Description This drawing took me a really long time to finish, because it's so BIG and so many details! But now it's done

About the drawing: I wanted to draw a symbolic drawing about gossip. Not so long ago, a friend of mine had some really big problems that totally destroyed her whole life, only because of a stupid rumor/gossip. I think we sometimes forget, that words can give deeper scars than any knives can.

I wanted the demons to represent the creaturs people turn into, when they create rumors and gossips. Elegant, but evil, whispering. The left demon have ivy arround her body. Ivy is toxic (poison?) and makes you sick. The right demon got a forked tounge. There is a thing in sweden, that we say that people who lies, have forked tounge. The tattoo on her shoulder, is called oborus, the self-eating snake, representing an endless cycle.

I wanted the person in the middle to symbolize the people that is listening to the gossip. She's unsure, both afraid, but wants to hear more. The third eye, is the wiser eye, and it cries.

You might wonder why the demons are full of scars. That's because, what I've observed in my life, there are no happy and complete people, that create gossips to hurt others. Only scared and unhappy people, do that.

Well, that's just some of my thought, and sorry, english is not my mainlanguage, so I can't explain the drawing as good as I want to, so just use your imagination

I've used copic marker, airbrush and ink

Wow. Beautiful work and a wonderful message. Ah yes the forked tongue. I believe this represents the serpent in the garden of Eden who deceived Eve?
