Description Let me keep you from
Experiencing need
Let me bind you with my selfishness
And greed

(download for full/huge view)

A gift (early Christmas? ) for .
The idea had been floating around in my head since September, and I even made a preliminary sketch in my school planner. She sent me the song "Let me Be Your Armor" by Assemblage 23 a while ago and while listening to it on the bus for a good month this image just wouldn't go away. It's her boy, Marthuse, possessed by his demon. The demon offers him protection and everything he could ask for, but he's also using Marthuse as a tool and cares more about control than actual good intent :/

I tried to make Marthuse look both...happy? Thankful? In a sort of demented way, but also pained and tormented. I know he doesn't think of his affliction as a burden, it was just an interpretation, and I hope you're okay with that <333

Marthuse and his demon and story are all copyright . ONLY JOE has permission to use this image!


Let me stifle you
Let me have control
Let me smother
Every aspect of your soul

I'm quite pleased with the perspective myself, though it helped SO SO MUCH to draw it on a much tinier scale, first <3

You don't know how much I love the colours. The markings on the demon really make him original - kudos to for creating it and especially to you for using it to make such a fantastic pic.

You and your fucking perspective. How much perspective do you see in my gallery? Starts with an "n" and ends with a "one." Bah.

I'm so glad you like it ;_; I gave it more of a darker theme instead of having Marthuse be "o hai :>". That's just how I felt when I was sitting on the bus (wow, what a great reason xD) I had a lot of fun making this!

ANYWAY YOU ARE SO WELCOME AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKE IT YAYYYYY ILU2 <3333
