Description Ill shed my skin show my true beauty,
Be the person that lives inside of me.
Show it to the world and be brave to be nothing but myself.
Ill blow you away.
She is never going to be anything like she once was.
The new,
Improved
Me.
----------

This image has a whole pile of things spewing out of it that mean a lot to me personally. Sometimes we can become something we are not truly…
We become something we despise, something ugly, cruel and nasty…
Our outside shell can be taken over along with the inside…
This image is about breaking free, going through change and refreshing ones self.

Sometimes I feel like I need to heal myself, edit and work on *who I am*
Sometimes we look at our reflection and don’t like what we see…
But for this image it’s not something physical like when we see our reflection and despise it or wish to change it…
Her empty shell laying below her is battle scared and full of hate yet her new beautiful clean and maybe –ure- self is not necessary more beautiful.. just more alive, confident and almost intimidating.

This image was a makeover of something I drew years ago… *see it here [link] *
I loved the idea and wanted to refresh it because I’ve always felt the image and its messages where very unique and special to me.


Drawn with watercolour pencils *no added water*
AGAIN the red and oranges blended in the wings DID not turn out great… the whole scan of this looks kinda shitty!!
Black ink for hair and lead pencils.
Also outlined with fine liners.

Xoxoxo Tegan.


this probably should be mature content... i just dont like how my last image that was mature content seems to vanish from my gallery when friends try find it...
if any complaints ...let me know and ill put the mature content screen on it.

Great art. It's a nice concept you have here -a woman who, in essence, becomes pregnant with, then gives birth to, her new self.
I'd like to see a series of pics which show the transformation in progress.

hopelessfreak [2007-05-18 00:01:09 +0000 UTC]

it would be nice if we all could do something like that... "clean ourselves".
i love this concept, very creative!
must say i like her left hand (the one that's on my right). those kind of hands are so... your style, very unique
the wings are amazing!

Otimaru [2007-01-15 05:12:35 +0000 UTC]

You know what this reminds me of?
Frogs wearing little top hats.
Regardless; I like the way you constrasted those colors without making anything (especially those wings) really pop out.
I can imagine her stretching after she frees herself.

i know what you mean by healing yourself
heh the dead carcus reminds me of me in a way, scars on my arms, and on my heart
intresting how it happens to be that way really..got me all like wooooooooo
its nice to see the change between the older version of this picture and the revised version. i can say your style has surely changed, id say for the better but thats only on the behalf that i can relate to the darker stuff but still both built with a brilliant mind and quite an artistic side *jealous of your abilities my beauty*

glittersniffer In reply to longlivethisnerd [2006-05-04 03:33:00 +0000 UTC]

thankyou yes i have alot of older fans of my furry -more colourful work- mind you my art these days is pretty colourful! i like the style im doing now myself, obviously otherwise id be looking to change it its just more me and its finding me in all sorts of places like advertising for alternative stores and really grabbing the attention of others who share my same interest!

i hope the skin on the floor does not remind you of yourself too much! i hope you spread your wings are fly yourself!

-kisses and hugs-

longlivethisnerd In reply to glittersniffer [2006-05-04 03:45:27 +0000 UTC]

well your art is most certainly eye catching and appealing to the darker of people these days, which seems to be growing more and more by day
its great that your art is getting out there for advertisment reasons and i can understand why too
well i am healing taht skin its in the process really, someday itll be ok
*hugs and smooches back* ^________^

This has to be one of my favourite of your work. It's less busy than some of your other work and consequently more focuses on what truly is an amazing concept. Well done!

This is one hell of an original concept, I wish I had your imagination!! The wings look wonderful, and I truly love those empty-looking eye sockets! Spooky
The coloring job is once again beyond fantastic!

I've never seen a metamorphosis piece quite like this, a bit more morbid than usual, but just as beautiful. I love how the new person is beautiful and the husk is...well...ugly...decaying...dead...very symbolic.
