Feels Like I'm Suffocating

This took all night!

I liked having hurt,
So send the pain below where I need it,
You used to beg me to take care of things,
And smile at the thought of me failing.

But long before, having hurt,
I'd send the pain below,
I'd send the pain below.

Much like suffocating.

My DA page was looking empty, so I decided to create my first *DrowningSirens deviantID!

This image was painted entirely in Gimp in around six hours.

"In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous and devious creatures, portrayed as femmes fatales who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island." - Siren - Wikipedia

I'm grateful for any criticism. This is my first piece painted entirely in Gimp with a wacom bamboo tablet - so feel free to offer suggestions.
