"Even though your faded glow won't burn through all your bars, you put out to put up.
Even while your widening smile was shaking in the smoke, your head was full of hope.

Because I am a member of the butterfly culture;
Where we work and we take, we play and we pray to God that the girl in that dress will undress and distress you with the way that she moves..."


So...this one wasn't really one of my most spectacular pieces. Working without a real-life or photo reference, anatomy becomes a very difficult thing to achieve, and my art suffered for this. As for the shading, I'm not COMPLETELY unhappy about it, but I won't say it's my best work by any means. Given, it's not meant to be a realistic shading. It's moreso for the "light side" and "dark side" effect, emphasizing Porcelain's past (the shadowy, bloodied side with her freshly-blinded eye) and setting it apart from her present/future (the light, pure, clean side) as a more obvious opposite. In fact, the whole idea of this piece was for it to be more sketchy-looking. I wanted to mimic traditional media, and I'd like to think that I've done just that. Though, I do know that I could have done a lot better, I thought it would still be a nice thing to stay in this active state that I've been in and post it for you guys to see.
This is, however not-as-professional-as-usual it may be, a piece in my AP Concentration series. I don't know if I'll be submitting this as one of the five "quality" pieces (probably not), but in many ways, I am proud of it. I did work really hard on it, so hopefully some of you will enjoy it.
Whatever way you feel about it, here you are.

Art (c) me.
Porcelain (c) me.
Lyrics (c) Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Textures (c) mostly Sirius-sdz, though some were just overlays of pictures of crumpled-up paper and watercoloured-on paper. Fun stuff.


(If the blood is too much for anyone, don't hesitate to ask me to put a warning on this. I don't mind. I'd rather be safe than sorry. The last thing I want to do is trigger anyone. I love you guys ;-; )
