Happy new year. Thank you for taking the time to view my art.

It's hard to describe what inspired this piece, however there were several themes that came to mind while making it, not all of them survived the creation process.

The two that did however were: "Haunted" and the phrase "There's God in my heart and the Devil in my head".

I'm not a religious person, however the cross and the imagery of heaven and hell are universally understood. Alluding to those things helps me a lot in my expression.

Have a good night.

Fantastic album. "Jesus Christ" was actually in my playlist for this one funnily enough. As for the theme. Yeah. I do like branching out here and there in terms of who I draw, however the character in most of these is a representation of myself. I find it easier to express various emotions when using the same sort of "canvas", although admittedly even I'm feeling like I need a change of design at this point. 

Those inktober drawings are absolutely insane. I do love the representations being very clear and easily digestable for people who may lack the knowledge or experience to otherwise understand the phsyciatric terms. I guess for me, I'm just trying to get back into drawing again after going some time without doing it much at all. Getting my ideas down and doing my best to express the internal workings of my psyche is hard enough without focusing on keeping things fresh. That being said, I would like to begin to feel like I'm improving as well while I'm in this new motivated phase of my life.

Thank you for the comment, lots to think about with those reference materials and the gentle nudging ciritque.

I love it! The stylization is really nice. I see your previous submissions and this one are following a bit of a . . . a theme here.
Your inspiration themes explanation forces me to be lame and link a clearly relevantly titled and favorite album of mine. Unjoy.

Are there other figures that come to mind when wanting to do one of your surreal portraits, lately? Maybe something even more symbolically representative, like a visual personification of a specific emotion or emotion combination, or just an idea, rather than an existing person.

Did you catch this dude's inktober drawings?

Yep.
