The CoreAs the day closes in onto itself like a snail making a shell, twisting the bony substance into a frozen whirlpool of immobility, I write. Holding my antennae high like seeing pearls on the sceptres of a ruler, slowly crawling along the virtuous path of traveling one's belly to the true soil beyond the concrete. A circlet of sharp silver and looped smoke has been closed around my temples, I see sphere-shaped accusations hidden within red lilies no more. There is calming snow on my tongue, making its way like an invisible cascade of sunlight upon water down my throat, coating my spine and turning my ribs into hoary pine needles in a perfect pic

Prepare your Heartby *Kuume

Traditional Art / Drawings / Surreal

In this piece, I wanted to depict a deep feeling of caring and the yearning to protect loved ones from death, while facing its reality (the funeral flowers in her hair symbolize this).

I used mechanical pencil and pencils for this work. I've also cleared up the space around the character (and the face a little bit) in Paint Shop Pro, because it had some smudged areas and traces of removed elements that turned out impossible to erase. I could've fixed this problem by adding a background, but I didn't feel like making one anymore after something around 16 hours of working on this piece (another new record!). I felt very unhappy about the underlying sketch, as I forced myself to work on it even though I was dead tired, just because I was feeling a compelling need to express a concept.

Beautiful! Pencil might just be my favourite tool, I like all the textures in this. I wish this was my drawing.

Nää on aivan ihania kaikki nään sun kuvat! Valtavan yksityiskohtaisia ja mielikuvituksellisia ja kaikinpuolin mahdottoman upeita! Todella omaperäisia ja hirveän kauniita

Ja uskomatonta, miten paljon tunnetta saa pelkällä mustavalkoisuudella ja kaikilla noilla kuvioilla ja muodoilla ja apua, en osaa sanoa oikein sen enempää

Todella taitavaa valon ja varjon käyttöä ja apua. Todella hienoja
