war of the monkies

This is what happens when you get no sleep for some time and draw whatever your crazy fiance tells you to. At least the monkey is happy.

I drew a few things while trying to kill off my artblock. I used a picture of me for reference. Yes, my hair is now buzzed on the back and sides. It is all buzzed down real low. Yes, I love it. It feels nice and feels like me. It is a combo of long and short hair. I can’t stop feeling my head! XD SO FUZZY!

Trying to kill off the art block.

Did you know that drawing from an “uke’s” P.O.V is pretty friggin hard? But there should be more of it around! Oh, and incase some of you are wondering… yes, Phoenix lost his virginity, and yes, Cole loves eating Phoenix’s boy pussy <3

Absence [Life]

I am not sure when my drawing mojo will come back or when I will fully come back from hiding. I have sorta been on but I kind of closed off from a lot of people lately due to a lot of things going on with family and personal life. Good and bad things have been going on and I guess that kind of took a toll to most of the arty side of me. It hasn't fully died off and I am still hanging on. I just seem to only be able to do a bit of creative writing off in the shadows [RP] but that's about it. My mojo will come back, but I just want to let everyone know why I haven't really been around and reduced to giving small to no messages or replies. So currently I am a full time observer and my 60% lurker nature has bumped up to 90%

You can see what I am up to on twitter though! Hehe. I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Later~!

This drawing took me a while to make. The background is perhaps the one thing that took me so long to finish up. Well, a bit on the explanation of this piece. I’ll try to keep it short and simplistic since there is just way too much detail to fill in the backgrounds for these people. If you know their story then the explanations might make more sense.

Cole facing away from Cole [on the bottom]: There is a reason why I drew it this way. Cole is a man who has made many mistakes in his past and committed quite a few self destructive sins. There is a side of Cole that is good but, like every human being, there is a darker side. He looks away from those sins and ignores confronting the things that he has done.

Bubbles: There is a simple reason for this—it resembles water. Cole and Phoenix’s astrological sign is Scorpio, the element being water. I made the bubbles a color combination of blue and green. Green symbolizes venom/poison and it is near Cole.

The Bloody Rose: The rose in this piece can have two or more meanings. One symbolism is the representation of Phoenix. Although he is beautiful and seems frail he can make you shed blood and leave a mark. It can also symbolize the overall relationship that is blooming between Cole and Phoenix.

Phoenix and Phoenix: Like Cole at the bottom there are two sides to this character. There is a dark, almost sinister side [the monster deep within] and there is a more loving and tender side [the human]. Between the two is Cole having a facial expression of bliss, release, or even looking a little lost. Phoenix helps Cole become enlightened from what he has done in his past and in a way he frees him from his guilt and gingerly forces him to face the damages he has done. At the same time Phoenix is ‘trapping’ him in an inescapable bond, claiming Cole to himself and pulling him into unknown territory.

Flames: Represents the Phoenix, Rebirth. The flames also look like wings which mean freedom. It also represents the passion Cole and Phoenix have for one another.

Smoke: Aside from the fact that Cole’s porn name is Smokey, we must remember that Fire and Smoke accompany one another. As bright as the flames are there is a smoke that makes things a bit mysterious. The smoke represents the secrets that are yet to be unfolded and adds a bit to the obscurity of both Cole and Phoenix’s personalities.

I drew this while doing an openCanvas session with Sasunaru69. These are my OCs Nicolas, who is 15 years old and Jacy, who is 18. They are side characters from a role-play and some short stories. These two have been friends since forever. Jacy is the leader of a mysterious gothic group in the little town of Silver Pine, while Nicolas is one of the members. Perhaps one day I will write a few short stories focusing on them that will explain more of their background. But for now I won’t say much so I won’t bring out any spoilers ahead of time.

• Nicolas © VisualFish: A skinny 10th grade freshman whose family owns a music store. His family business associates from selling CDs to setting up concerts for bands. He is very pale, short, with bleach blonde hair and is part of a mysterious Gothic group that is very selective with recruiting members. He developed an instant crush on Phoenix and wanted to recruit him.

• Jacy © VisualFish: Leader of the mysterious Gothic group. Jacy is a half Native American with bright blue eyes. He does not speak much but is usually seen with a serious face. He is very tall and believes strongly in spirits, vampires, werewolves, elves, sirens and other mystic things. He believes Phoenix is a descendent of a Blood Lord.

Explanations and such will be given later.

This drawing needs a lot of coloring and a lot of explanation. There is symbolism EVERYWHERE that I won’t bother to explain right now. I think I will do so whenever it is done. Currently it is late and I am very sleepy. I drew like a billion [5] things today and that is a heck load.

I was listening to Lovedrug while drawing this [damn I love that band name] but I am not sure if that influenced anything with the drawing.

Please excuse me while I dive into dreamland. Thanks. 8D


....... OMG where did this drawing mojo come from? Lexi got it too... omg 8O
