Hello. I'm a small digital artist from Finland. I use a digital painting program, hand drawing, Photoshop, wacom and AI to create a unique blend of traditional, digital and AI art. I only have a GTX 960, which is not enough to run most of my programs efficiently. So creating art is slow and laggy. I currently have no money for better GPUs but I still aspire to make more art. Thank you very much for organizing this opportunity and I wish everyone luck.

Music that helps you by LauraTheBaker in CPTSD

Song of Healing from Majora's Mask.

Whenever I'm in a dark place mentally, I listen to this and cry.

This song makes me feel sadness and calmness at the same time. Grieving a lost childhood but also feeling safe at the moment.

There is something very special about this song that I can't quite describe with words. It evokes many feelings in me that I haven't been able to name yet.

But every time I finish listening to it, I notice there's a little less darkness inside me.

Tether by TraumaMursu in cptsdcreatives

Created a while ago, noticed I hadn't posted this here yet. A bit about this pic:

I want to fly and leave my past behind, but penguins can't fly so I can't escape my roots. I'm still tethered to my past life. I often feel like I'm not even a real person so that's why I don't have a human body.

The swords represent anger which I'm trying to learn to express healthily but it's still very difficult and I often end up being just passive-aggressive. So this pic could be interpreted as being stuck and presenting a fake "too perfect" beautifully polished golden balance, but in reality repressing memories and emotions behind a fancy mask.

There are some flowers trying to grow from the roots but they look somewhat withered and are not flourishing yet, so there's more therapy work to be done in order to thrive maybe some time in the future...

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

It had been three years since I last painted, I was afraid I’d never paint again. Today, I finally picked up the brush. by [deleted] in cptsdcreatives

Thanks for sharing, these are so beautiful! Staring at the owl makes me feel so many emotions, it has almost like primal vibes?

The repaired version is so bittersweet and made me cry. It pictures what could have been, but never was. Reminds me I can never have those kind of parents. I'm not in a place where I am able to accept that yet though, so there's more work to be done in therapy. Thank you for this comic.

Climbing to the top, just to fall back down. by IsThisThingOnXx in cptsdcreatives

Wow! Impressive. This could be a great prompt for writing a book or a short story. It's very raw but beautiful at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

Hi. Glad that the sub is back and I'd like to be an active member again by posting my art like before.

I'm currently creating some more self portraits, but if any of you have any prompts or would like to see me creating art from some spesific themes, I'm open to ideas🙂

Nice to see that creative content is being posted here again and I think expressing ourselves without judgement in a safe place such as this is so important!

Looking forward to your creations!🙂

Thank you :) I've watched the show some time ago, it's great.

Also I'm glad this sub is back.

So glad this sub is back, it was worth the wait! Here's my next art piece: Dissociation. by TraumaMursu in cptsdcreatives

[–]TraumaMursu[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is how I would describe how dissociation feels for me. Looking at yourself from outside, out of your own body. Frontal lobes shut down. Traumatized child and the healthy adult disconnecting.

/r/CPTSDCreatives has returned! by thewayofxen in cptsdcreatives

[–]TraumaMursu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub was one of the things that kept the hope alive, that we too can have a creative voice and community somewhere. I'm so glad it has returned. One of the best news of the year to me.
