Artist's Comments

Another game of "find your own symbolism"
Seriously. Make stuff up about what this picture means. I'd like to hear it :>


I don't like the foot, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with this? Even though it has absolutely no meaning to me and and I did not plan it out whatsoever.
I just wish I could paint with actual real life (or "RL") paints :c

3-4 hours in photoshop, in case you're wondering


lulz I like how there is absolutely no consistency in my gallery whatsoever. It looks like you're browsing a favorites list, but with less cool shit.

Dude I love that back.
To me it looks like she's having an emo episode because she has no hands with which to catch that fish, and shes really hungry.

"Trying to get your hands on something and can't? " Struggle to survive, struggle to achieve what you want to achieve, and for that, you suffer.

LOL Yeah. Symbolism is fuuuunnnnnn. This is a brilliant piece of work and I'm absolutely astonished at its beauty. ^w^

This is astonishing. I absolutely adore symbolism.

The fish reminds me of Dali... but I agree with the other people who commented, something about not being able to reach what you want...

Personally, I agree with =Chocolate-Rhinos theory on the symbolism. X3
But seriously, this is really interesting. I love the fish, and the contrasting colors you used. I suppose with how everything is somewhat disjointed - the fish is vivisected, and the figure has no hands, it could be about longing for communication / touch / connections / etc. Loneliness, or the desire to reach out and feel something real.

Lack of consistency is awesome. Those people that like, only draw in the same anime style allll the time really bore me. Sure they have amazing colouring skills and the backgrounds are so detailed and crazy ass realistic, but it's just blah.

But yeah. I really like the colours you used. The muscle tone and atanomy and what not is reallly good. And I like the pseudo-brush stroke textures. DIGITAL PAINTERLY FEEL, HELL YES.

I love how the colours are so dark, except under water. Something about the meaning of happiness, and not being able to reach it? Idk.

I like how the fish is sliced up.
