Artist's Comments

Let me start by saying I am VERY hesitant to post these pictures.
This collection took me months to complete; they're pretty much my babies, and I want to share them with you.
As for how long they'll be up, I'm not sure. I'm very nervous!

PLEASE do not copy/ steal my work. ;__; <33

All are done with Prismacolor colored pencils.

Lemme hear what you think they mean <33

O_O this is destubing to me but still beautiful.. the guy is so intense its like he is trying to invade my bubble from the picture.. the girl doesnt seem very happy ether.. abusive guy maybe? or just strict? possibly he is taking over her life because she is "just a woman" as some people would have once said

His stare is burning and hypnotizing. I love this picture, it does look like an abusive relationship and that the girl is looking to the lord for help.

This is amazing, you truly inspire me to keep drawing.

the meaning of this seems rather obvious to me, though of course it's all just speculation... i could be wrong!

it's about how easy it is for people (and maybe not just people in general, but young people?) to give in to sin and temptation. the man behind her can be someone that she is lusting after, hence trying to resist, or it can be a manifestation of sin, or even the devil himself, grabbing at her, trying to take her into sin. i would like to make some symbolism from the drapery in the background but i just can't think of anything right now.... :|

I love how her hair looks like a veil or something. She reminds me of a virgin (or THE VIRGIN) being tempted. Intense and beautiful!

Oh wow. I didn't notice this before, but going over the images again, I just now noticed the trickle of blood coming from her left ring-finger. Which leads my mind to think that her temptation is not just lust, but sex outside of a married relationship.
