Hint: it's absinthe. The color of which I took a lot of liberties with.

And this is my hello to Dr. Henry Jekyll aka Mr. Edward Hyde's better half! Welcome to the ray of light that is my attention! It's awful; you're gonna love it.

P.S. - the hat symbolizes both Jekyll's position in society and its role in the fulfillment of Hyde's supposed-to-stay-hidden desires. Also, it's really fun to draw.

We have this joke in Bulgaria:

See here, I don't drink often, or a lot... but one drink is enough to turn me into a different person, and that other person, now HE drinks lots and lots.

Sound familiar, doesn't it... especially in the context of 'Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', which can easily be interpreted as a metaphor for addiction...

Let's just say there's a reason I call the secret component for Jekyll's potion 'magical cocaine' (no really, check this out: cocaine increases alertness, feelings of well-being and euphoria, energy and motor activity, feelings of competence and sexuality; anxiety, paranoia and restlessness can also occur, especially during the comedown; with excessive dosage, tremors, convulsions and increased body temperature are observed - those of you who have read the book might discover this sounds eerily familiar).

Another interesting tidbit is the color of Jekyll's weird potion - it turns red like wine (classy, harmless in moderation and even healthy, for the transformation into good ol' Jekyll) and green like absinthe (ill-reputed and intoxicating, for the transformation into Hyde; also, absinthe is said to cause a 'clear-headed' feeling of inebriation — a form of 'lucid drunkenness', which is quite similar to the way Jekyll felt as Hyde).

Unrelated-to-the-drawing-but-not-quite-that-unrelated: Hokova is the daughter of Edward Hyde and Satine from Moulin Rouge. Also, I am descended from Herbert West, but that is neither here nor there.

Now the weird thing is that this particular crossover might actually work, give or take a couple of years or decades... Imagine Dr. Jekyll going on a pleasure trip to Paris.
