a series... or sorts

so i have an idea for a series or illustrations in my head involving self, and well this popped out. YAY. the idea of this is how we tie ourselves down with our own personal doubts and fears, like how we may tell ourselves we are not good enough, smart enough, fast enough, skinny enough etc etc etc. the list goes on! i always believed that we are our own toughest critic because we know what can cut down to the quick the fastest. we can disarm ourselves very easily and all it needs is a food hold, before we know it, we have emotionally spiraled into feelings of self loathing.

pretty dark. EEK! but i think as humans with our nature we have to take the good with the bad. we have to accept that we are not perfect but that also makes us better in some way. (we each have to find that way) i dislike how we allow ourselves to be so caught up in our 'ego' (happens to me trust me) and i hope that one day no one gets mentally tied down by their inner fears and worries.



the sketch came after about 4 other ideas, but none of them felt right. i was in a bit of a mood when this idea came to me and i wanted to catch it. i like the hair mouths idea. >3



ahh yes, the painting is about 40% done. >_< this is what i have so far, and i must admit doing the ink on the WC paper was a difficult task BUT also gave it a good effect, so, in the end, i like it. but probably wont use it for other things (the paper makes the lines super jittery, so unless i need that effect well... yeah.)

more to come! soonish.
