I totally agree it must be hard. Depends how you work, but you will find quite a bit of hard hitting information on growing up with threat over time if you check the journals for child PTSD in Ukraine and Israel. I'm more of an academic than an artist, so I thought it might give you more insights to work in.

On a positive note I didn't give you enough credit for clarity and composition, looking at it again. Appreciate the discussion.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I love it when r/Art treats artists like kindergarten kids. I'm being downvoted hard.

Discussion is more valuable to artists than a pat on the head. Even if they don't agree, which OP is welcome to do.

My favorite joke: An art critic asks an artist, “Do you want to hear my opinion of your art.” The Artist replies, “Sure.” The Critic says, “it’s worthless” “I know, but tell me anyway.”
