Description Uncoloured version coming tomorrow because I couldn't pick which I liked more.

I resolved never to make a gas mask monster cause it's too easy... But damn was the temptation too strong. I think he looks cute <3

Yea ofcouse man, it's just that I use a LOT of symbols. I almost know why I'm drawing this and that.
F.x. I have a symbol where I use bees coming out of a nose (the brain), where the bees have a light bulb as a beebutt (ideas), and I'm afraid of bees. - Like I'm sometimes afraid I'm gonna go crazy. You see?

I just wondered how it was with others.

I checked out your gallery, your work has a really nice look and it's cool that there's actually meaning behind it all! I wish my work was that deep but pretty much as I'm drawing I'm just like 'It would be cool if this monster had this and these!'

I think I probably to take a lot of inspiration from elsewhere though, my drawings are often compared to things from games or movies, though it's almost always something I've never played!

The bees are really cool, I had a recurring dream when I was younger that I was being chased around my house by one, and I know that's super lame compared to most peoples recurring nightmares but I was terrified cause there was no way I could make it stop.

Thank you!

I believe that there are a reason behind our all our actions, and our like and dislike. 
So in my world, you chose to draw monsters like that because it connects to you in some way. 

     - Probably something with society in this case, because of all the arms under one masked creature. The hands are also replaced with tools, the things          that makes human a kind of machine, and takes us above other creatures.  (And then we are remaking ourselfs and our world with it (the sewing              thread)).
                - Or maybe not. That's just what I see.
                  Maybe because I studied the relationship between humans and machines late year. I'm probably a bit brainwashed xD

I'm afraid of bees, so it DOES NOT sound lame to me!
You probably fell chased by something in you life which you had no power of, and it was therefor recurring. I think? Dunno

I was actually thinking about it a lot recently, cause my parents are VERY religious and my drawings upset them and they're always asking where I'm getting my influences too.

The best way I can describe it is that I have always been fascinated by nature, when I was a kid I was a HUGE dinosaur, amphibian, insect and reptile nerd and I had so many books about them, which I could recite off by heart. I was so dedicated to it, and of course I tried to draw them. But I've never been good at copying from life, so I would draw from my head instead, and if I was going to draw from my head, why NOT draw weird, fantastical creatures? xD
As I've grown as an artist almost every other one I've known has been adept at copying what they see, but why provide a service that almost everybody else can do better? My dream job is to draw, and I think that my best shot at getting that is to play to my strength and keep drawing the twisted creatures that my brain offers up.

Though there are a lot of things going on in the world that make me angry, so who knows I wouldn't be surprised if they are influenced by political situations or are in some way me rationalising things that are happening to me. c:

It's interesting what your fascinated by dinosaurs when your parents are religious. 
- tell them that is better what is come out on the paper than staying in your head! 

If you copy it's not art, it's skill, or a handwork if you please.. Which I think is freaking boring, everyone can learn it if they put enough effort into it.
Art, per my definition, is what comes from within. It's when you express something psychic in a physical way, like with drawing. 
Keep them both up. You know both the artist and the drawtist. 

You wanna draw? Like being an illustrator? 
 To "draw" is pretty many thing, and most of the time you draw sh*t you don't really want to. Ever tried to do a commission(I think that's the word, but I'm not sure)? What freaking sucks! Most people think your some kind of machine. 
"Draw me something!"
"Like what?"
"Something COOL and SPECIAL"
"..."

Or the other one
"Draw me something"
"Like what?"
"ME!"
"..."

Ohhh yeah don't even get me started on the people asking for drawings of themselves! It's relentless I tell you! I barely even draw people outside of my life drawing class.

I'm starting my 3rd year in an Illustration course so I am pretty sure of that yes! And last year was a huge struggle of drawing stuff I hated, apart from my finals I didn't have fun on a single project, so I am fully aware of what my future holds, assuming I make it!
