Oh hey, I've risen from the grave once more.
I've disappeared on and off for a while now and I suppose I should explain myself rather than continue to slink deeper into that bottomless abyss. I've been busy. I'm not talking a little busy, like getting work done scattered here and there, and call it a day. No, I'm talking seriously busy. It's almost like one minute I complete a task and feel accomplished and then the next one reveals itself and it's back down in my self-doubt I go. This demotivates me to a rate my art becomes increasingly more limited than it used to be. I really want to get back into the swing of things, as I dislike my mental attitude attempting to bash down on me. And this is the beginning of that transition. I've mentioned it a lot in the past but I should keep my promise--the one I've been saying countless times--to remain active as possible, posting often, and sharing even the simplest works. I am doing this for myself more than anything else, as I do not want to lose any more of the inspiration that continues to rise in me.

I'm not keen on creating self-portraits depicting me. Heck, I'm not a huge fan of it either.
But I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do so. What's my art without the dark twists in them, honestly?
This project ended up turning out surprisingly better than anticipated and it was fun at that.
I am a pretty dark, morbid illustrator, as I take many of my inspirations from some of the most horrific points in history, movies, and other things. Horror, in other words!
This portrait focuses on me, who I think I am, and how I feel about myself based on appearance, mental state, emotions, thoughts, et cetera. I figured encompassing my positive thoughts and ideas about my outlook of life and self-esteem on my body like tattoos was best as it is my outer shell, what others may see. The top of my head is melted away like burning candle wax, revealing a blackness within my hollow head. All the thoughts that seem negative rise from it like smoke to flame. Notice how much more is contained there than down below. My negativity belittles me, uses the best of me, harms me. But I have words that prevent it from worsening to its most negative state. But those aren't my forever stream of thoughts. What comes from my mind also inspires me, where my ideas are produced, and my imagination is expanded on a plain, white canvas. The candles are the spark to a flame that engages my mind. They are the light when all others have tuned out. My mind is a huge landscape and is what keeps my art flow moving. Without it, there wouldn't be my artistic passion. I am forever thankful for both my positive and negative thoughts.
I enjoyed creating this one thorougly. There is a lot to take in, lots of words.. I'd say a little over 100-150! Self-portraits are never easy to make but once I am able to get around to them I enjoy the process and the finishing product. I hope that the rest of you think the same, perhaps find some inspiration too!~

Thank you all sincerely for supporting my work even through my inactivity. I promise you all there is more to come once I get myself properly organized with the schedule I have. There are so many projects I wish I could share and would absolutely be willing to share. Perhaps that will be the next thing I conjure up and showcase.. 
 
 I don't know about you guys, but.. I'm getting so excited for autumn. I gotta get my spooky on early!  
 
Regardless, I hope you enjoy this piece. Share it 'round, spread it amongst your friends, family, and peers. I need all the support I can get, as this work isn't simply a passion for me anymore. It is a career, too. Shares, comments, and favourites are highly encouraged!
Now now, I must settle a bit, prioritize, and get back to work. Projects are on their way.. so stay tuned. )
'Till then, see y'all in the next post!~
🖤
