This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I love everything about this, the emotion, the creepy factor, the lighting and shading, the line art and style!

Me too, buddy

Excellent art! Resonates a lot with me.

Amazing style, technique, and skill! Please share more, OP!

Represents migraines/cluster headaches I'm guessing.

This is such a good interpretation. It took me right to the depression and anxiety monsters in my head. Clearly I'm broken lol

I also read it as anxiety because you go back and forth a lot, second-guessing yourself. Therefore the angel/devil making that kind of motion to saw the head off can be seen as losing your mind.

Also, the creatures escaping the brain are like a panic building, then breaking out to me.

No you could be right. The devil and angel monsters don't really fit with a migraine, I'm probably wrong.

Unless the artist comes and tells us otherwise I don't think you can be wrong. That's one of the things I love about art, it resonates in different ways with different people.
