. It's so clear what it's trying to say and the artist's point of view on family love. Not to mention the drawing is really nicely done and the background is simple yet complementary to the piece."

I'll Make My Own WayBiting my lips until they bleed
Because there's no one here to kiss them
Sat in the dark because no one needs me with them
Trapped in a cold, dark padded cell
It's meant to be a refuge but it feels like hell
I need the key but I don't even know if there is one
You said it would be easier than this
I don't deserve any of this
Please can someone take me far away from this
Before there's nothing left of me
Because it's just me now
No one else to hold me tight
I'll sing the lullabies to myself
To help me get through the night
And if someone else comes along
To take me out of this place
I'll welcome them with open arms
And a smile upon my face
But don't think for a second that I'll trust you
I've been deceived far too much
I've learnt how to read the hidden signs
Of a lying man's touch
So give me the key out of here
And I'll escape, run so far away
But I won't want anyone else with me
I'll make my own way
Dreaming of those future days
Where freedom will come find me
I'll run away even if th
by Lady---Vengeance
"This piece doesn't talk about a loving and caring family. Instead it talks about a person in total isolation. They talk about not having anyone on their side or anyone to depend on. They've lost faith in other people and trusting them. The person talks about growing stronger from their independence. At the moment in the piece they aren't very strong, instead they're broken from what other people have done to them and they've lost trust. The person in this piece doesn't have family or talk about because of the insecurity of people and lack of family makes this an interesting read."

Reverie's REFLECTION by AdelphoiA3  by AdelphoiA3
"The girl in this amazing drawing seems to be off on her own and somewhat depressed. I don't know the story behind the drawing, but she could use a loving family to make her feel better."

Taco Buddies by Lokitty-of-Lies by Lokitty-of-Lies
"Not exactly family, but something that shows two friends being comfortable with each other, just eating their tacos happily together. Being with someone that you feel awesome with is family too. And there's also the fact that it was made for someone, and showing some love to your friends is another thing family's all about.
But on the art itself, it may seem simple, but look at that line art! And the anatomy is awesome too. And they captured the expressions excellently.
Lovely work, indeed."
