I like the main character and the bold colors. The main character seems to have a two-faced aspect. Don't know if that was intentional, but it's a nice effect.

Very much so. She's insane, and part of this is that her personality is shattered into a million fragments.

Oh, then do the red lines on her body reflect that? Because if they do, it's a very, very clever design.

Wow, that is freaky. I think I like the main character best, and the bit of two-faced aspect to the head.

This arouses my curiousity... I could love it for a flock of reasons. Mostly for its unpredictability - it's very queer, shattered, chaotic. The rage is obvious. I like the name too, it fits...
All the figures are lohovely~. Some of their most sharp-angeld shapes like that front-wrist remind me distantly of a cartoon network style, although I seldom saw it as a kid and can't remember more about that thought, darn. This dementia begins to annoy me..!! *rrhgrunts at self and fixes head a little*
I enjoy details, like spray-painted/ripped paper-edges, and the eyes of the rightside figure. The colours appeal to me, it's so great in the whole... funny... Messy with strange clarity, an unusual thing. Respect yo! Really, it's a sizzling piece. I'll take it to my picture den.

very neat design. it's funny--- as i scanned over your gallery pics i thought O a simplistic painter/nice. but at 2nd, 3rd, and 4th looks at -myslef hell- i was impressed and satisfied to find detail after detail. the brown hand reaching out of the foreground, the daggers floating/falling, the chests being opened on the figures to the right anf left, the head being split open in the center. it's packed and a joy to experience (in a twisted sort of way).

Oh, nice. Its always interesting to see digital art made in illustrator come out with so much motion and natural type randomness in it. Usually things look so clean and so geometric. I also like how she is shredded and two faced and cant seem to hold on to her knives or flowers. Thats exactly how I feel. Dont know whether my knives are flowers...

It's a very calculated and artificial randomness, for the most part. I mostly use AI for clean, graphic stuff, but sometimes you've just gotta do what the tool's not suited for.
Since doing this image, the character has changed into a slightly saner butterfly, a coldly calculating and foul salamander, and a cryptic spider. Oh, if only there were just two faces to her...

Insane ungrammatical flow... Ive noticed theres usually a lot of profound stuff in the states of mind that cause the strange words to come. English isnt meant for these things. I dont think its insane. Its just a matter of bashing the words to fit something they were never designed for. Have you posted your stories anywhere? That would be very interesting to see...

Sosael-and-all-her-other-names is something that comes out more in text than in drawings; she's one of the roles I play in an obscure little online text RPG. Often, she is poetic in what she says and how she moves; the horror is easier to accept when it's wrapped in obscuring metaphor.
When she's at her best, it's cooperative improvised poetry about mutilations and torture.
Other characters I play there, other masks I wear in that context, can also be poetic. But she's always had this insane ungrammatical flow to her. I don't write poetry in and of itself, that stands alone, but it's one of the ways I tell strange stories with a few strange friends.
There's stuff in my sketchbook, some online - go here and search for "sosael" - some not. But this is the only finished picture of her.

I could have swore I replied to this one... its not showing though. I think ungramatical speech can sometimes be full of really profound stuff. Do you have any stories up?

The rules of grammar are like any other rules for creativity: they're there for the breaking!
No, I don't have any stories out in the world, only half-worked-out plots for comics scattered throughout my sketchbooks, and assorted roleplay logs. Though the latter strays into microfiction territory now and then, it's not something I really call "story". Fragments and improv.

i do believe this is my favorite of your works. i just adore the bold, bright colors and all the angst and horror going on around her. plus she is just a fantastically unique character - anthro emotion! who woulda thunk it? the design is awesome.

Well, she's also a butterfly. This explains the four arms and the torn-up wings and the antennae, though it does not explain the double-exposure heads in this image.
But mostly that doesn't matter; mostly she's just about hate. The fact that she's a butterfly is pretty much incidental.
Thanks!

You're not the only person to say that, either. I should get a DA prints account 'cause I'm so lazy and don't want too wrangle with output bureaus.

... a mad tribal feel to this, especially with the abstract forms in the back that make out as standing figures...

Such a unique style - I really like the choice of colours here - they compliment eachother extremely well and are very appealing to the eye. What I like the most is how blocky this piece feels - sort of creates a layered effect.
