Description
Taurus kinda gave me a pain in the ass, doncha know~
Scanner kill kinda fixed, though. c:
Ah, so.. artist statement time.

Taurus
A primary Earth symbol, Taurean personalities embody a love for life and material possessions. Taureans tend to be very possessive and enjoy the sensations and little joys of life. For this reason I have Taurus dressed in fine clothing, grasping the calf in a possessive manner. The grapes are used to capture the earthly pleasure aspect of Taurus, as well as to reflect the Dyonysus traits in the sign. Taurus governs earthy tones and the neck, which is framed in a collar of wheat-like material and fastened by grapes. This grounds the figure and shows where Taurus' focus is placed. The birth defect used in Taurus is blindness, representing the stubborn behavior of the sign. Taureans are notorious for doing things their own way, and while they are rarely aggressive people, they are easily disturbed when forced to leave their path of concentration. The background of the image is reminiscent of The Hierophant, which is the complementary Tarot card of Taurus. Five is the primary earth number, which is found in the five-pointed star located behind the figure, trapped by three circles (two drawn, one being represented by the head of the figure). The primary animal of Taurus is the bull, here represented as a precious calf that has potential to be large and stubborn in the future but presently is passive and lackadaisical, enjoying life's pleasures. This is the full interpretation of Taurus' personality.


Virgo is next, gaisss.

i have to say, after calling yourself a one-trick-pony in months previous, you're making the past you eat your words XD
i love all the symbolism you have been incorporating in these drawings. it's one thing to put them in, it's another to put them in so seamlessly.

Aww, thanks. ;w; For a long time I've wanted to do art that had more meaning to it. Sure, I like doodling kitty boys and terrible terrible yaoi scenes, but when I got the opportunity to draw something meaningful and something that needed to have a statement behind it, it became... fun~ Perhaps after this I'll be able to do more personal pieces...
Or maybe I'll just draw kitty boy smut. Who knows. ;A;
