Description

...Monsters don't sleep under your bed, they live inside your head....


Inspirartion 

"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds." — Franklin D. Roosevelt


Personal notes 
I have been playing with this idea for a while now. Oringally my idea was that her tendril like 'thoughts' would form a bird cage around he, but I didn't suceeded with it. Hopefully I can shape it a bit more with the coloring.

Aww maaan....I feel I am too rusty with pen... haven't been able  to draw these days...

Ah, love your progress here.

Technically, I can see the challenge of differentiating the foreground (front of cage), background (rear of cage) and middle ground (where the tendrils extend up/down from her head.  I think you will be able to establish those distances with your colors, which will be stronger than the line weights you have now.

I love the expression you have given her, and the tension in her hands.

Glad you liked it Indeed it was easier to alleniate these parts with colors (I am arealy coloring this piece)

Yeah, she doesn't have  the usual happy smiling face, so everybody notice it

and again... don't apologize for "delayed" responses.   Life just has this way of tripping us up sometimes. 

Personally, after seeing your colored version of this piece, I think this is one of my favorites out of what I've seen you do (though to be honest, I have a lot of "favorites" in your work. )  It is both technically well done, and emotionally powerful.  Full of complex metaphors and simple beauty.


This is a piece you should be proud of in the best possible way...

this is a piece that really speaks to me....

That's what is needed to support the intention behind this. In pastel colors it would just look cosy and nice. Like a fairy with wonderful hair. My personal choice would be a pale person with originally bright reddish hair that turns a darker and darker red towards the outside, until the tone tunes in with a black background.

Looking forward to seeing your choice
