Choke Cherry Lips

Description

The most seductive of sirens singing the sweetest lies.

[About the Character]
For those of you who have not seen her before, this is Misery. She is the demon I created to embody depression, self injury, and suicidal thoughts/suicide.

This "demon" is a siren of sorts and her song is the addiction I have to cutting and the longing to stay depressed when it feels real to me. She sings in the back of my head promising relief from pain when in fact she only causes me more pain and suffering.

I try not to give in to her, but sometimes I can't hear anything but her sweet seductive lies. Sometimes I give in.

[About the Picture]
This picture was an attempt to work on my anatomy and practice a bit of new coloring technique. :)

That's strange, because I felt like there was something in my head telling me to self-harm too... Clearly I'm not alone in hearing her. Thank you!

This picture is so good in so many ways. That smile is terrifying. The distorted look of her ribs, and her blank eyes, makes it even more horrifying, and I love the institutionalised feel to this.

Beautiful work!
