"Love, in a woman's heart, I wanna have the whole, and not a part" - Quote from a the track "Weekend" from Scooter.

God damn it, I worked 60 HOURS on this imge!!! It is for the German contest for the coming year, the contest I already did this [link] image last year for. But it is no relation, I didn't even work the half time on that one like did on this here. As I started on this image I told myself "last year I didn't won, but I didn't do a 100 percent of my skill. Now I do the best image I am able to do" and so you see it right here. Please give me the longest comment you can :b

I still don't assume that I can win with this image. The contest is a manga-contest, and my image is not really traditional manga stuff. It has nothing japanese in it (though foxes are some kind of gods in their culture), it has no general or traditional manga look, and also, anthropomorph art is more american than japanese. Already at the last contest me and all people who knew my image said, it could at least have been shown, at was a good one compared with all others what were visible. I do really hope that this time my image is at least showed somewhere, or hang out, I don't even need to win - I would only like that my image can be seen somewhere there. I was working so hard on this, using all my free time to work on this, it is my wish that people not only in the internet will see this ^^ But anyhow >_>

Here you got a special version of the image: [link]

So, you see the title and somewhat the content of this image is somewhat different to my usual works - it is sad, and talks about love. Well, the topic I had to follow for this contest is "first date". I assume, that most images people made for this contest will be two happy people, enjoying their love. I thought, I want to do something different, not doing the same boring stuff like most others like I think. So my immediate idea was this. I will first tell you the story of the image:
Alone, staying without a warming body and soul on her side, this woman was using the net to maybe find a right man for her. As luck seemed to wish, she found one, a nice man who seemed to be a gentleman, valuing and liking her. After endless evenings of chatting, someday they both decided to catch up. Full of excitement and with a slowly growing feeling, which was coming closer and closer to this feeling called love, she grabbed her laptop, if he might contact her, and went to the place she wanted to meet him.
She sat down on the bank, not being able to remain without moving around all the time, not stopping to look in every direction she could, just not letting it happen to miss him. The minute of his planned arrival is coming closer and closer... She is counting the seconds down, looks with strait eyes to every men going around the corner.
THEN... The time has come when both actually wanted to see each other. She couldn't stand the pressure in her mind - and the seconds go on. The first 10 minutes pass, nobody appeared... "Maybe he's in a traffic jam" ... Another 10 minutes went past... "He must have some kind of problem" ... 10 minutes more are gone... "He'll contact me in a second, I know it!"
She was waiting for 3 long more hours, and nobody appeared... It wasn't possible that he came along there and accidently not getting to see her. There is no possibility that they accidently missed each other, and being sure of those facts, she's sitting there... Full of tears, heart-broken, not knowing what to do now. She trusted him so much, and he didn't appear.
After another hour of sadness in the park, she slowly left, her eyes even still searching at the sides for somebody to come around. But while slowly getting distance to her bench, where she remained 4 hours long, nobody was to see. In the upcoming darkness, almost nobody went to the park anymore.

She never got a sign from him again. Nothing. As just disappeared from this reality, she wasn't able to get another contact to him, no matter what she tried. If he found another girl, or if he lost interest, who knows actually.
Her next date will definately be a hard one for her.

You need to be careful with your feelings. Many people don't deserve trust.

Many people know, there has been a very very long rant about men and the mis-behaviour of so many of them. I may say, NOT all men are bad, surely. But out there are idiots, who treat women like toys, gadgets or whatever in that kind. Men, who think women only exist for their personal pleasure, who don't care about the feelings of a woman. Either all those people don't know what sort of pain it is for a woman, if the heart aches, or they are just so damned self-centered, that they don't care. Second of both, I hate most. Of course men who betray their loving girlfriend/wife are one of the worst kinds too. Simply to say, I hate men who treat women bad, who do not deserve this, may it be hurting physically, or emotionally. And I will never consciously cause such a situation, displayed in this image. Women have way larger hearts than men (emotionally seen), and if that gets hurt, women can die a thouands deaths... Don't be responsible for this, and never cause that.
