Description

This was done somewhat quickly. In an afternoon. Collectively it probably took about 3.5-4 hours. But given the short amount of time spent on it, it looks great. I'm trying to slow myself down to produce better quality art. Usually I work too quickly and end up sacrificing details for an overall feeling.

Anyway, this is inspired by a conversation I had with my friend Eli. He says he has an inner black chick. She comes out when he parties or gets angry. So given that we turned to our friend George. Well, he doesn't have an inner black chick. He has an inner Latina chick that comes out when he gets mad. He also has an inner butch lesbian. And an inner grandmother. (George is complicated like that.)

After a few days of joking about it I brought up what I'd have. It was sort of a unanimous consensus that I didn't have an inner minority---I have an inner angry white guy. His name is Devin.

So in this picture there's one rendition of Devin and how I see my inner self. How I feel I look and how I actually look are different. (I don't know if any of you other artists out there feel the same way.) So she's how I look to myself. But, obviously, in person I don't look much like that. I'm fat and stocky. But I am at least a natural blonde and have blue eyes and am fairly pale. XD It's not THAT far off.

So this is my "inner conflict". Devin's always there to catch me and pull me back up by the bootstraps. So in this picture he's nurturing a heart broken me. There's no specific reason I drew this now, really. (Maybe it's the aftermath of Valentine's Day setting in. Even though mine wasn't bad. But usually it is.) I have no reason to be heart broken now, but I've sure felt that way. And I've always appreciated that voice in the back of my head telling me to have a good cry, but then get up and shake it off. That'd be Devin. XD (There's also a sketch of him in the scrapbook I think.)

i like the pictures and its ideas! i know what you mean with the idea of having an inner self. i think my inner self is.... i dunno....i definately feel like i have more than one because i'm cool like that :P....
but i feel like my personality should be defined into halves:
1-a messy, crazy artist, where she feels deeply. she sings, dances, draws, and her emotions drench the air. for her rules are meant to be broken.
2- the good girl, that dresses properly, with hair never out of place- she's logical, and finds emotion pointless. she does exactly as told, and rules are rules and always followed.
inspiration: i'm totally going to draw the division of personality and stuff! thanks! :D
