better days are coming for you by *Dinosaurio-Allie This piece really captures the emotions of those effected and what we can say to help lighten the heart. No, a lot of us don't pray, but we can say something else just as helpful, thoughtful, and kind in its place.

EDIT2:

Yea, I understand that making art isn't going to physically help anyone.

But you know, if I was hit by a tsunami and an earthquake, and then continue to have nuclear toxins released in the air, I would hope people would care.

I'm sorry that I don't have money to donate.
I'm sorry to all the people in Japan who need those donations.

But to those who can, please donate. I'm not going to preach about it, but if you can, please do. If not, then just do what you can.

donation links[more OFFICIAL links will be added];

ENGLISH- Japanese red cross[through Google, the official Japanese Red Cross page is in Japanese]; [link]

Text message "REDCROSS" to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

EDIT:
So, I woke up this morning. Got on the computer to DeviantART to see 307 messages.
and I figured it was from someone going upload crazy.

BUT NO.
INSTEAD
HOLY COW. A DD. :heart:
Thank you SOO much to :iconstormpenguin: for suggesting it and :iconhazelnutx: for featuring it!

Yes, I understand that other places were affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Honeslty, I don't know the situation in the other countries. How bad they need help, if they have the supplies they need. But Japan was hit the worst, and I did not mean to display ignorance toward the other countries affected.

I apologize if people were offended.

[/EDIT]

better days are coming for you, Japan. :heart:

I'm sorry for anything that's incorrect in Japanese! I used Google Translator and we all know how accurate that thing is..

i am SO freaking sick of these people who constantly comment on these "Pray For Japan" pieces of art saying

"OH I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD AND I DON'T PRAY SO PRAYING WON'T DO ANYTHING AND YOU ARE ALL WASTING YOUR TIME HURPDURP."

just shut the hell up.
i typed up 70 words you could use in place of "pray"

so i hope you all can come up with something better to say than "I'm atheist or whatever and don't believe in god."

love
believe
hope
pray

whatever you want.
just do it.

Minimalistic with an immense sense of pregnancy to it. This simple yet alluring digital typography draws one in with a heartfelt cause at its root.

I have seen quite a lot of pieces created by artists who feel the need to support the mass devastation that Japan and the souls living there have suffered, but nothing quite so beautifully appealing in its simplicity and style.

The inspiration of creating Japan's flag with a white and blue sky like background reminds one of the pritine beauty of Japan's natural biodiversity, especially with the use of the colour white (how beautiful Mount Fiji looks capped in snow!)

The typography breathes the essence of haiku spirit and the kanji adds that oriental touch that we all associate with Japan. Indeed, for those who don't pray... it is a firm yet gentle reminder of what you can do; something that one often forgets in the comfort of clean air conditioned air and warmth of central heating, far away from any threat of radiation or biohazard.

An excellent job! Really moving... I don't care if the kanji is wrong, the gesture itself is divine! If there is anything wrong here, I really can't find it, or rather I wouldn't try to... <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart"/>
